A vertical grip or any AR style foregrip would work if the owner would like to customize the Fatal X as well. The Fatal X could easily be adapted to a tripod with a ball head mount for an extremely steady shooting position. I appreciate the full length rail under the barrel. I realize some do not have that luxury, so a decocking arrow would come into play. Rarely do I hunt away from my farm, so I shoot one of my targets on the way back into the house. The Fatal X does not have a decocking feature. Cocking the Fatal X is very easy with the RDC. The cocking process is more repeatable using a cocking device over the sled. I like to use a crank system on all my crossbows regardless of how easy they are to cock. The Rapid Draw Crank system is well thought out. I threw it on the Fatal X and it fit perfectly. A couple of years ago, I designed a grip for my AR that I really like and I happened to have a spare on my desk. I prefer a more vertical pistol grip that has a longer length of pull between the grip and the trigger. The pistol grip and buttstock can be changed out with after market components. The collapsible AR style buttstock and pistol grip will fit almost any shooter. When you shoulder the Fatal X for the first time, it feels like a slightly muzzle heavy AR-15. I love the ergonomics of the AR-15 platform. Photo courtesy of Killer Instinct Crossbows. 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″.

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.
