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.

Crossbow bends nocks after a few shots, Barnett does nothing about it. Acts like everything is ok. These hypertacs are horribly designed. Stay away. Do yourself a favor. Don’t buy one.
