Steambow AR-Series B08 Tactical Crossbow

Compact. Versatile. Unexpectedly Capable.

At first glance, the Steambow AR-Series B08 Tactical Crossbow doesn’t look like anything else on the market...and that’s exactly the point.

Designed to run .68 caliber spherical projectiles, the B08 brings together the familiarity of AR-style ergonomics with the versatility of a repeating crossbow platform. Foam, nylon, paint, or pepper balls.  If it’s a .68 cal sphere, the B08 is built to send it downrange with smooth, repeatable performance.

This is a crossbow made for training, skill development, and controlled defensive applications, all in a compact, lightweight package that’s surprisingly capable.

Small Frame. Big Flexibility.

The B08 uses Steambow’s proven AR-Series repeating crossbow system, delivering fast follow-up shots without the slow reload cycle of traditional crossbows. At under 4 pounds, it’s easy to handle, quick to shoulder, and comfortable for extended training sessions.

Its real strength, however, is adaptability. The B08 was designed to accept a wide range of AR-Series components and Picatinny mounted accessories, allowing you to configure it exactly how you want; now or later.
