2012 Vengeance

Personifying a steely resolve and determination, the new Barnett Vengeance crossbow is aptly named. The Barnett Vengeance represents a quantum leap in crossbow evolution. It is the first crossbow to combine a lightweight CarbonLite Riser with reverse draw technology. As a result, the Vengeance exhibits significantly less vibration and noise than a traditional draw crossbow without sacrificing speed or accuracy.
In this radical new reverse draw configuration, the limb pockets are moved closer to the trigger assembly and the limbs face forward on the bow, thus shifting the center of gravity closer to the shooter's body. This drastically reduces the weight at the front of the crossbow, which is essential for a well-balanced shot.

In addition, the Vengeance features a CarbonLite Riser assembly, which further reduces the weight without compromising strength or accuracy. The most technically advanced riser ever created for a crossbow, the CarbonLite Riser removes approximately 43% of weight from the riser, which dramatically shifts the balance point to the shoulder. The combination of the reverse draw design with the CarbonLite Riser allows the Vengeance to provide the steadiest and most accurate shot possible.

Decorated in a carbon fiber finish or in a high-definition camouflage, the Vengeance is available through retailers as a complete package with crossbow, quick detach quiver, three 22" arrows and an illuminated 3x32 Multi Reticle Scope.

Like all other Barnett Crossbows, the Vengeance is proudly made in the USA.

Specs:
Speed: 365 FPS
Kinetic Energy: 126 ft. lbs.
Draw Weight: 150 lbs.

In addition to the new Vengeance, Barnett has also added to its extensive line of premium crossbow accessories. With an existing full line of products that include soft cases, rope cocking devices and multi-tools, Barnett has focused on every detail to ensure your hunt leaves nothing to chance. Joining these other fine accessories for 2012, the Barnett Talon Crossbow Sling is designed specifically for Barnett Crossbows. The Talon, aptly named for its extreme grip, offers a superior non-slip surface to keep your crossbow in place even in less than perfect conditions. The Talon is adjustable from 32" to 40" and features a quick release buckle, allowing for quick and quiet attachment.

These impressive new products join a family of some of the most technologically advanced bows on the market: the Ghost 400, Buck Commander and Penetrator.

This crossbow features Barnett's proprietary Carbon Riser Technology and it is by far the lightest and strongest in its class.
