Barnett Introduces the Hyper Raptor GTX and Two More Bows
Tarpon Springs, FL – Barnett® proudly introduces its latest powerhouse, the Hyper Raptor GTX™, engineered not just to compete but to dominate. This crossbow delivers a relentless combination of next-generation technology, blistering speed, and precision, setting a new standard for performance and control in the field.
The Hyper Raptor GTX™ is designed for raw, performance-driven power, launching specialized 20″ HyperFlite™ arrows at up to 425 FPS for deep, uncompromising penetration. Its performance is elevated by Barnett’s Halo System, which eliminates cable crossing and cam lean for superior accuracy, and the innovative Rope Hold™ Roller Ball technology, which ensures a flawlessly smooth and even cocking draw every time.
Precision is paramount, achieved through the elite metal-injected molded TriggerTech™ Frictionless Release Technology. This technology provides a crisp 3-lb break, Anti-Dry Fire (ADF), a nock sensor, CNC-machined aluminum flight track, and a Soft-Lok™ Floating Bristle Arrow Retainer for pinpoint consistency. The crossbow’s agility is unmatched, featuring a compact 7.5-inch axle-to-axle width (cocked), a lightweight composite step-through riser, and pivoting limb pockets that shift weight off the nose to reduce recoil and enhance stability.
Built for the discerning hunter, the Hyper Raptor GTX™ incorporates a suite of comfort and customization features, including an adjustable length-of-pull buttstock, a pass-through forend with a Verti-Grip palm rest, a padded cheek rest, finger-safety reminders, and pre-installed string dampeners for quiet, smooth shots. Its striking finish in ‘Ranger Green’ with Barnett’s new ‘Adapt’ camouflage on the continuous fiber-molded, parabolic limbs ensures a commanding presence.
The Hyper Raptor GTX™ arrives ready for the hunt. Each package includes a choice of premium optics: the Barnett 2-7x36mm illuminated scope, the BUKOPS™ X-Factor Laser Range Finder Scope, or the BUKOPS™ Cycloptic-X Scope with PRIME TIME technology. Additionally, the package contains three 20″ HyperFlite™ arrows, a sled-style rope cocking device, a premium 3-arrow side-mount quiver, and lubrication wax. Its single-bolt assembly means minimal setup for maximum time in the field.
Barnett’s Hyper Raptor GTX™ redefines high-performance hunting, offering the perfect balance of devastating power, intuitive control, and rugged reliability to ensure every hunter shoots with supreme confidence.
