Source: missioncrossbows.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by archerybusiness.com. The Mission Crossbows manufacturer page confirmed the model as the SUB-1 XR and stated its core specs verbatim (Speed Up To 410 FPS, Physical Weight 7.6 LBS, Powerstroke 14.625", Length 30.5", Width axle-to-axle 9.1" cocked) along with the price "Starting at $ 2,299.00". The dated Archery Business review (June 25, 2021) explicitly identifies "Model: Sub-1 XR (Extended Range), Manufacturer: Mission Crossbows (a division of Mathews)" and supplies the published draw weight (250 pounds, 80% let-off) and 19-inch spec arrow length not listed on the manufacturer page, while corroborating the 410 fps speed, 30.5" length, 7.6 lb weight and 9.1" cocked width. Both pages confirm the base/basic package ships with a Hawke illuminated scope and a rope cocker, with the RSD (Removable Silent Draw) silent crank sold separately as an optional accessory — so scopeIncluded=true and the standard cocking device is a rope-sled.
