Rocky Mountain Introduces the RM405 and RM415 Crossbows
Rocky Mountain introduces the new-for-2020 RM405 and RM415 crossbow packages.
Built around the combination of a high-performance single-piece OD green stock and a rock-solid limb system, the new RM405 kit comes loaded at a lean 7.40lbs. With the total uncocked assembly measuring 18.5″ W X 35″ L, the performance-based system loads down a 200lb limb set to a narrow 14.5″ in the cocked position – sending crossbolts downrange at 405fps* with 139 ft-lbs. of kinetic energy.
Performance doesn’t just come by way of fast projectiles. The RM405 features a DFS Technology (DryFire Safety) that auto engages when the bow is cocked, dual string suppressors and limb dampeners to reduce bow noise, a large stirrup for easy cocking, and adjustable foregrip for a custom feel when shouldered. Each package also includes a red/blue Illuminated reticle 4X32 scope, rope cocking device, quick-detach three crossbolt side quiver, three PileDriver Carbon Express crossbolts with practice points and rail lubricant at just $299.99 MSRP.
Stepping up the game from the RM405, the new-for-2020 RM415 isn’t to be outdone. 215lb limbs send crossbolts downrange at a searing 415fps* with commanding accuracy and 146 ft-lbs of kinetic energy. Tied together by a premium set of strings, the energy-efficient eccentric system spans 14.5″ of power stroke, yet is easily cocked with a rope cocking device (provided with the kit) to effortlessly engage the integrated DFS Technology (Dry Fire Safety) trigger assembly.
Sitting atop the one-piece molded camouflage stock is an ultra-bright fog proof, shockproof, and water-resistant red/blue Illuminated 4X32 scope with a precision-etched multi-position reticle. At just 7.5lbs, it is both lightweight and maneuverable, measuring a compact 14.5″ W X 35″ L when fully cocked. A large stirrup, dual string suppressors and string dampeners round out the bow’s performance driven-features to provide additional ease-of-use and stealth whether at the range or on the hunt. The RM415’s Trail Ready to Hunt Kit includes a rope cocking device, quick-detach three crossbolt side quiver, three Carbon Express PileDriver crossbolts with practice points and rail lubricant. An integrated rail lube storage area, sling studs, and adjustable foregrip add to the bow’s already exceptional price-to-performance ratio.Â
