Steambow AR-Series AR-6 Compact Repeating Crossbow

The Steambow AR-Series AR-6 Compact represents the latest evolution of compact repeating crossbows. Building upon the success of the original AR-6 Compact, this updated generation introduces the modern Open Front design and Quick Detach platform, making maintenance, transport and limb changes faster and easier than ever before.

Weighing only approximately 800 grams, the AR-6 Compact is one of the lightest repeating crossbows available today. Its compact dimensions, low draw weight and proven magazine-fed design make it the perfect choice for shooters looking for speed, portability and versatility in a premium-quality crossbow platform.

Fast and Efficient 6-Shot Repeating System

At the heart of the AR-6 Compact is Steambow’s proven 6-shot repeating magazine system. Multiple bolts are instantly available, allowing rapid follow-up shots without manually loading a new bolt after every shot.

Combined with the efficient cocking mechanism, experienced shooters can achieve impressive firing speeds while maintaining excellent control and accuracy. The result is a unique shooting experience that clearly sets the AR-6 Compact apart from conventional pistol crossbows.

New Open Front Design

One of the most significant improvements of the latest AR-Series AR-6 Compact is its modern Open Front construction.

This redesigned front section provides easier access to the magazine and limb assembly, simplifies maintenance and allows for faster configuration changes. The Open Front design also improves overall modularity, making the platform even more versatile for shooters who enjoy customizing their equipment.

Owners of earlier AR-6 Compact models will immediately appreciate the increased accessibility and user-friendly design.

Equipped with the Quick Detach Platform

The new AR-Series AR-6 Compact features Steambow’s modern Quick Detach platform, allowing users to change limbs and configure the crossbow more quickly than previous generations.

This system significantly simplifies transport, storage and maintenance while enhancing compatibility with the expanding range of AR-Series accessories and upgrades.

Includes the New 35 lbs CQ Limb

The AR-6 Compact comes standard with the specially developed 35 lbs CQ limb, designed for fast shooting, easy cocking and excellent shooting comfort.

Its low draw weight makes the crossbow suitable for extended shooting sessions and allows users to achieve rapid firing sequences with minimal effort. The platform remains fully compatible with other AR-Series limbs for those seeking additional power or alternative configurations.

Fully Compatible with the AR-Series Ecosystem

The AR-Series AR-6 Compact is part of Steambow’s highly modular AR-Series platform.

This allows compatibility with a wide range of accessories and upgrades, including:

• AR-Series magazines
• Speedloaders
• Quick Detach components
• Red dot sights
• Picatinny accessories
• Alternative limbs
