Components like molded limbs, pivoting limb pockets and self-timing cams work harmoniously to launch arrows at 410 fps with 142 ft.-lbs. of energy. The forward-draw limbs are designed to reduce up-front weight and vibration, making the crossbow easy to balance and shoot. The crank cocking device makes the 205-pound draw weight easy and safe to control. The bow includes custom features like a 3-pound trigger, adjustable length of pull, and step-through riser.
