Trigger Tech Assembly
As we mentioned earlier most of the crossbow comes pre-assembled. All you need to do is attach the rail riser to the rail of the crossbow and connect the stock properly.
They will automatically click into place but just to be extra sure you should tighten them with a hex bolt. At last, you need to just attach the quiver and stirrup. The owner manual makes the setup super easy and it shouldn’t intimidate you. Honestly, there is nothing in the manual to be afraid of. Follow it and you will do just fine.
The crossbow comes with frictionless release technology. It creates a free-floating roller between the sear and the trigger. Resulting in a smoother and lighter trigger made out of stainless steel components.
The crossbow also comes with Nock sensors and anti-dry fire that gives you extra safety & supports a 3-pound zero creep release. It gives you extra confidence to make the shot.
Stock Limbs

Accessories
Let’s start with one of the main attractions the scope that comes with the Crossbow Scope–
Whitetail Hunter 2 comes with a 4×32 scope. Barnett uses this scope with their mid to upper-range crossbows. The main benefit of the scope is not that it’s free (which is an excellent thing) but the scope fits in the rail.
This means, you guessed it correctly you can change the scope with any scope you wish. But make sure it supports the same Picatinny rail.
Some people do not like the scope. Because when zoomed in the vision tends to blur. But it is the same scope that you find on many high-tier crossbows.
If you don’t have a scope already don’t hurry to buy a new one. You can use the scope that comes with the crossbow just fine. The focus and the lens were good enough for us to forgive the blurry edges when maxed out.
As we mentioned it supports any scope that sits on Picatinny rail. So, you always have an option to upgrade/change the scope when you want.
