Killer Instinct has 9 minute assembly video on YouTube to help walk you through the process. There are 3 bolts that fasten the buttstock/crank assembly to the barrel assembly. Assembling the Fatal X is rather simple, and an added plus is all necessary Allen wrenches are included. The quiver mounting bracket will also need to be installed onto the full length picatinny rail. The Lumix 4X scope is in a box and will need to be mounted. The AR pistol grip and forearm are not on the barrel assembly and will need to be attached. The barrel and limb assembly are another piece. The buttstock assembly and Rapid Draw Crank are one unit. Opening the box, you will find there is some assembly required. When the big brown truck dropped the bow off, I was amazed at how small the box was it shipped in. The Fatal X with RDC ships with the Pro package that includes a 4X Lumix scope, a sled rope cocker, a quick detach quiver, three (3) 20″ inch Hyper bolts, field tips, and a tube of rail lube.įirst Impressions – Killer Instinct Fatal X Crossbow with RDC The overall length with the AR-style stock collapsed is 29.75″ while with the stock extended it is 31.50″. The Fatal X with RDC weighs in at 7.4 pounds. The Fatal X also utilizes moon style nocks, and Killer Instinct will be bringing out arrows equipped with lighted moon nocks later this year. This equates to 142 foot-pounds of kinetic energy. The Killer Instinct Fatal X with RDC is rated at 405 FPS (feet per second) with the factory supplied 390-grain arrows. Photo courtesy of Killer Instinct Crossbows Specifications – Killer Instinct Fatal X Crossbow with RDC It essentially has some of my favorite attributes of the Killer Instinct X-1 combined in a conventionally designed crossbow at a great price of $699.99. The Killer Instinct Fatal X shares the same ultra narrow 6.25″ axle-to-axle cocked and 9.75″ width uncocked as the Killer Instinct X-1. I am a fan of the X cam system because it has 50% let-off as well as the cams are synchronized to eliminate tuning.

The Fatal X shares the same X Cam system as the X-1 crossbow that I have been competing with at 3D archery events all summer. Killer Instinct Crossbows recently sent a Fatal X with the integral Rapid Draw Crank (RDC) to AllOutdoor to review. AllOutdoor Review: Killer Instinct Fatal X Crossbow with Rapid Draw Crank
