Small but mighty is the best way to describe TenPoint’s new Nitro X crossbow. At just 7 inches wide when cocked, the new Nitro X shoots 370-grain arrows at an impressive 440 fps, generating a deer-dropping 159 ft.-lbs. of kinetic energy and shocking downrange accuracy.

TenPoint Crossbows has introduced its new Carbon Phantom RCX. One of three new crossbow releases from the company for 2017, the Phantom RCX is meant to generate maximum efficiency by combining a newly-engineered reversed cam bow assembly with a new stock and carbon fiber barrel combination.

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.
