What Makes TenPoint Crossbows Superior To Other Brands?
In each of the 18 years TenPoint has been manufacturing crossbows, we have never failed to introduce innovations or to improve our products. And, in most cases, the advancements we have made originated from customer input. Since 1994, we have secured 19 patents with another 20 pending or being filed.
No other crossbow manufacturer comes close to this record of technological achievement.
Below are some of our more significant innovations:
Patented Trigger Technology
Patented DFI™
Patented ACUdraw™ Patented ACUdraw 50™
Patented GripSafety™
Riser & Limb-Pocket Technology
HP™ & MR™ Cam Stability Bushings
Barrel Technology
Patented Trigger Technology

All TenPoint Series and 6 Point Series crossbows are now equipped with one of our patented 3.5-pound machined PowerTouch™ triggers. Designed to match-up with the physical characteristics of the models that use them, the PowerTouch comes in three versions, the Deluxe, PowerTouch-10, and PowerTouch-6. All PowerTouch triggers contain MIM (Metal Injection Molded) action components and continue to rate as the finest crossbow triggers made today.
Patented DFI™ (Dry-Fire-Inhibitor)

In1996 TenPoint introduced the DFI, which prevents dry-firing our crossbows when no arrow is loaded on the flight deck. The addition of this technology to our entire crossbow lineup has virtually eliminated the potentially severe damage and/or injury that can be caused by a dry-fire.
Patented ACUdraw™
Patented ACUdraw 50™

TenPoint’s convenient and user-friendly cocking aids have made our models the crossbows of choice for those who cannot or do not wish to manually load today’s heavier draw weights. Compare TenPoint’s ACUdraw or ACUdraw 50 to other cocking aides available today. Lightweight and fully-integrated into the butt stock, they have no dangling parts. They load the crossbow consistently every time; and they auto-retract after each use.
Patented GripSafety™

Installed in the fore-grip of the top four TenPoint models with aluminum barrels, the GripSafety prevents pulling the trigger without first depressing and holding this secondary safety in place with your fore-grip thumb. It helps prevent potentially severe injury by keeping thumbs and fingers in proper position on the fore-grip and below the barrel's flight deck. Installed on a standard basis for right-handed shooters, left-handed installation is available at no charge when placing a new bow order.
Riser and Limb-Pocket Technology
Developed primarily through the
Computer Aided Drafting and
Design (CADD) process, all
TenPoint and 6 Point risers are
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
tested and designed for specific
crossbow model applications.
Made from 6061 T6 machined
aluminum, each riser design is
created to maximize the
efficiency of each limb system’s
total package.
HP™ & MR™ Cam Stability Bushings

TenPoint’s New Cam Stability Bushings, while simple in concept, perform several important functions. First, they provide an ultra-stable sleeve to support and stabilize the axles. Second, they help eliminate wheel lean when loading the crossbow. And, third, they help establish precise string tension on the barrel surface, to promote accurate arrow flight and to reduce serving wear.
Barrel Technology

The TenPoint Series’ ACRA-ANGLE™ and the 6 Point Series’ UL TriLoc™ barrels are the key to the unparalleled shooting accuracy of TenPoint crossbows. Both are designed to allow shooters to pull the bow string while their index fingers touch the side of the barrel; thereby guaranteeing accurate loading, which is essential to shooting accuracy. And, both of their arrow flight decks are machine finished for unsurpassed dimensional integrity, which insures accurate, repeatable arrow flight.
