With over 100 crossbow patents, TenPoint Crossbows has been at the forefront of cutting-edge crossbow design and innovation since its inception 1994. Featuring the fastest crossbow made, the Nitro 505, and the best affordable crossbow that can be decocked, the Raider 400 De-Cock, 2022 marks yet another year for the company in building the world’s best hunting crossbows.

TenPoint Nitro 505 XERO, Nitro 505 Oracle X, and Nitro 505

The Fastest Crossbow.

Featuring a perfectly balanced reverse-draw platform measuring 6.5-inches wide, the Nitro 505 shoots in excess of 505 feet-per-second and is also a decocking crossbow thanks to the de-cocking system dealers recommend most – the ACUslide cocking and de-cocking system.  

The Nitro 505 measures a compact 30.5-inches long and and is equipped with the Garmin Xero® X1i Rangefinding Scope, Burris Oracle X Rangefinding Scope, or the EVO-X Marksman Elite Scope.

Forget the days of gap shooting! The 3.5x Garmin Xero® X1i and 2.5-7x Burris Oracle X feature built-in laser range finders that generate a single, precise illuminated aim point automatically adjusted for both distance and angle – allowing you to see your target, unobstructed by reticle pattern, and leading to greater accuracy and more ethical shots.

TenPoint Havoc RS440 XERO and Havoc RS440

The Fastest Compact Crossbow.

When it comes to a short crossbow, the TenPoint Havoc RS440 is the best crossbow in that category! Shooting at 440 feet-per-second from a platform that measures only 26.5-inches long, the Havoc RS440 measures a compact 30.5-inches long and redefines compact crossbow performance and provides safe de-cocking with the revolutionary ACUslide cocking and de-cocking system

The TenPoint Havoc RS440 features a patented reverse-draw bow assembly that draws the string through the riser, creating a 13.5-inch power stroke which generates greater speed with less draw weight.  The RX7-Cam system rotates an incredible 360-degrees to produce an actual speed of 440 feet-per-second, and, paired with the Vector-Quad cable system, generates straight nock travel leading to same-hole down-range accuracy. 

The Havoc RS440 is available with the Garmin Xero® X1i Rangefinding Scope or the EVO-X Marksman Elite Scope.

Forget the days of gap shooting! The 3.5x Garmin Xero® X1i features built-in laser range finders that generate a single, precise illuminated aim point automatically adjusted for both distance and angle – allowing you to see your target, unobstructed by reticle pattern, and leading to greater accuracy and more ethical shots.
