Barnett Hyper Raptor Crossbow, High-Speed Compact Crossbow Package with 4x36 Multi-Reticle Scope, Three HyperFlite Arrows, Without Crank Device

This is my intro in the crossbow world, had this baby sighted in after 2 shots @ 25yds, and took it out into the field, it was a success. I am impressed with the Barnett Hyper Raptor 410, just need to find more arrows, especially the .204 lighted nock and lumenok deactivater. This an awesome entry into crossbow and I’d recommend Barnett to others late to come around to crossbows.

The quiver mount isn't designed very well. You have to have an allen wrench to take it off, also I had a arrow that had came with the bow that one of the knocks wasnt glued in so it stayed attached to the bowstring when it was drawn back. Shoots well. Have yet to get a deer with it, only had it a couple weeks.

Got bow in April of 2024, for this upcoming hunting season took 2 shots and everything seemed fine. Went out for first hunt 10/26/24 and the slide RCD split in half on my first attempt to cock it. So i could not hunt... went to Order a new one and nobody has them not even Barnett which tells me there must be an issue with them... and you can not use any other cocking devices so this is totally useless...Do not purchase this piece of Garbage.... Never write reviews but I cant even get a person to respond to an email or a call. AGAIN DO NOT BUY!!!

Something inside the trigger mechanism is rattling but it seems to be staying in one spot instead of rolling around. So I don't know if it's supposed to be that way or not. Everything functions correctly and it shoots good but I did notice that the safety doesn't engage all the way when you cock it but it won't fire unless you put it on fire. So the safety does work. I've never heard anyone mention this about theirs. Maybe it's supposed to be that way.

Compact enough to put inside my backpack when hiking Excellent for maneuvering through brushy areas or in a tight fitting stand, kudos to Barnett for their improved site mount

Well… simple to assemble….The bow is compact and wicked fast…. Out of the box it was 1.5 to right of center and dead on up/down. About 10 clicks and it was shooting quarters at 50 yards. It’s a tack driver. The complaints about the rope cock I can see. The one complaint I have is the rope cock will get bound up a little between the bow and the string… not huge but enough you have to push with your thumbs… it’s more than what I like to do when the crossbow is loaded. Otherwise, seems like great build for the price. I’ll update if it breaks like others have, but I’m sure they weren’t loading incorrectly.

I’ve shot a handful of different brands and I’ve always liked barnett. I received the bow yesterday and was able to shoot about 12 arrows through it to get it sighted in. The scope came mounted and was mounted crooked so had to re-adjust and sight in a RTH (ready-to-hunt) package. No big deal. I did lubricate the strings and cables before shooting and about every 3 shots. I did notice the cocking rope mechanism is easy but rubs on the cables pretty hard when taking off and is already starting to fray after only 12 shots. Only time will tell but I stopped shooting it due to needing it in a few weeks and not wanting the strings to blow up like prior reviewers have stated. There is definitely space for improvement but overall the bow seems okay just some major flaws that could lead to failure. I will update review after the first season with it. I would probably opt for a different bow if purchasing again. The looks and features seem nice but I’ve had better quality for cheaper.

Absolutely LOVE this bow! Easy to sight in. Quick bow, can't even see the arrows fly. Just got a 9 point with it. I highly recommend!
