Hyper Ghost 405 out of the box first shots (Wowza)

Mudslinger: Thanks for the information where you mentioned the arrow weight and the crossbow being crank compatible.

Does the stock have removable side covers to install the crank cocking device? On the Ghost 410, they snap into the side of the stock, one on each side. Barnett's website does not mention anything on either the 405 or the 425 crossbow as to being crank compatible.

Do you happen to know what the riser is made of (carbon, aluminum or an alloy)?

Looking at pictures and descriptions on Barnett's website: the 405 has 185 pound draw weight where as the 425 has 206 pound draw weight. Both crossbows have a 16.333 inch power stroke. Both list as having the same axle to axle measurement as 17.667 inch which will be in the uncocked position.

I am thinking the groove in the rail-stock has to be narrower than the Ghost 410 to support the smaller diameter arrow shaft. The outsert used to hold the point does not rest on the arrow groove of the rail-stock.

If you have an arrow with the 1/2 moon nock, check to see if it will fit the latch area. The crossbow does not have to be cocked to do this.

Thanks for the help.

All the best with the new crossbow.

The latch area is totally different to except the capture nock on the hyperflite arrows,or at least I think they are capture nocks. In the pics below the arrows with the white nocks are half moon,the orange nocks are the hyperflite nocks. I tried the half moon and they would not fit all the way in . As far as the side covers go,their is a button on the end of the butt stock when pushed the cover pops up but will not be able to close with the crank handle on. This cover would have to be modified to use with the crank handle left on. As a side note the hole that excepts the cocking device is about a half inch higher in the stock compared to my ghost 385 which should eliminate the downward pressure as one nears full draw which in return caused center serving separation....KT

Here is a pic of what it looks like under the side covers on the butt stock,notice at the bottom of the cut out in the stock it looks like what appears to be a built in spool catch to go with the crank cocking device,although I'm not positive .... KT
