Hyper Raptor 410 Lead

Barnett continues deliver new, innovative crossbows that are compact, lightweight and easy to shoot. The Hyper Raptor comes fully assembled and will surprise users with its accuracy.

Barnett uses its HyperFlite technology in the new crossbow that shoots small .204-diameter HyperFlite arrows. The arrows’ strength, steadiness, and small diameter provide speed and stability with energy transfer from the crossbow.

The Hyper Raptor is 7¼ inches axle-to-axle when cocked and sports a 14-inch power stroke. 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.

It has an MSRP of $599.99 and is sold as a complete package with a scope, arrows and a quiver. For more information, visit barnettcrossbows.com.
