TenPoint Nitro 505 Crossbow, Veil Alpine - 505 FPS - Equipped with 100-Yard EVO-X Marksman Elite Scope, Scope Struts + ACUslide Cocking & De-Cocking System - Reverse-Draw Design

It was packaged well and was already to shoot

This is everything they say it is. Only took 6 shots to zero at 25 yards. I thought my crank handle was defective because it would only extend half the distance so I contacted tenpoint and let me just say how refreshing it was to contact a company customer service and actually speak to an American speaking English she was very courteous I explained my issue and she said that they changed the handle to only extend that distance now and I informed her that I was fine with that it didn't really need to extend any further as I was having no issue cranking it and I thanked her for her quick response. Absolutely love this crossbow I got it at the end of archery season so I only got to hunt with it a few days and didn't get a shot but there's always next year and it gives me all year too hone my skills if you want the Best Buy this bow one other thing I'll say is it is a heavy bow but it's very well balanced that being said I can see myself using the shoulder strap to Lug it back and forth to the blind or the tree stand it does come with a level for the Bubble Level for the scope you mount that underneath the scope it didn't come with any kind of direction to where you mount it so I just kind of figured it out made sense. I got the one with the speed scope so I can't attest to the Garmin or the Burris but I do like the speed scope and I have a rangefinder so I didn't see the need I hope this review helps you if I can answer any questions feel free to ask

Cocking mechanism in handle snapped off inside after only a few uses. For 3k I sure would expect something far better. Good thing I had a spare crossbow or my season would have been over.

This is an amazing bow and shoots like a rifle. The marksman elite scope has quality optics and tunes perfectly with the evo-x center punch bolts. Very accurate and easy to tune sighting in.

Very impressed with the speed of this I practiced at 60 yards after tune in shoots like a rocket. The quiver lock could use some attention bolt don’t seem to stay tight possibly a lock nut would help it

Speed and accuracy are awesome - 3” groups at 100 yards on day 1 - so I was disappointed at having to return it. The problem was the Accuslide did not function as described from the moment I received it. I contacted Ten Point customer service the next day. They sent me “ better” instructions. I followed them and it still didn’t work. I called them and they told me I would need to get it to one of their repair shops and that I’d need to pay for labor but they would supply parts! It was 2 days old at that point! I had purchased it for a hunting trip and it arrived 3 days before the trip. Since it shot well I decided to go with it. Being a former compound bow hunter for 18 years I know silence is king for short range situations. This bow is LOUD. The stock seems hollow in spots and even your hand hitting against it makes significant noise. The plastic front hand guards are lightweight plastic and sound like a drum if anything hard or even your hand strikes them. The cocking mechanism mounts in the stock and wedges into place. I was worried it might fall out when going through brush. Sure enough, I found it hanging from the stock on day 2 and it lived in my bino case for the rest of the hunt. The scope has graduated black marks every 10 yards out to 100 yards. Ever try to see a black mark against a dark background in low light? There’s a battery activated option for the marks out to 60 yards, but even having a battery in the scope is illegal in the States I hunt in. Im sure the bow will work well in a tree stand with careful handling, but its hard to handle quietly for spot and stalk.

The best 505 fps
