Performance. Optimized.

Superior, WI – Forged for the fury of the field, Axe Crossbows have been engineered from the ground up to deliver an unparalleled shooting experience. Balance, accuracy, safety, speed, durability and stealth – like nothing the hunting world has experienced before. Compact by design, but colossal with its features, the new Axe AX405 crossbow is best characterized as; Performance. Optimized.

Thousands of hours in research and development have culminated into a configuration that widely departs from average in look, feel and efficiency. Historically, balance, weight and sound have all been the bane of crossbow designs and use. Axe cuts through those barriers with an optimized system that leverages the sum of all parts to deliver unprecedented performance and accuracy. With industry changing specs, the AX405 boasts 69% less felt recoil and 92% less sound resonance than comparable models.

At a compact and maneuverable 27.75-inches long and less than 10-inches axle-to-axle (cocked) the weight of the crossbow is centered over the shooter’s hand by way of a balanced shoot-through stock and riser design combined with a reverse limb system. This configuration empowers the most efficient part of the AX405’s split limbs to deliver bolt speeds in excess of 405 feet-per-second, from just 13-inches of power stroke. A proprietary cam system is linked by cables that run parallel to each other, rather than from the top of one cam, to the bottom of the other. This unique configuration eliminates cam-lean, limb torque and is further enhanced by an exclusive cable brace that engages the riser to aid in the limitation of flex away from the center of the crossbow. When combined, these features allow the string to move along the same plane throughout the entire power stroke. Unlike the one-piece aluminum rail concepts of conventional crossbow designs that rob speed, efficiency and bolt life, the stock of the AX405 eliminates the rail and utilizes dual carbon guide rods along the entire length of the stock. When combined with the shoot through riser and a tunable roller rest on the bow’s front end these features create a free-floating arrow system that mitigates contact, friction and torque along the arrow’s entire path further enhancing efficiency, accuracy and speed output. Amplifying the bow’s performance is a proprietary and industry-first small diameter (.166 I.D.) bolt system constructed to deliver extreme accuracy, durability, penetration and safety at a head-turning 17-inches long. The interaction between the bolt’s premium aluminum capture nock system and the bow’s string create an audible sound to note full connection and preparation to interface with the trigger system.
