Overview

Cocking the Barnett Demun Storm starts with a two-stage break action, and the quick-release D-TAC butt stock extension adds more leverage. A rotating riser flattens the frame for travel, and the kit adds bolts, tips, a sight and a sling.

The attraction is a short, ambidextrous frame that packs flat and arrives with a dot sight, carbon bolts and both hunting and blunt tips. The limitation is that the pull still takes effort even with the cocking aids, and the warranty only refers to the user manual.

Who it's for

Hunters who move gear often and like a ready-to-shoot kit. Shooters wanting a large frame or published energy figures will find too little detail here.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Riser rotates flat for transport
  • Two-stage cocking cuts effort
  • Butt stock extension eases cocking
  • Sight, bolts and tips included
Cons
  • Warranty terms left to the manual
  • Bolt weight and energy absent
  • Draw weight still demands effort

Performance notes

Speed comes from the pull weight acting on the carbon bolts, and the maker quotes the top figure as a maximum. The two-stage break-action cocking and the butt stock extension reduce the effort needed to set the string. The rotating riser changes the frame shape for carry, not how the crossbow shoots.
