Recruit XP
Barnett Recruit XP is perhaps the easiest to use crossbow ever made. The perfect combination of size, weight and ease of cocking make this the perfect choice for anyone looking for a crossbow that suits youth, women and men alike. The new Recruit XP is built to be both fun to shoot and lethal to hunt. With a 330 FPS rating, it sends arrows at speeds with pinpoint accuracy that rival the best top of the line vertical bows. The light 125 lb. draw weight is reduced by half when cocking with the included rope cocking device making this bow possibly one of the easiest to draw crossbow on the market. Additionally, the lighter draw weight extends the life of the crossbow. If you’re looking for your first crossbow or your last crossbow, look no further than the Recruit XP. It’s the perfect crossbow for hunting, shooting, and training for all ages and abilities.
