bobcullen79 1,495 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Anyone know when barnett stopped using the qd clips? Its been awhile since I seen one on the shelf. Are they any better /worse than the new band sets you just push on round the bend of the forks? I would have thought with the clips, you have a swivel action that might help prolong the life of the tubes, negate band twist? At 35 my Mum is still finding confiscated items and giving me them back and shes just gimme a old widow, immaculate,bar perishied bands, with the qd clips.

1Wally 204 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I was thinking this the other day too. I was sure I had clips on my Barnett as a kid. No idea when they stopped using them though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
air gun ant 1,666 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Funny enought I've just been cleaning out my garage after shaming myself on another thread lol and came across an old Barnett catty! With clips. I've never seen it before in my life lol must of been in a box of random crap people seem to like giving me? I'll get some pics up and see if any of you can tell me what it is? Don't think it's a widow? Maybe a Diablo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonMundo 6 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Yea get some pictures posted up, would be good to see if there's any differences. And yea be interested to know of shooting differences/ practical experiences that people have had. Presumably they either changed from the QD clips because they found a better way or they cheaped out and suddenly bits of metal weren't worth the extra performance. Personally, and without knowing squat, I'd say costs are what saw the end to clips Quote Link to post Share on other sites
