Quietly displayed as a prototype at SHOT Show 2012, Barnett's new Vengeance crossbow has arrived. The company says that its the first crossbow to combine a lightweight CarbonLite Riser with reverse draw technology—features that allow it to reduce vibration and noise without sacrificing speed or accuracy.

Barnett has moved the new model's center of gravity closer to the shooter, reducing overall weight at the front of the crossbow and allowing for steadier and more accurate shots.

The Vengeance is available in either matte black or camo, and will come as a complete package, alongside a quick detach quiver, three 20" arrows and the consumer's choice of either a Premium Red Dot Scope or a 4x32 Multi-Reticle Scope.

Technical Specifications:
Speed: 365 fps
Draw Weight: 165 lbs.
Power Stroke: 18"
