killer instinct furious 370 frt

Post by Tank640 »

My father in law just picked up a killer instinct furious 370 frt crossbow. I have never seen anything like it. Trigger tech already installed, lighted scope, movable stock to adjust to your arm length. Apparently made in Michigan. He asked me about it and I had no clue. Does anyone know anything about Furious?

Unless things have changed it is made in China, perhaps somewhat assembled in MI.

Looks like your father in law did pretty good.

For 2016 I see first place going to the $1800.00 Tenpoint and second going to the Stryker. The Killer Instinct Furious 370 FRT is now in 6th place. Still makes it a good buy if you put stock into what Field and Stream says.
When Killer Instinct first came to the ATA, most of their bows sucked. I will have to check them out in a couple of weeks when I go to the ATA.

Thanks for the information guys. I would say it was a sharp looking bow especially with the options. I loved the adjustment on the stock

My bad the ki 350 and the fang were literally the same bow except for the metal rail. In the review 2 years back it plainly says this . I figured the 370 followed the same path.does it look like the pse tac elite? Thats ar style

For a budget-wise wheeled bow, it's a good value IMO.

On a side note, in watching those KI videos of a bullpup TriggerTech with an auto-engaging safety and an integrated dry-fire mechanism, it just made me scratch my head...why didn't Excalibur get on board? The stock Excal triggers leave a lot to be desired and a distant competitor is offering better trigger technology in a bow priced at almost 1/2 of what Excalibur is charging for their flagship models. :roll:

IMHO it was a mistake for Excalibur not to go with the TriggerTech at least on their top of the range bows. If you want something to be the best it has to have the best components.
