Barnett is pleased to be the recipient of Field & Stream‘s “Best of the Best” award for its Buck Commander Extreme (BCX) crossbow.
“Winning Best of the Best for the BCX is a huge honor for us,” says David Barnett, Barnett Crossbows owner/designer. “We couldn’t be more proud of this bow. It not only stood up to the editors’ tests, but it excelled, as all of our crossbows do.”
Each year the editors at Field & Stream review new products and innovations and choose the top performing items for inclusion in the annual Best of The Best round-up. Field & Stream test-team members rigorously test each item during a process dubbed the “Field & Stream Torture Tests.” Products are shot, bent, driven, dropped, and generally abused. Anything that falters is immediately eliminated. Beyond surviving the torture tests, winning products are ultimately selected based on significance of the innovation, the quality of the design, and the value they bring to outdoorsmen. Selection criteria varies, depending upon the category, but all of the winning products share one characteristic: excellence in their field.
“Our staff spent the better part of the past year finding and testing the gear that will make readers’ time in the woods more productive and more fun,” says Slaton White, Deputy Editor of Field & Stream. “The winning products not only withstood our tough testing, but they stood head and shoulders above the rest displaying absolute excellence in their field. The Best of the Best is the highest honor Field & Steam bestows on gear and the winning products are the best of the year; worth your time, worth your money.”
A lightweight, compact speed demon, the BCX features a blazing speed of 365 fps with a 15-inch power stroke, 126 ft. pounds of kinetic energy, 19″ width and 6.9-pound weight.
The BCX stands out among other crossbows in its class for its superior balance and stability. Thanks to the ultra-light Carbonlite Riser Technology, the balance point is shifted away from the riser and back to the shoulder of the shooter, allowing for improved maneuverability and faster target acquisition. The patented shoot-through foot stirrup allows for more power with a more compact fit.
In addition to a fully extruded aluminum flight track, the BCX features the CROSSWIRE string and cable system, which blends Barnett’s fibers with the industry’s toughest serving materials, providing the shooter with the most stable and reliable string in the industry. As a result, shooters experience a faster, quieter and more precise shot. An Anti Dry Fire Trigger Safety System makes it even more reliable in all conditions. This Metal Injection Molded Trigger boasts a smooth 3.5 pull and contains the added safety precaution of the Anti-Dry-Fire feature, eliminating unintentional dry firing of your bow.
The BCX is available through retailers as a complete package with the crossbow, Barnett illuminated 3×32 multi reticle red/green dot sight, a quick-detach quiver and three high-quality Easton 20″ arrows.
