BARNETT HYPERTAC 420

The HyperTac 420 from Barnett is a fast, easy-to-cock bow with a lot of quality components, including a three-pound, frictionless TriggerTech trigger. Weighing less than eight pounds, the bow offers several adjustments for a proper fit and length of pull. Using Barnett’s small-diameter HyperFlite arrows, you can expect arrows speeds of up to 380 fps. The HyperTac 420 retails for less than US$800, coming complete with three arrows, a quiver and a 1.5-5x32mm illuminated scope—simply more great value for bowhunters on a budget.
