The bow comes with a Talon Crossbow sling and cross premium arrow quiver with a three-arrow capacity, a rope-cocking device, and a premium-illuminated scope for the sighting of prey.

Design

The Ghost 410 has an ultra sweet design thanks to the Carbonlite Riser Technology: A proprietary offering by the manufacturer that leads to a shift of the bow’s balance point so it is away from the rise and it goes back to the shooter’s shoulder instead. In addition to the Carbonlite riser, a patented feature, this ultra light bow has a five to one safety factor giving the archer a bow that delivers an absolute balance between speed and bow weight. The riser ends up being an entire 43 percent lighter than other bow risers. If you opt for the bow with a mossy oak finish, you blend in perfectly with the woodland scenery, but the flat black bow also helps in camouflaging you well!

This bow has a flight track made of CNC machined aluminum. The 7/8” Picatinny Rail is also CNC machined. The limbs are composite laminated. The cable system and the Crosswire® string bring this flawless unit together. Another advantage with the package that comes with this crossbow is you end up getting a quiver that not only secures the arrows correctly but also has very little vibration.
