Overview
Treestands and ground blinds are the setting for the BARNETT Hyper Raptor T-REX, a camo crossbow built with an aluminum frame. A built-in planetary gear crank draws and lets down the string, so the shooter never pulls it by hand.
Speed is the headline here, backed by a heavy draw and a crank that removes the hardest part of the job. The package arrives with scope, quiver and arrows, so little else is needed to start. On the other side, the listing gives no overall weight or dimensions, which matters to anyone climbing into a stand.
Who it's for
Hunters set up in a stand or blind who want speed and a safe way to cock and de-cock will get the most from it. Left-handed shooters should look elsewhere, since the listing specifies a right hand orientation.
Pros and cons
- Very high listed arrow speed
- Crank system removes manual drawing
- De-cocks through the same crank
- Illuminated multi-reticle scope included
- Right hand orientation only
- Overall weight not listed
- Warranty terms only point to the manual
- Only three arrows included
Performance notes
Arrow speed comes from the heavy draw weight acting over the listed draw length, and that stored energy is what carries the shot downrange. The planetary gear crank multiplies hand force, which is how a draw this heavy becomes manageable without a rope cocker. Accuracy then rests on the illuminated scope and on regular waxing of the rail and string with the supplied lubricant.
