COMPACT & MANEUVERABLE: At 27.75-inches long and 10-inches axle-to-axle (cocked), the weight of the AX405 crossbow is centered over the shooter’s hand by way of a balanced shoot-through stock and riser design and reverse limb system.

POWERFUL BOLT SPEED: This configuration empowers the most efficient part of the AX405 210-pound split limbs to deliver bolt speeds in excess of 400 feet-per-second, from just 13-inches of power stroke.

PROPRIETARY CAM SYSTEM: Links by cables that run parallel to each other eliminate cam-lean, limb torque and is further enhanced by an exclusive cable brace that engages the riser to aid in the limitation of flex away from the center of the crossbow.

UNMATCHED EFFICIENCY: Unlike the one-piece aluminum rail concepts of conventional crossbow designs that rob speed, efficiency and bolt life, the stock of the AX405 eliminates the rail and utilizes dual carbon guide rods along the length of the stock.

ENHANCED SPEED & ACCURACY: When combined with the shoot through riser and a roller rest on the bow’s front end, the features create a free-floating arrow system that mitigates contact, friction and torque along the arrow’s entire path.
