The limbs of the R18 expand vertically instead of horizontally for an axle-to-axle height of just 1.3 inches when fully cocked or 4.1 inches uncocked. The 6-pound R18 features a detachable stock with an integrated removable quiver system, built-in cocking mechanism for an easy draw, anti-dry fire/auto safety and built in sling mounts.

Axe Crossbows AX440
Compact. Maneuverable. Stable. The new AX440 stands ready to fuel your quest for hunting success. At 30.5 inches long and less than 12 inches axle-to-axle (cocked), the weight of the 440 is centered over the shooter’s hand. The reason is its balanced shoot-through stock and riser design and reverse-limb system. This configuration empowers the most-efficient part of the split limb system from just 15 inches of power stroke to launch bolts at a blistering 440 feet per second. Unlike the one-piece aluminum rail concepts of conventional crossbow designs that rob speed, efficiency and bolt life, the stock of the AX440 is different. It eliminates the rail and utilizes dual carbon guide rods along the entire length of the stock. The Axe 440 crossbow kit includes the new Axe scope system with optimized reticle, a compact, side-mount quiver and three proprietary .166 Axe micro-diameter bolts. MSRP: $2,099.99
