Does this scope require use of a battery? Where can I find front and rear manual sights for Barnett Wildcat C5 Crossbow?

No battery, as for your sights see if Barnett has a web sight, horten has a number to call, maybe Barnett has one on their site

I have a Barnett Jackal crossbow that came with a red dot sight. There wouldn't be much use for a laser on a crossbow, since the trajectory of the bolt is dependent on so many variables. If you're planning on hunting, the laser dot on an animal at any distance wouldn't tell you much. If you're shooting at a stationary target, a laser might work. Ask your sporting goods dealer if they can fit your bow with a rail for the laser.

Yes it does work well with and without the power on (red & green). Still surprised at the power this scope has for the price.

you will need an adapter, for just a few dollars more you can get a Jaguar crossbow. Is more powerful and it comes with the red dot scope. Big 5 sells them. The jagwire is my favorite inexpensive crossbow.

Yes, You can use batteries in this one, BUT it has a etched glass reticle you can see without a battery. I prefer not to turn it on as the black reticle does not distract from the target, I am not one for pretty colors. The broken circle with dot center lets me frame the target.

CR2032 3V battery since I only got the scope in September of this year, I cannot tell you how long a battery lasts.

No, it does not require batteries. It shoots very well, though it does need to be cocked after each shot.

No magazine or tube. You open the bolt as you would for a single shot rifle. Lay a pellet in the space provided and close the bolt. This automatically cocks the rifle and puts it on safe. Click off the safety and shoot. You then repeat the process. There are some good you tube videos that go into detail on this rifle. I would add that this rifle is very accurate and VERY quiet. It is not for hunting but more for plinking and target shooting.

A friend of mine has gotten three bucks in the past year with his barnett. Once sighted in the crossbow was very accurate. I use mine for competition and protection

I bought this because of the upper sight can be used should the batteries fail. When you sight in the scope verify with optic, then with bore sight. That being said, it still depends on distance and wind!

RandallI purchased the "Barnett ghost 410 CRT crossbow package" I didn't have that number as a reference.I don't know that I have adequately answered your question, but this is the package "I got"You can't go wrong, when you go Barnett

You don't need one. I have a flat top AR with standard front sight and I put this site on and had no issues at all.

You have to buy the crank handle and stuff but the crossbow already has receivers for it built in. It does NOT come stock with the weapon, you have to buy the parts.

Mine came with a scope. The scope was custom to the crossbow (yardage markers). Illimunited rectacle. Sweet shooting little box. Killed a 174 with it.

I didn't like the adjustable rail system because it made sighting in the scope impossible for me...the rail would move with every shot...so the seller ended up sending me a fixed rail which corrected the sighting problem...I don't know that you can attach the scope without the rail...I know my crossbow also came with a manual fixed iron type sight that I never did attach...don't know if you could try that (don't really need a scope to hit a target 20-25 yards)...you may just have to wait until they open back up.

Scope will function without battery.Mounted mine on Weaver Picatinny type rail works fine.

Honest answer is I don't like the scope it comes with. It works ok for about 15-20 yards. I would buy the one without and purchase a better scope the crossbow is amazing I bought another one. Keep the string waxed and lock tight in the bolt that hold the bow in place and it's pretty accurate. 3 thumbs up for me on fun and power it can be dangerous if that helps. I shot at my fence from about 45 yards and it stuck in about 1/2 inch
