The battle line has been drawn and the ranks are forming. Do you want to be a part of the Cross army? If so, get the new Cross DOA or Hero and join the fight on 5-1-12.
“With today’s crossbow market being the most vertical segment of the outdoor industry, we are compelled to fill the largest void in the market and provide a premium high performance Dealer Only line of equipment that balances the entire industry,” BJ Wolf, brand manager for Cross Crossbows, says.

You will be well-armed with the DOA, featuring a best-in-class, first of its kind, shoot-through foot stirrup increasing the power stroke to a stellar 16″, producing speeds to 385 feet per second. The CarbonLite technology removes up to 43% of the weight from the front end so the center of gravity is moved back to the end of the stock. The DOA is comfortable and easy to shoulder all the way to your hunting location. The DOA, available in Carbon and Realtree APGâ„¢, features high-velocity Whiplash cams and the Crosswire® String and Cable system. You can always expect a smooth 3.5lb trigger pull thanks to Cross’s new ADF MIM trigger. This bow is truly a top performer and a favorite for the hunter looking for the highest level of performance and cutting edge design. The package is complete with a quiver, three arrows, rope-cocking device, illuminated scope and sling.
