Barnett is kicking off 2026 with a host of introductions, including a new crossbow in one of its most popular families, as well as a whole new crossbow series.
To start off, Barnett has introduced the Hyper Raptor GTX designed to deliver a combination of next-generation technology, blistering speed and precision. It launches specialized 20-inch HyperFlite arrows at up to 425 fps, with performance elevated by Barnett's Halo System, which eliminates cable crossing and cam lean for superior accuracy. Meanwhile, Rope Hold Roller Ball technology ensures a smooth and even cocking draw every time.
Precision is paramount, achieved through the metal-injected molded TriggerTech Frictionless Release Technology. This technology provides a 3-pound break, Anti-Dry Fire (ADF), a nock sensor, CNC-machined aluminum flight track and a Soft-Lok Floating Bristle Arrow Retainer for pinpoint consistency. The crossbow's agility is unmatched, featuring a compact 7.5-inch axle-to-axle width (cocked), a lightweight composite step-through riser, and pivoting limb pockets that shift weight off the nose to reduce recoil and enhance stability.
The Hyper Raptor GTX incorporates a suite of comfort and customization features, including an adjustable length-of-pull buttstock, a pass-through fore-end with a Verti-Grip palm rest, a padded cheek rest, finger-safety reminders and pre-installed string dampeners for quiet, smooth shots. It is finished in 'Ranger Green' with Barnett's new 'Adapt' camouflage on the continuous fiber-molded, parabolic limbs.
The Hyper Raptor GTX arrives ready for the hunt. Each package includes a choice of premium optics: the Barnett 2-7x36mm illuminated scope, the Bukops X-Factor Laser Range Finder Scope or the Bukops Cycloptic-X Scope with Prime Time technology. Additionally, the package contains three 20-inch HyperFlite arrows, a sled-style rope cocking device, a premium three-arrow side-mount quiver and lubrication wax. Finally, the Hyper Raptor GTX's single-bolt assembly means minimal setup for maximum time in the field.
