Barnett Demun AccuStrike Pro

The new Demun line of miniature, “pistol-style” crossbows from Barnett are surprisingly potent given their extreme compactness, and the AccuStrike Pro is both the family’s most powerful and most feature-packed member.

Capable of firing the company’s customizable HyperBolt 7-3F bolts up to 210 f.p.s., the AccuStrike Pro is a recurve crossbow that measures just 20.5" long and 17.5" across the tips of its limbs, while weighing only 2 lbs., 5 ozs.

A break-action cocking mechanism greatly reduces the effort needed to draw the string back to the firing position, a flip-down foregrip gives the user flexibility regarding the positioning of his or her support hand and an included red/green reflex sight provides pin-point accuracy and an adjustable zero.

MSRP is set at $150. For more information, visit the company website here.
