Killer Instinct Crossbows has introduced the Lethal 405HD Crossbow. Featuring a newly redesigned stock that is shorter and more compact for easy maneuverability, the Lethal 405HD features new rubberized styling at all touchpoints, including its forearm, grip and cheek weld. As an added bonus, the rubberized nature of these contact points make them all feel warmer in cold weather.

“We wanted to design a dependable, tough and affordable crossbow that worked well for first time users or seasoned veterans,” said Jason Fuller of Killer Instinct. “We took all the guesswork out for the customer who needs everything in the box ready to go.”
