Crossbows on a BUDGET!!
I got three new bows here from Killer Instinct,
the Lethal 405 HD, the Temper X in the middle,
and then finally the Fanatics 415 to my right.
This is kind of your ultimate budget-friendly line
here from Killer Instinct, so we need to talk about it.
Hey, my name's Gavin here at Brookport Archery,
and today we have three of the new
Killer Instinct bows for 2025,
the Lethal 405 HD, the Temper X in the middle,
and then the Fanatics 415 on my right here.
I just wanted to do a quick intro over all these bows here
and show you guys a few things about them,
and then we will do a little bit more
in-depth video over them in the future,
taking them out to the range
and seeing how they shoot as well.
So we'll start here with the Lethal 405.
First of all, this bow's starting in at $250,
so this is gonna be a great budget-friendly option
for those of you guys who are just wanting
to get into archery here
and thinking about your first crossbow.
This bow's shooting 405 feet per second.
It has a brand new redesigned stock back here
with this new Lethal 405 HD.
You're getting the same scope on the Lethal 405
and then the Temper X here.
This is the Lumix 4x32 scope
with these little scope caps on here.
Shooting 405 feet per second.
It's 14 3 1⁄4 inches in width
when you cock the bow back,
and then it's 33 1⁄2 inches in length.
And then, so it's 7 1⁄2 pounds as well,
so it's pretty light, nothing crazy.
And then you're gonna get two of the 390 grain
premium Hyperbolts from Killer Instinct
as well as a quiver for the bow as well.
Now, you'll notice this one is mounted differently
than these two.
I just wanted to show you, you have the option to do that.
You can put it out in front here
or leave it a little bit more streamlined with the bow.
Just kind of personal preference.
So you'll notice all of these will come
with a rope sled here to manually cock the bow back.
However, all of these are compatible
with the crank system from Killer Instinct.
So if you wanted to, you could put
that external crank on here
rather than manually cocking the bow back
for all three of these.
All right, and then moving over
to the Temper X here in the middle.
Now, this one is starting in at $299.
So another really good option for those of you guys
wanting to get into archery here,
looking for your first bow without spending tons of money.
But this one here, the biggest difference is width and size.
So opposed to the 14 and I think I said half inches
in width here, axle to axle,
this one is six and three quarters axle to axle.
So it's a lot tighter width-wise
and then it's two inches shorter than this one here.
So it's 33 and a half inches in length
opposed to the 35 and a half inches in length.
You're getting the same Lumix 4x32 scope on here.
You're getting the same amount of bolts,
two of the 390 grain Hyper Bolts from Killer Instinct.
So very similar, but you're getting a little bit
more compact bow here with this new Temper X.
All right, and then finally the Fanatics 415 here.
This is a dealer only bow shooting 415 feet per second.
Like I mentioned, it's the same X-Cam system on here
as all of these here, starting in at $399.
So you're not jumping up too much in price,
but it's shooting 415 feet per second.
You're getting an upgraded scope on here.
This is the Lumix IRE scope, so illuminated reticle.
You can change the color to red or green
to kind of help you guys look through there
and if that helps you guys out.
And then also you're getting the built-in scope caps
on here as opposed to these removable ones
that you guys can kind of lose
and just a little bit better durability with these as well.
So another big thing is that this Fanatics 415
has an aluminum rail as opposed to the all-composite rail
on the Temper X and the Lethal 405 HD here.
So what that's doing is it kind of improves durability
and then improves accuracy quite a bit as well.
And then also big thing is the adjustable buttstock on here.
So you guys can move that and adjust it
to however is comfortable.
So the Fanatics here is very similar width-wise
to the Temper X.
So it's gonna be six and three quarters in width
when you cock the bow back, axle to axle,
35 inches in length, and then right around eight pounds.
And then if you guys didn't notice,
you're gonna get one extra arrow with the Fanatics
as opposed to the two, you're gonna get three,
and then also the quiver as well.
So you're going up in speed a little bit
with this Fanatics 415 here.
You're getting an upgraded scope,
you're getting the adjustable buttstock,
and then an additional arrow with this bow as well.
All right guys, so that is gonna wrap up this video.
We appreciate you watching.
I just wanted to show you guys a little bit better
budget-friendly options here from Killer Instinct
to show you guys that you don't have to spend
tons and tons of money to get into archery
and to getting to shooting some crossbows.
So if there's any bow in specific
that you guys want a little bit more information on,
maybe we can do a better video over that bow specifically
and take it out to the range
and see how it's shooting and stuff like that.
If not, you can give us a call at 574-773-0306.
We can give you a little bit better information
and talk to you one-on-one.
Or you can check them out at our website

So again, we appreciate you guys watching
and we will see you guys in the next video.
