Demun tri strike - Barnett Demun Tri Strike Compact Crossbows

The Barnett Demun Tri Strike is a surprisingly capable tool for close-quarters use (God forbid) or small game hunting. For its size and power, it delivers serious performance in tight spaces where a full-sized crossbow would be impractical.

I saw a YouTube review criticizing the connected stock and foregrip, but I strongly disagree — in fact, I think it’s one of the best features. The way the stock flows into the foregrip allows you to hold it like a pistol while giving your wrist solid support, making the weapon feel much more stable and controlled during aiming and follow-up shots.

That said, reused bolts lose accuracy quickly. If you’re preparing for small game or defense, I highly recommend buying extra 2F bolts and using fresh ones for clean, reliable shots. I personally marked all my target practice bolts with a Sharpie so I never mistake them for the ones I keep loaded for serious use. Also Pure Beeswax to keep maintenance is a must found it did better than traditional bow sting brands for this particular weapon. I plan on keeping this in my truck as a backup to a 22lr when noise isn’t needed.
