Killer Instinct has released a new kit centered around their Boss 405 crossbow. With a velocity over 400 fps, the Boss 405 is a true game-getter. Fully adjustable to match a variety of hunters' sizes, the six-position buttstock can shorten or extend overall length, while the X-Lok foregrip is also adjustable. To aid accuracy, the bow features a Micro-Lite aluminum barrel, which also eliminates excess weight. Finally, the bow sports a noise-reducing, integrated Dead Silent Kit.

Of course, it wouldn't be a crossbow kit if only the Boss 405 were included. The kit also ships with an illuminated LUMIX 4X32mm IR-W scope, three HYPR Lite bolts, a rope cocker, string suppressors, a three-bolt quiver and a stick of rail lube. For more information on this almost hunt-ready package (broadheads and skills not included), please visit killercrossbows.comMSRP: $349
