EK Archery Gen 2 Adder 180lb 7 Shot Springfields Edition
The EK Archery Cobra Adder is one of the most popular modern crossbows thanks to its unique 7-shot magazine, fast lever-action cocking system, and compact tactical design.
Our Springfields Edition is a premium specification based on the latest Gen 2 Adder platform — developed to meet demand for a ready-to-shoot high-power version with no need for aftermarket upgrades or parts fitting.
This is not a kit plus crossbow bundle. It is a complete 180lb edition, assembled and configured by Springfields, supplied as a finished product — with upgraded limbs, cocking arm, and trigger unit fitted as standard.
Fitted with 180lb Pro limbs, a reinforced, longer cocking arm for improved leverage, and an upgraded trigger unit, this version delivers faster bolt speeds, greater accuracy, and an enhanced shooting experience, while retaining the fast magazine system that made this crossbow so popular.
Supplied fully built, tuned, and ready to shoot with carbon bolts suitable for 180lb use.

A: No — this edition is supplied in 180lb specification only.
Q: Can I use other bolts with this crossbow?

Q: What is the advantage of this edition over a standard Adder?
A: The 180lb Pro limbs deliver significantly higher bolt speeds and energy.

Overall, it is a much more refined version of the Adder — and it is ready to shoot straight out of the box.
