Recruit XP
The 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 will suit youth, women, and men alike. The new Recruit XP is designed to be fun to shoot and deadly to hunt. Rated at 330 FPS, it sends arrows at speeds with pinpoint accuracy that rivals the best top-of-the-line vertical bows. The lightweight 125-pound draw weight is cut in half when cocked with the included string cocking device, making this bow arguably one of the easiest crossbows to draw on the market. In addition, 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 Recruit XP. It’s the perfect hunting, shooting, and training crossbow for all ages and abilities.
