Excalibur Assassin series has proven to be one of the most popular models ever developed due to the world’s first dead-silent integrated crank. Cocking the crossbow has never been easier. Also, at the end of the day, decocking is equally simple. The Assassin Extreme takes that ease of use and adds additional integrated features to make crossbow hunting easier than ever before.

The new integrated stock grip provides positive hand placement for a sure grip while cocking or decocking in any condition. A convenient crank handle storage provides a dedicated place for the crank handle when not in use. No more losing the handle somewhere in a backpack or worse in the field. Now, it’s accessible within inches. All this, coupled with Excalibur’s recurve advantage of fewer moving parts, equals a more reliable piece of equipment.

Additionally, it features Excalibur’s industry leading technologies: Read more

Veteran outdoorsmen and beginners can now find a quality, reliable, and deadly-accurate bow at an affordable price, all in the same crossbow series.

Tarpon Springs, FL – The all-new Hyper Raptor leads the way with premium features, performance-driven innovation, and industry-leading technology to produce the smoothest, fastest, easiest shooting experience on the market. Best of all, Barnett® offers all of this at an incredible retail price!

At the heart of every Barnett crossbow is quality and dependability. As the leading pioneer of the modern crossbow movement, Barnett’s never-compromising focus on precision, safety and performance has earned the trust of hunters from every walk of life and every corner of the world. With over 60 years of experience and scrutinizing every aspect of every crossbow, Barnett is proud to be the world’s #1 manufacturer of crossbows.

The Hyper Raptor excels in every aspect of performance-inspired design and technology. With a lightweight composite riser and measuring just over seven inches axle-to-axle when cocked, the crossbow provides excellent maneuverability in tight-quartered hunting applications. Its pivoting limb pockets put less weight at the front of the crossbow while making a more durable shooting platform with reduced recoil and vibration. With its compact and energy-efficient design, the Hyper Raptor sends small-diameter HyperFlite™ arrows down-range with incredible speed – up to 410 feet per second and 142 ft. lbs. of energy for maximum bone-crushing penetration.

Like all crossbows in the Hyper™ series, the Hyper Raptor is paired with Barnett’s exclusive and patent-pending 20-inch, .204 diameter HyperFlite arrows. The arrow’s 21% increased FOC (front of center) and 61% greater ballistic coefficient reduces wind drift which makes for a deadly combination of blistering speed, downrange accuracy and deeper penetration. With a straightness tolerance of +/- .001 inch, HyperFlite arrows provide more than 25% deeper penetration than the competition. Read more
