The fastest

Even More speed while
keeping the same size

Ballista BAT reverse is the revolutionary crossbow on the market. This is the world’s fastest reverse-draw Pistol Crossbow. The reverse-draw limbs and differently shaped cams lengthen the power stroke and increase the force acting on the bolt. This allows the crossbow to reach bolt velocity of up to 340 FPS, which regular compound crossbows can only dream about.

BAT vs BAT REVERSE crossbow

The most powerful Crossbow

The world's most powerful reverse-draw compound Pistol Crossbow

Ballista BAT is the world’s lightest crossbow with an arrow speed of up to 340 FPS. The unique design of the crossbow uses additional polistpasses of the sliderless cable system – the least amount of friction between parts among all crossbows. The minimum of plastic parts. The possibility of changing the position of the polistpasses provides for an algorithm for self-accelerating the crossbow above the nominal value.

THE MOST COMPACT CROSSBOW

Cutting-edge technology for an outstanding experience

The reverse limb system in the center of the rail significantly increases the power stroke and shifts the weight towards the archer. This improves the shooting experience (the crossbow does not dip forward when fired, there is no fatigue during aiming, no vibrations and recoil), and contributes to more accurate, powerful and quiet shots.

for the first time in crossbows

Innovative system of crossbow loading

The innovative system already used in the Bat also works flawlessly in the Bat reverse, making it easy for women and teenagers to load the crossbow. Just pull the handle and cock the crossbow. Only a few seconds and it’s ready to fire. The cocking system is designed to make sure that the maximum force applied over the entire length of the stroke does not exceed 50 pounds.

THE MOST COMPACT

FITS INTO A REGULAR BACKPACK

Ballista BAT Reverse crossbow does not need a special case. It is so compact that it fits into a regular 30 liter backpack that you probably already have at home. Unlike other crossbows, Ballista BAT Reverse will not stick out or hang from your backpack, creating a lot of inconvenience for you.

ready for BIG game

Little guy with big potential

Bat Reverse is compatible with absolutely any scope. Red dot, optical, analog, laser, night vision, thermal imaging… Compatibility with all sights is ensured by the Weaver/Picatinny rail mounted on the crossbow.
If you don’t know which scope to use, we recommend installing the Ballista Red dot. Unlike some cheap red dot scopes, Ballista Red dot is easy to set up and its settings do not change. In addition, there are safety covers to make sure your sight glass is safe.

ready for bowfishing

Ideal crossbow
for bowfishing

Ballista BAT Reverse Crossbow can be used for bow fishing by installing a regular spinning reel or a special bow fishing one.

To do this, you need to use the standard Bowfishing Reel Seat Mount which is installed on the front stop (bracket-stirrup).

But if you want the smoothest bowfishing experience, we suggest using reel bl 25 or bl 33, which can be found on our accessories page.

more fun

More fun with
crossbow magazine

One of the Ballista BAT Reverse configurations comes with a magazine. It holds up to six bolts, which are reloaded automatically and allow for a fast firing sequence. Immediately after cocking, the next bolt drops onto the rail and is ready for firing. As a special safety measure, the magazine locks after the last bolt and does not allow the crossbow to be cocked again. This not only lets the shooter know that the magazine is empty, but also prevents from unintentionally shooting without a bolt – dry firing.

Of course, the magazine also has an integrated Picatinny rail, which allows any scope or Red Dot to be mounted.

ready for anything

first crossbow in the world with a folding stock

The Ballista is the first crossbow in the world that can be equipped with a folding stock. The FAB-DEFENSE Cobra folding buttstock provides a quick deployment and flexibility of use.
