The Hyper Raptor DC stands out in the Raptor™ lineup, featuring Barnett’s new and revolutionary Integrated Planetary De-Cocking System.

Additionally, it is designed to shoot the HyperFlite and standard moon-nock arrows, offering versatility to meet any hunter’s needs.

 

The Hyper Raptor DC has many advanced features to help hunters have successful shots in the field. The step-through riser, parabolic limbs, Infinity cams, and the Soft-Lok Bristle Retainer System work together to deliver superior accuracy with every shot. The pivoting limb pockets enhance durability, while the innovative Halo System eliminates cable crossing and cam lean, optimizing string travel for exceptional performance.

 

Fully equipped for the hunt, the Hyper Raptor DC complete package comes with a premium 2-7x36 Illuminated Scope, three 20-inch HyperFlite™ arrows, and a matching Premium Side-Mount Quiver. Best of all, the Hyper Raptor DC’s single bolt assembly comes mostly assembled and virtually ready to hunt straight out of the box.
