Description:
Here is Killer Instincts past few years of research into the best possible crossbow for under $1,000.
It’s a super compact bow at only 27 inches in length. This powerful beast shoots at 415 feet per second.
The way the bow is made gives the hunter good control and an easy-to-control system allows for this crossbow to be used by both avid hunters and hunters just starting out.
This KI bow boasts of the Accutac Barrel System for some great broadhead accuracy. What else makes the SWAT XP a bow to reckon with is the free floating string that hovers over the Accutac Barrel for improved shot accuracy.
High energy vibrations are created from the power stroke that uses the full length of the bow to produce optimal speed without loosing sight of superb balance.
The SWAT XP is an excellent choice for hunters using ground blinds or climbing trees to shoot from a tree stand as this lightweight bow gives hunters easy maneuverability and control.

Balance
This bow gives the shooter a great feeling of control. Since the bow utilizes the full length from head to butt, there is a high amount of power stroke and then also kinetic energy that’s produced for each shot.
The bullpup design was used to get that excellent center balance while still offering a super-compact frame.
Accuracy
Utilizing the Accutac Barrel System, this SWAT XP shoots broadheads with amazing accuracy. The enclosed 360-degree is revolutionary. The bow’s accuracy is as good as it gets for the price point it’s marked at.
This design offers the arrow proper guidance from set up to when it unleashes it’s 415 FPS shot.
Broadhead Cage
The Broadhead Cage, which comes standard with the AccuTac Barrel traps the bolt and broadhead from the rise to increase safety for hunters which is really important. This system helps eliminate common mistakes that happen in the field. This safety mechanism creates a safer ecosystem within the bow by not allowing the bolt to knock off track of the bow’s rail.
