HyperGhost: Whats New From Barnett Crossbows At The ATA Show?

Breakthrough Small Diameter Crossbow Arrow and the New HyperGhost. New for 2019, Barnett launches the all-new Hyper™ series – Barnett’s fastest, hardest-hitting hunting crossbows ever. The HyperGhost 405 and the HyperGhost 425 harness Barnett’s newest technology and design to offer crossbow hunters the speed and power to take down big game.

The HyperGhost 405 features a new upgraded stock and Barnett’s patented step-through riser. The crossbow kit includes three HyperFlite™ arrows designed exclusively for use with Hyper™ Series crossbows. These .204″ small-diameter arrows hammer through deer, hogs, and other large game. Another patented addition: the Retractable Underarm Counter Balance Support (RUCS), hooks under the shooter’s arm to counteract the weight of the riser for a balanced, secure shot when shouldering the bow. The HyperGhost™ 405 features a monochromatic Mossy Oak® Treestand finish with skull detail delivers arrows at a blistering 405 feet-per-second speed.

The powerful HyperGhost™ 425 high-performance crossbow comes packaged with Barnett’s exclusive HyperFlite™ .204″ small diameter arrows. The combination of the HyperGhost™ 425’s unstoppable speed and power with the HyperFlite arrows means ultra-deep penetration and one-shot kills. The HyperGhost™ 425 features premium enhancements, including a 1.5-5×32 illuminated scope, CNC machined aluminum flight track, retractable counterbalance underarm support, Soft Lok™ floating bristle arrow retainer and anti-dry fire TriggerTech™ trigger.

Crossbow enthusiasts have long been deprived of quality, small diameter arrow options. There are very few models available, and most crossbows will only accept standard diameter arrows. Shooting anything smaller risks dry-firing and damaging the bow. Barnett is solving the small diameter dilemma with the new HyperFlight™, a world-class, small diameter arrow designed specifically for use with Barnett’s Hyper™ series crossbows.

Experienced crossbow owners have long wished for a smaller diameter arrow for increased accuracy and penetration. Small diameter arrows also perform better in windy conditions. Hunters facing the elements know that wind can affect the flight of large-diameter arrows more drastically than small-diameter arrows. Reduced diameter arrows have the ability to cut through the wind and maintain a more accurate course than a standard diameter.
Penetration is critical for hunting thick-skinned species such as hogs, javelina, and big game animals. The HyperFlite™ is designed to punch through the toughest surfaces, and it will increase success rates with accurate shots. The smaller diameter arrows encounters less resistance to penetrate deeper to vital organs and delivers a faster, cleaner kill. Hogs are especially tough, and larger arrows can stick and break right off at the skin. A blood trail that simply disappears because the arrow did not penetrate is not uncommon in the world of wild boar hunting. The Barnett HyperFlite™ arrow has .204 inch diameter, is 22-inches long, and has a straightness of .001 inches.
Crossbow shooters looking to step up their game will enjoy making the switch to the HyperFlite™, a more accurate, higher-penetrating arrow. The combination of consistency, speed, accuracy, and penetration makes the Hyper™ series crossbows and HyperFlite™ arrows a stand-alone winner in the crossbow market.
