Barnett® Demun STORM™: A Compact Break-Action Crossbow Built for Recreational Shooting and Target Practice

Tarpon Springs, FL (June 23rd, 2026) – As the pioneer of break-action crossbows, Barnett® proudly introduces the Demun STORM™, the newest addition to the Demun™ Break-Action Compact Crossbow Series. Known for its lightweight and highly compact design, the Demun series is built for shooters who want portable performance and an exciting recreational shooting experience.

The Demun STORM is a compound handheld crossbow that blends Barnett’s modern crossbow innovation with a compact, easy-to-handle platform. Designed with fun, target practice, and recreational shooting in mind, the Demun STORM delivers an engaging and approachable shooting experience for enthusiasts of all skill levels.

At the heart of the Demun STORM is a patented two-stage break-action reloading mechanism that reduces cocking effort by 50 percent, making it fast and easy to reload between shots. The included quick-release D-TAC Butt Stock Extension further reduces cocking effort by an additional 25 percent, helping new and experienced shooters alike enjoy longer practice sessions with less fatigue.

Built for performance and precision, the Demun STORM features reinforced parabolic limbs, a Halo Riser, and a premium red/green micro-dot sight that help deliver consistent accuracy shot after shot. A flip-down tactical foregrip provides added stability and control, making it ideal for backyard target shooting, range practice, and skill development.

The Demun STORM launches Demun™ Carbon Hyperbolts at speeds up to 290 FPS, making it the fastest crossbow in the Demun handheld lineup while still maintaining the control and balance needed for recreational shooting.

Portability is a defining feature of the Demun STORM. Its SwitchLok™ 90-degree rotating riser allows the crossbow to fold into a slim, flat profile for easy storage and transportation. Whether heading to the range or storing it securely at home, this space-saving design makes the Demun STORM incredibly convenient to carry and store. A built-in retractable sling further enhances portability, offering grab-and-go convenience without unnecessary bulk.

The Demun Handheld Crossbow Series continues Barnett’s legacy of pushing the boundaries of crossbow innovation while creating products that are both exciting and accessible. With its combination of compact design, innovative engineering, and fast performance, the Demun STORM is built to bring a new level of excitement to recreational shooting and target practice.
