“tenpoint”

As crossbow popularity advances like tumbleweed in the wind, so too does crossbow technology. Here is the author’s top picks for 2016.

TenPoint has a reputation for manufacturing high-end crossbows with high-end price tags. But at $1,800, the new Carbon Nitro RDX is pricey even for TenPoint. What hunters get is a crossbow that promises to be more powerful than any other model in the company’s lineup.

TenPoint engineers are continually pushing their limits to make a faster, more efficient crossbow. The Carbon Phantom RCX features a reversed cam, which increases the draw length and power stroke of the bow.

The new Shadow NXT is as narrow as any crossbow on the market and has all the qualities that make it a TenPoint, yet is competitively priced.
