I love how simple it is to put together. I love the feel of it the scope n trigger are awesome. My only complaint is that the cocking rope is to short to reach the string i have to pull up on the string to get it to hook. Would have givin a 5 but because of the cocking rope i give a 4.
I bought it to shoot targets and you know it’s so small you can almost just take it anywhere. You wanna go probably even be good for you know people that have a criminal record for home defense. It’s a fun little crossbow!
Hunting with Barnett has been a good experience and would recommend for any one to use looking forward to maybe a new crossbow reviews Barnett will y'all send me stuff to make videos and reviews for y'all please
Got one the other day and finally had time to shoot. Shot good decent groups and about 5 yards. The only thing about it I don't like is that the bolts either fly into the target sideways or shoot great. The bolts that have a little 24 on the back soot the straightest for me.
I bought my raptor in 2024 just before Christmas and have taken two deer with it so far. It is a nail driver! I love the speed and power. I have noticed the string and cables on the raptor model take a beating so I be plan to replace mine every year. I made my own press in about 30 minutes with some lumber and bolts. I changed out cables and string in 15 minutes the first time. I expect it will be much quicker the next time. The photo shows my bow in the press I made in case anyone wants to copy/improve it. Overall the Hyper Raptor has been a great bow for me so far and Barnett support has been easy to deal with via email and friendly.

Amazing
This crossbow is amazing I've had it almost two years and I've harvested two deer with it so far. My dad has a Barnett and he says he loves it.

Met my expectations
I’m getting back into hunting after many years. A compound bow just was not going to work for me anymore so I decided to go with a crossbow. This crossbow had what I wanted at a great price point. The assembly was straight forward and I was able to sight it in relatively quickly. I have no plans to take a shot over 20 yds so that’s where I set it. I paired the headhunter arrow with the game crusher broad head and surprisingly the target impact was so close to the field point impact, it needed no adjustment. 3rd time out, I took a 7 point under ten yards from my ground blind. He Mule kicked, ran, and crashed about 20 yds away. You could say that I am satisfied with this crossbow.
