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 season after season. 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 on 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 package includes Barnett’s exclusive and patent-pending 20 in., .204 diameter HyperFlite arrows. The arrow’s 21% increased FOC (front of center) and .204 small-diameter shaft reduces wind drift, producing a deadly combination of blistering speed, downrange accuracy, and deeper penetration. HyperFlite arrows provide more than 25% deeper penetration than the competition.
The Hyper Raptor is exceptionally fast and proves to be tack-driving accurate. Barnett’s Halo System eliminates cable crossing and cam lean to create perfectly balanced string travel for superior accuracy. Additionally, arrows are held secure with Barnett’s Soft Lok™ Floating Bristle Arrow Retainer System, and CNC machined aluminum flight track provides consistency shot after shot.
The Hyper Raptor utilizes a metal-injected molded trigger and TriggerTech™ Frictionless Release Technology (a $200 value). The TriggerTech trigger features a reliable, crisp, 3-pound pull for consistent shots and improved accuracy, while an Anti-Dry Fire (ADF) system and a nock sensor ensure the crossbow is loaded correctly. Additionally, the Rope Hold Roller Ball technology keeps the RCD rope in place as you attach hooks to string for more consistent cocking. For hunters looking to use a CCD, Barnett offers a compatible Hyper Raptor CCD buttstock.
Comfort and customization add the finishing touches to the Hyper Raptor. Multiple features, like the finger safety reminders above the pass-through forend with Verti-Grip palm rest, enhance hunter-friendly ergonomics. An adjustable length-of-pull buttstock and a padded, micro-adjustable cheek rest ensure a perfect length-of-pull and proper scope-to-eye alignment. Pre-installed string suppressors reduce recoil, vibration, and noise during the shot.
Barnett packs even more value to complete the Hyper Raptor package. The crossbow comes outfitted with a premium 4×36 illuminated, multi-reticle scope with flip-up caps. The scope offers precise target acquisition in ambient light conditions. The scope is adjustable to calibrate the reticles to exact yardages based on arrow speed.
The complete package includes a premium side-mount quiver, three 20 in. HyperFlite arrows with field points, 4×36 illuminated, multi-reticle scope, integrated sled-style rope cocking device, and lube wax. Best of all, the Hyper Raptor’s single bolt assembly comes mostly assembled and virtually ready to hunt straight out of the box.
The search is officially over for the smoothest, fastest, easiest shooting experience. The Hyper Raptor delivers devastating performance with an unbelievable $599 price tag.
