TenPoint continues to find more speed in its high-performance crossbows, and the new TRX 515 shoots arrows as fast as its name indicates. A new twin riser diminishes weight and reduces flex by 70 percent or more. The increased stability of the riser produces tight arrow groups at any range.

A Zero-Trac Barrel reduces overall weight and means no rail for loading or launching an arrow. The arrow has a specialized nock to lock it into the trigger mechanism, with the front end of the projectile sitting on ball bearings and locked in place with a brush.

The bow is deceivingly lightweight, compact, fast and accurate. The premium bow has a TriggerTech trigger with zero creep and breaks like glass. The trigger also features a Dry-Fire-Preventor (DFP) and trigger block safety. The TRX 515 measures 29 inches long and 6 inches wide when cocked, has reverse-draw limbs and a 16-inch powerstroke. The new ACUslide Maxx cocks or de-cocks the bow with 7.2 pounds of pressure.

• ACUslide MAXX cocking and de-cocking system

• 3-pack of EVO-X CenterPunch HPX Premium Carbon Crossbow Arrows
• Integrated String Stop System

• Bow hook
