We may be the National Rifle Association, but that doesn't mean that we (and our readers) don't love archery ... and Barnett has a new crossbow to love. It's called the XP405, and this new-for-2024 bow is a full-featured yet easily portable solution for avid hunters with an MSRP of $499, which means customers will probably be able to find it at dealers for less.
The XP405 features a compact, lightweight design and side-mount quiver that make transporting the XP405 a breeze. It only weighs 6.2 lbs., but it shoots arrows at 405 feet per second (fps) and produces 135 lbs. of kinetic energy for lethal downrange performance. But where it really shines is in its customizability. A five-position, quick-adjust buttstock suits both small- and large-frame hunters alike, enabling a customizable length-of-pull for a precision fit and ultimate accuracy.
The XP405, like all Barnett crossbows, is designed with hunter safety in mind without compromising performance. An ambidextrous safety, anti-dry-fire trigger and pass-through palm rest with finger reminders keep shooters’ fingers safe while also providing smooth execution shot after shot. The trigger comes equipped with Barnett’s proprietary TriggerTech with 3 lbs. Frictionless Release Technology. Three Picatinny rails are available to affix the accessories of your choice ... some of which come with the crossbow.
We mentioned how full-featured the XP405 is right out of the box; here are the details. The XP405 crossbow comes with a package of accessories, including two 20-inch Headhunter Arrows with 100-grain target points, a 4x32-mm illuminated red/green multi-reticle scope, side-mount three-arrow quiver, rope cocking device and string and lube wax. MSRP $499; BarnettCrossbows.com.
