Build
Killer Instinct builds crossbows with tremendous value in the market place. And the Swat XP falls squarely in this same class but better.
This crossbow, made in the USA, offers a very innovative design with a very slick military style that is sure to please any cross bowing fan.
Clearly, it’s quite a comfortable and compact model, with a proper hand placement that is not available on most bows. So, it’s ready to shoot as soon as you open the package, and no need to assemble anything.
The package it comes in has a quick-detach quiver, a good number of bolts for you to try it, and a fantastic scope sight that is extremely effective in helping you aim.
Unlike many others, this is a very powerful model, allowing the shooting of arrows at a high speed. It’s a devastating weapon for any hunter and one many would love to have.
Design
The Swat XP was first and foremost made for precision shooting, and the company has been able to pull it off exceptionally well.
Starting with the trademarked Accutac Barrel System, which considerably improves the bow’s broadhead accuracy, balance, and control in the users’ hands.
The 360-degree design helps improve the guidance system by reducing the cross-bolt oscillation, which in turn improves the trajectory of the bolts at high speeds regardless of the selection of broadhead.
The bolts themselves are a carbon fiber polymer design for better accuracy and maximum penetration.
Moreover, all the components, including the trigger, scopes, grips, and cams, have been placed on the very center of the bow’s compact frame to create a more balanced and centered unit; consequently, it is unlike the nose-heavy feel of standard bows.
This design allows you to feel more balanced and control when you shoulder the crossbow.
Overall Features
The right crossbow allows for a more comfortable hunting experience. It’s more than your skill; you must have an excellent companion to aid you in the hunt.
The Swat XP comes with some top-notch features that should be extremely helpful when hunting.
One of the top features of this bow is the dead silent kit, which includes string and limb suppressors. And a dead quiet crank which has an easy on and off attachment that creates zero noise when reloading.
Hunters work extremely hard to remain invisible, and the company understands this, which is why they have really put a lot of skill and effort into the kit.
The Lumix scope has a ballistic semi-circle that allows for better shooting visibility and top contrast in low visibility shooting. It has a 20-100 yard instant calibration reticle for improved targeting.
Moreover, it also comes with a trademark Broadhead Cage that has been placed at the end of the barrel, where it traps the bolt and broadhead within the riser for two impactful reasons. First, it improves safety and removes any mistakes of pushing a bolt off track.
