About Killer Instinct Crossbows
Founded in 2013 in Frankenmuth, Michigan, Killer Instinct Crossbows entered the crossbow market with a simple mission: deliver accurate, affordable, and dependable crossbows that outperform their price tag. In just over a decade, the company has grown from a startup challenger to one of the most recognized names in the crossbow industry.
What sets Killer Instinct apart is their relentless focus on innovation. Their patented Accutac Barrel System — an enclosed 360-degree barrel design — was a game-changer for broadhead accuracy, reducing bolt oscillation and giving hunters tighter groupings at any distance. Combined with their synchronized X-Cam system and zero-creep triggers, KI crossbows consistently punch above their weight class.
Today Killer Instinct operates from offices in Frankenmuth, Michigan and Windom, Minnesota, designing crossbows for every hunter — from the budget-minded beginner picking up a Lethal 405 to the seasoned veteran running a SWAT XP in the treestand. Their crossbows range from $239 to $1,200, proving that world-class performance doesn't require a world-class budget.

Killer Instinct Crossbow Reviews from Hunters
Hear what real hunters have to say about their Killer Instinct crossbows.
“Picked up the SWAT XP last season and I'm blown away by the accuracy. Groupings at 40 yards are tighter than my old compound. The Accutac barrel is the real deal — worth every penny.”
“The Fierce 405 is hands-down the best crossbow for the money. My first crossbow and it came with everything I needed right out of the box. Took a nice 8-point opening weekend.”
“Been shooting crossbows for 15 years and the Lethal 405 at $240 outperforms rigs I've paid three times as much for. Killer Instinct really nailed the value proposition here.”
