The bow is 33.5 inches long, and offers a manageable draw weight of 150 pounds. When cocked, the Ranger X2 measures 16 inches axle-to-axle. 

 

The Ranger X2 is builton an aluminum riser fitted with 11-inch limbs and powered by speed enhancing cams and special string and cables with tunable yokes. The stock is lightweight and has built-insafety features to protect the shooter and the bow. The bow is also equippedwith TenPoint’s Dry-Fire-Inhibitor and 3.5-pound auto-engaging safety trigger.
