Command Performance

Barnett’s new Buck Commander® Droptine XT Compound and Revengeance Reverse Draw are the official crossbows of the Buckmen

TARPON SPRINGS, FL (July 28, 2017) – Nobody has more fun in the outdoors than Willie Robertson, Ryan Langerhans, Adam Laroche, Luke Bryan, Tombo Martin and Jason Aldean. For the group collectively known as the Buckmen, the quest to harvest the ever-elusive trophy whitetail is much more than a hobby; it's a lifestyle. Need proof? Tune into their hit show, Buck Commander, on Outdoor Channel or MyOutdoorTV.

The universal appeal of Buck Commander comes from the energy these guys produce through their endless antics, fierce competitiveness and unique abilities to entertain. The high-octane bunch keeps audiences rolling with laughter, as Buck Commander follows the Buckmen in all aspects of their lives – from their day jobs on stage or on the playing field, to their family life at home and, of course, into the woods. Because beneath all the drama and entertainment, these celebrities, athletes and performers are all driven by a common desire to bag the next braggin’ buck.

In the face of such fierce, interpersonal competition, the Buckmen don’t take any chances with their gear. They worked with Barnett – the pioneers of the modern hunting crossbow – to develop two new Buck Commander® Series crossbows that work and perform as hard as they do. The new Buck Commander® Droptine XT compound crossbow and Buck Commander® Revengeance reverse draw crossbow are the choice of the Buckmen. Read on, and learn why they’ll be your choice, too.

Barnett Buck Commander® Droptine XT Compound Crossbow

Like the Buckmen that lend it their name, the Buck Commander® Droptine XT is the loyal and reliable companion you want at your side during that magical time. When a trophy steps into view, the go-to Droptine XT is the crossbow that can be relied upon to feel good, shoot straight and always deliver results.

The Buck Commander® Droptine XT generates speeds up to 360 feet per second with a relatively modest 160-pound draw weight. Featuring easy one-bolt assembly, the Droptine XT is ready to hunt with an installed 4 x 32 scope, lightweight quiver and two Headhunter Arrows.

Shouldering, aiming and firing the Droptine XT feels as easy and satisfying as slapping a good buddy on the back. The pistol grip, thumbhole stock and pass-through foregrip make holding aim a comfortable proposition. And the trigger? It’s from TriggerTech, and it’s the finest available on any factory crossbow. Frictionless Release Technology employs a unique, free-floating roller between the trigger and sear, instilling confidence and boosting accuracy through an incredibly smooth and light three-pound pull with zero creep. Additionally, nock sensors and ADF (anti-dry fire) keep a spring-loaded safety bar in place until the arrow is properly seated, protecting the user and the bow from accidental dry fire.

The Buckmen know a thing or two about camouflage. That’s why the Droptine XT comes finished in Realtree Hardwoods® – a loyal camo pattern that’s as effective as it is versatile. It’s the perfect finishing touch on a dependable, made-in-the-USA performance bow that feels and shoots better than many bows costing twice as much.

Barnett Buck Commander® Revengeance Reverse Draw Crossbow

Featuring a draw weight of just 145 pounds, everything about Barnett’s sizzling new Buck Commander® Revengeance seems too good to be true… but it’s not. It’s an easy-cocking fast-shooting crossbow with crazy 400 feet-per-second speed in a compact and manageable reverse draw design that just feels natural in the hands. And the real treat comes when this incredibly well-balanced bow is shouldered. A fold-down vertical foregrip not only aids in safety by keeping the user’s fingers off the rail, it also enhances Revengeance’s performance by providing greatly increased control and stability.

The high-performance Buck Commander® Revengeance is equally impressive in just about every other category, too. It comes fully assembled and ready to hunt right out of the box, wearing a versatile 4 x 32 illuminated scope, side mount quiver with two Headhunter Arrows, and Realtree APG camo on its stock, limbs and even the riser.

Other Barnett quality and performance touches include a CNC machined aluminum flight track, self-adjusting Soft-Lok floating bristle arrow retainer, string dampeners and the best trigger in the industry. The new stainless steel TriggerTech trigger assembly on the Buck Commander® Revengeance and other Barnett models is a custom, three-pound trigger with zero creep for repeatable accuracy. Its Frictionless Release Technology places a free-floating roller between the sear and the trigger to create a smoother, lighter trigger unlike anything else on the market. Nock sensors and ADF (anti-dry fire) technology provide double the safety, virtually eliminating the possibility of injury or damage from accidental dry fire.
