The new compact AXE AX405 is a highly maneuverable crossbow measuring just 27.75 inches long and 10 inches axle-to-axle when cocked, with its weight centered over the shooter’s hand by way of a balanced shoot-through stock and riser design and reverse limb system. Its 220-pound split limbs deliver arrow speeds in excess of 400 fps, from just 13 inches of power stroke and a proprietary cam system is linked by cables that run parallel to each other, which eliminates 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. When combined, these features allow the string to move along the same plane throughout the entire power stroke. The AX405’s stock eliminates the rail, using dual carbon guide rods along the entire length of the stock. When combined with the shoot-through riser and a roller rest on the bow’s front end it creates a free-floating arrow system that mitigates contact, friction and torque along the arrow’s entire path, further enhancing efficiency, accuracy and speed output.

The AXE AX405 comes with an integrated crank with a cock/decock feature (photo above) and adjustable butt stock and cheek comb. MSRP: $1,499.99. Contact: www.feradyne.com
