The Bowhunting.com crew got a sneak peek at the all new TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow last week before it launched to the public. We had the chance to meet with TenPoint staff, hear a presentation on the new bow, and then lay hands on it for some testing on the range. The Nitro XRT has a beefy look about it that puts off a stone-cold-killer appearance at first glance. Obviously looks don’t kill, so we gave it a closer look and found it to have some pretty slick features and performance to go with it as well.
TenPoint Nitro XRT
The Nitro XRT is fueled by RX7 cams and TenPoint’s Vector Quad 4 cable system that generate unprecedented power and nock-breaking accuracy. Its center-mounted riser eliminates the “nose-heavy” feel of traditional crossbows and produces what TenPoint calls the smoothest shot on the market. The silent ACUdraw Pro allows you to quickly and effortlessly draw the crossbow. It also features the EVO-X Marksman scope for precision shooting.
