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.
