Barnett Crossbows has announced its new Penetrator model, which is designed to offer top-of-the-line penetration and accuracy from a slim, low-profile design.

The shoot-through foot stirrup and power stroke of 12" produce speeds out to 350 fps. The step-through riser lengthens the power stroke of the bow, without placing the cocking string beyond arm's length. The design comes complete with Barnett's patented magnesium STR riser, a GAM (Gas Assist Mold) composite stock and Custom Composite Laminated Limbs.

Barnett's high-energy cam system and CROSSWIRE string and cable system allow the Penetrator to possess a faster and quieter shot.

Technical Specifications:

Velocity: 350 fps
Draw Weight: 175 lbs.
Energy: 116 FT-Pounds
Power Stroke: 12"
Weight: 8.6 lbs.
Length: 37"
Width: 24:
Arrow Length: 20"

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued?
