A crossbow for every home
Here at Ballista Archery we make complex things simple. Whether you just want to have fun with your friends or family, start hunting or bowfishing, you are in the right place. We make the experience, previously available only to professionals, accessible for everyone.
After all, not everyone will shoot a high draw weight compound bow or crossbow, but having a compact crossbow at home is fun, easy, and affordable. This led us to our motto: “A crossbow for every home.”

Breaking the laws of physics
Ballista BAT is the only crossbow in the world with a built-in self-retracting cord tensioner. Although the draw weight is 120-150 pounds, the cocking system is designed to make sure that the maximum force applied over the entire length of the stroke does not exceed 40 pounds. This revolutionary system is a game changer in the archery world. Besides, this little miracle of engineering fits in a regular backpack. And yet, you do not need to break the bank to own a BAT mini-crossbow, since it’s very affordable.
