The hunters' sunlight crossbow is an upgraded variant of the hunters' crossbow that requires level 66 Ranged and 50 Hunter to use. It is made with level 74 Fletching by using a sunlight antelope antler on the hunters' crossbow with a chisel in inventory.

The crossbow uses sunlight and moonlight antler bolts as ammunition. Despite being an upgrade from the hunter's crossbow, it cannot be used to fire kebbit nor long kebbit bolts.

As with other crossbows, the bolts fired from it roll against the enemy's heavy ranged defence, tying it with Karil's crossbow as the fastest firing weapons to do so.

Due to its quick attack speed, it can be very effective against monsters with low Defence, such as for many Slayer tasks, where accuracy is not as important.

Trivia

• The hunters' sunlight crossbow was originally proposed as the hunter's moonlight crossbow. As the name implies, it would have been crafted with a moonlight antelope antler. This was changed to use sunlight antelope antlers instead due to player feedback; the 91 Hunter requirement to hunt moonlight antelope was seen as disproportionately large compared to the weapon's power.
