As long as hunters keep chasing whitetails, Barnett will keep equipping them with the best crossbows. The newest addition to our popular Whitetail Hunter® series, the Whitetail Hunter STR creates a compact, manageable profile that hunters of all sizes and skills can manage. Step-Through Riser (STR) technology reduces the length of the crossbow by integrating the foot stirrup directly into the riser. Combined with an overall weight of just 6.6 pounds, this crossbow hunts light and fast " 375 feet per second fast. The Whitetail Hunter STR comes ready-to-hunt with all the accessories you need and just one bolt required for assembly. Safety features include a TriggerTech trigger, anti-dry fire technology, finger safety reminders and a patented arrow retainer.
* Speed test using 380-grain arrow.
FREE $200 CUSTOM TRIGGER UPGRADE
The Frictionless Release Technology™ creates a free-floating roller between the sear and the trigger – offering a smoother, lighter trigger unlike anything else on the market. Nock sensors and anti-dry fire give you peace of mind for double the safety, and a three-pound, zero-creep release gives you confidence to make the shot. Once you go TriggerTech, you’ll never go back.
I was so surprised by this crossbow and it is the 4th Barnett I have owned. The balance is great and the light weight is wonderful! Tennis ball size groups out to 50 yards and unless you like buying bolts you had better not shoot twice at the same spot. Shooting Victory X-Bolts with brass inserts and 125gn heads this crossbow is quiet. The Step Through Riser is great for using the rope cocker to reload in my stand.
I purchased my STR in March 2024 and I’ve taken 2 deer the last 2 seasons with it. It hits in target every time. Small groupings out to 50 yards at the home range with the stock scope. In 2025 I did my first trip up north to Illinois with it and it performed as expected even in extreme cold and crawling through high grass fields in some spot-stalk. Nailed an old timer on day 5. I love the STR and look forward to my son using it eventually also.
I've owned my Str for 5 years now. Pin point accuracy and worth every penny. Deadly hunting weapon.

Excellent product. It hit the target right out of the box. I made minimal adjustments and had it dead on. My daughter claimed it for opening day.
Purchased this crossbow in 2022. Set it up to shoot Headhunter arrows with a total weight of 419 grains. This puts my speed at approximately 325 fps. and it has taken four buck in four seasons. Extremely accurate and completely reliable. All four deer had pass thru’s and all four expired under 100 yards. Going into my fifth season soon and did have all strings replaced several weeks ago. This is a great quality crossbow that is worth every penny.
I recently received my Barnett tee shirt and i love it great quality.
I bought this crossbow knowing I would love it. I have unboxed the crossbow and put it all together. Took it out and sent some bolts down range. Wow, 410 fps is fast, and QUIET. This is my 4th crossbow from Barnett.
I just purchased my first Barnett crossbow the Alpha 410 and purchased headhunter 20 arrows and I love how it shoots and feels its a tackdriver its a great bow for the money and I can't wait for Vermont archery season to start.
a nice addition for my arrows. However, the pushing in part was somewhat time consuming. A tight fit.
I have this crossbow, its an absolute blast , great and enjoy throwing bolts across my property and hunting with it

I've been shooting a ghost 350 made by y'all, for a long time and I upgraded and this thing is a beast it is so sleek little heavy I wish it was lighter but oh well it's very very maneuverable on my spot and stalk hunts, it shoots fast accurate very comfortable I love the adjustable stock the battery wears out quickly on the scope though
