New for 2023, the 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 in., .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 in., HyperFlite arrows provide more than 25% deeper penetration than the competition. Read more

Introducing the TruFire Edge FT — a new forward trigger archery release aid engineered to maximize draw length, increase accuracy and enhance comfort.

By moving the index finger actuated trigger further up the barrel of the release the Edge FT (Forward Trigger) expands upon one of the most popular release designs ever offered from TruFire. This, enhanced profile, maximizes draw length by nearly one inch yet allows users to still find their optimal anchor point, without sacrifices to trigger pull or hand positioning. The result is less “floating” at full draw, a more solid anchor point, and increased accuracy. Adding to accuracy, the auto closing trigger is powered by a closed-bias, dual-caliper dime-sized head that leverages an ultra-smooth linear motion bearing for a consistently crisp, and clean trigger break. Users will appreciate the enhanced performance delivered by customizable trigger tension and travel adjustments — all easily set through the simple rotation of a set screw. Release length is also customizable to the user’s preference by simply loosening a set screw and rotating the release barrel to the desired length, and angle for a truly personal fit.

Not to be outdone by tactical attributes, the fit and finish of the Edge FT is second-to-none starting with hard-wearing anodized components on the trigger, jaws, and barrel of the release. The precision machined internal components are engineered and custom-coated to offer a durable and smooth trigger that functions flawlessly at the moment of truth. The ultra-comfortable leather buckle strap is available in olive green or black and features TruFire’s patented FoldBack™ design that allows users to fold the release out of the way, while not in use. TruFire’s TrapTab™ with its hallmark TruFire arrowhead triangle design pulls through the buckle easier making light work of putting the release on and eliminating the need for a “third hand” during application.
