LEDE Hyper Raptor T Rex

New for 2025, Barnett has introduced its Hyper Raptor T-Rex, transforming the hunting experience with an Integrated Planetary De-Cocking System. This system allows for effortless and convenient cocking and de-cocking without the hassle of manually cocking. Barnett’s all-new floating TriggerTech trigger adds to its performance, promising a smooth, highly responsive pull.

Sending HyperFlite arrows downrange at speeds of up to 440 FPS, the Hyper Raptor T-Rex us designed to be fast and accurate. This powerhouse is engineered for peak performance, featuring the Raptor Series custom step-through riser, parabolic limbs, Infinity cams, innovative Halo System, and the Soft-Lok Bristle Retainer System to deliver unparalleled speed and precision with every shot.

Barnett designed the Hyper Raptor T-Rex to be agile and versatile. Its lightweight, compact 8.2-pound frame and narrow 7.25-inch axle-to-axle width allow hunters to easily carry and navigate terrain.

The Hyper Raptor T-Rex comes fully equipped straight out of the box. Each package includes three 22-inch HyperFlite arrows, a 2-7x36mm illuminated multi-reticle, speed-dial scope with flip-up caps, a neoprene scope cover, a premium three-arrow side-mount quiver, lubrication wax and an integrated planetary gear cocking system with quick-detach crank handle. With its single-bolt assembly, the Hyper Raptor T-Rex comes mostly pre-assembled, allowing hunters to hit the fields with minimal setup.
