First Look: Killer Instinct FanatiX 415 Crossbow

Killer Instinct Crossbows has introduced the FanatiX crossbow, featuring a patented, easy-to-draw synchronized X-Cam system that generates less noise and vibration then traditional crossbows. Ultra-narrow, the FanatiX measures 10.75 inches un-cocked and even a narrower 6.75-inches cocked making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

The new compact stock design boasts molded rubber touchpoints for comfort, especially in colder hunting conditions. The buttstock features adjustable travel that’s quiet and easy to operate, and the crossbow's micro aluminum barrel provides improved accuracy and shot precision.

“FanatiX is what happens when smart design and engineering meets customer input,” said Killer Instinct’s Jason Fuller. “We listened to feedback from crossbow users and created for them a compact, narrow, quiet and top-level crossbow package they will really enjoy.”

The Fanatix package includes three premium 20-inch 390-grain Hypr bolts with new V-Track nocks, a premium illuminated Lumix scope with a glass-etched reticle and a sled rope cocker, everything needed to start shooting. For more information, visit killerinstinctcrossbows.com.
