The Barnett Demun Storm is a handheld compound crossbow built for hunters who want power in a package small enough to carry through thick cover or drop into a standard gun case. Barnett pioneered the break-action crossbow, and the Demun Storm carries that lineage into a pistol-format bow measuring 20.5 inches by 8.5 inches uncocked and weighing 3.3 pounds. With a 100-pound draw weight pushing bolts up to 290 FPS, this is a serious short-range hunting tool for whitetail and hogs, not a toy. Shooters comparing compact options in our crossbow lineup will find the Demun Storm sits at the maneuverable end of the range.
The centerpiece of the Demun Storm is the SwitchLok 90-degree rotating riser, which folds the bow flat for transport and locks back into firing position without tools. Barnett cut cocking effort with a two-stage break-action mechanism that reduces effort by 50 percent, and the quick-release D-TAC butt stock extension takes another 25 percent off. A 6.5-inch power stroke delivers 28 ft-lbs of kinetic energy, and the parabolic reinforced limbs feed CNC-machined cams for consistent bolt flight. The package ships with an adjustable red/green micro dot sight, a flip-down tactical foregrip, an auto-engage safety, and a floating bristle arrow retainer. The metal-injection-molded trigger holds a clean break shot after shot.
For deer hunting, the Demun Storm works best inside its effective range of 60 yards, where the 100-pound draw and 28 ft-lbs of energy carry enough punch for ethical shots on whitetail. Ground blind hunters and tree stand shooters benefit from the folding riser, since the flat profile clears cramped spaces and packs down for the walk in. It feeds Barnett Demun Carbon Hyperbolts and C10 Demun Hyperbolts. If you want to compare it against other Barnett Demun models or step up to a full-size rig, browse the rest of our crossbow selection and matching bolts.
The Demun Storm is rated up to 290 FPS per Barnett's manufacturer specifications, driven by a 100-pound draw weight and a 6.5-inch power stroke. That combination produces 28 ft-lbs of kinetic energy, enough for short-range deer hunting inside its 60-yard effective range.
Yes, within range. With 28 ft-lbs of kinetic energy and a 100-pound draw, the Demun Storm is capable of ethical whitetail and hog shots at close distances. Keep shots inside the 60-yard effective range and use quality broadheads on Demun Hyperbolts for best penetration.
The SwitchLok riser rotates 90 degrees, folding the bow into a flat profile that fits inside a standard gun case and clears tight spaces in ground blinds. It locks back into firing position without tools, so you can carry it compact and deploy it fast.
The Demun Storm is built for Barnett Demun Carbon Hyperbolts and C10 Demun Hyperbolts. These bolts are matched to the bow's power stroke and cam geometry, so sticking with the specified ammunition keeps velocity and accuracy consistent.
Barnett designed it around a two-stage break-action mechanism that reduces cocking effort by 50 percent. The quick-release D-TAC butt stock extension cuts effort another 25 percent, making this one of the easier compact crossbows to load by hand.
