Once you have settled on TenPoint, the harder decision begins: the lineup runs from a $799 crank-cocked hunting crossbow to a $3,500 flagship, and the model names do little to tell you which one fits your blind, your shoulders or your budget. Most of the price difference comes from three things, which are speed, cocked width and the cocking system, and only some of them change what happens on a 30-yard shot at a deer.
I have reviewed seven TenPoint crossbows, and this page ranks all of them in one place so you can see where each one sits. Every price, rating and measurement here comes from the individual reviews. Speeds marked "measured" are my chronograph readings with 400- or 410-grain bolts; speeds marked "rated" are TenPoint's figures, and I say so each time.
It is written for hunters who already trust the brand and want the right model, and for upgraders deciding whether a flagship is worth it over the Titan X. If you are still choosing between brands, read the Ravin vs TenPoint comparison first.
How I Ranked the TenPoint Lineup
Every TenPoint here is a compound crossbow with a built-in crank, so the usual budget questions (rope or crank, can I cock it) mostly disappear. What separates the models is what you get as the price climbs. I ranked them on five things:
- Measured speed and energy. Chronograph readings where I took them, TenPoint's rating where I did not. Kinetic energy figures are labelled as rated or calculated.
- Cocked axle-to-axle width and overall length. These decide whether the crossbow swings freely in a blind, a saddle or a ladder stand.
- The cocking system. TenPoint uses four different systems, and they are not equal. The next section explains them.
- Accuracy and trigger. My 60- and 100-yard group notes and the trigger break from each review.
- Value for the hunting you actually do. A 515 FPS crossbow is wasted on a hunter who never shoots past 40 yards.
Each hands-on review followed the same chronograph, accuracy and cocking protocol, described in our testing methodology. Two picks, the Flatline 460 and the Phantom De-Cock, do not have my chronograph readings, so their speeds below are TenPoint's ratings.
TenPoint's Four Cocking Systems Explained
The cocking system is the most important difference inside the TenPoint lineup, and it is the one most buyers misunderstand. All four are cranks built into the stock, but only some can lower the string without firing.
| System | Found on | Cocks | De-cocks without firing | Felt effort (from my reviews) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ACUdraw De-Cock | Titan X De-Cock, Phantom De-Cock | Yes | Yes | About 5 lbs on the Titan X |
| ACUslide | Venom X, Flatline 460 | Yes | Yes | No manual effort across 45+ cycles on the Venom X |
| ACUslide MAXX | TX Ultra 26.5, TX Ultra 29.5, TRX Ultra | Yes | Yes | About 13 lbs on the 350 lb TX Ultra 29.5 |
| Standard ACUdraw | Wicked Ridge Commander 400 | Yes | No | Rated about 5 lbs |
De-cocking matters more than most buyers expect. If you cock at dawn and never take a shot, a crossbow without a de-cock crank has to be emptied by shooting a discharge bolt into a target. Every TenPoint-branded pick on this page avoids that. If you want to understand the job itself, our guide on how to de-cock a crossbow safely covers both methods.
The trade-off every TenPoint crank shares
Every TenPoint here has a draw weight of 190 to 360 lbs, so the crank is not optional. If it ever failed in the field, there is no realistic way to cock these crossbows by hand. My reviews logged 40 to 60 or more clean cycles on each model I tested, but you should learn the system at home and keep the rail clean, as the crossbow maintenance guide describes.
Best TenPoint Crossbow Overall: TRX Ultra
The TRX Ultra is the fastest crossbow I have tested and the highest-rated TenPoint on this site at 4.9/5. TenPoint rates it at 515 FPS, and my chronograph recorded 511–517 FPS across five shot strings with a 400-grain bolt. It also shot the tightest 100-yard groups I have recorded on any crossbow.
The reverse-draw Twin-Riser layout puts a 16.25-inch power stroke in a frame that cocks to 6 inches wide. The 8mm axles held cam timing through 60+ shots with no drift I could measure, and the TriggerTech trigger broke at a consistent 3.5 lbs across 20 sampled shots.
The costs are real. At $3,495–$3,515 it is the most expensive crossbow I have tested, it weighs 8.4 lbs, and the Twin-Riser limb assembly, strings and cables are TenPoint-specific parts, so repairs go through a dealer. If you rarely shoot past 60 yards, most of what you pay for goes unused.
- Chronograph testing measured 511–517 FPS across five shot strings with a 400-grain bolt, confirming TenPoint's 515 FPS factory claim within margin of error
- The reverse-draw Twin-Riser Technology platform produced the tightest 100-yard groups I've measured on any crossbow to date — TenPoint claims roughly 70% tighter groups than a comparable forward-draw flagship, and my side-by-side testing came close to that figure
- The 8mm Zero-Torsion axles held cam timing perfectly through 60+ test shots with zero measurable drift, something I couldn't say for several competitors at this price point
- At $3,495–$3,515, this is the most expensive crossbow I've ever tested, putting it firmly out of reach for the vast majority of hunters
- 360 lbs of draw weight is not hand-cocking territory under any circumstances — you are entirely dependent on the ACUslide MAXX system working correctly
- Replacement strings, cables, and the proprietary Twin-Riser limb assembly are TenPoint-specific parts, so field repairs away from a dealer are effectively impossible
Best TenPoint for Most Hunters: Titan X De-Cock
The Titan X De-Cock is the TenPoint I would hand most deer hunters. It is the lowest-priced TenPoint-branded crossbow on this page at $799–$899, and it measured 395–404 FPS with a 400-grain bolt against its 400 FPS rating. Once zeroed with the included Pro-View 400 lighted scope, my 60-yard groups stayed inside 2.5 inches.
The ACUdraw De-Cock crank brings 190 lbs of draw weight down to about 5 lbs of felt effort and lowers the string without firing. TenPoint lists 146 ft-lbs with a 400-grain arrow, which is plenty for deer at normal ranges.
What you give up for the price: it is 33 inches long and 9.75 inches cocked, so it is the bulkiest pick here, and in my decibel comparison it was noticeably louder than the dampened TX Ultra 26.5. The warranty covers limbs and cams for 5 years and the trigger mechanism for life.
- Chronograph testing measured 395–404 FPS across five shot strings with a 400-grain bolt, matching TenPoint's 400 FPS factory claim closely
- At $799.99 list, it packages integrated de-cocking, a lighted scope and a 400 FPS rating at a mid-tier price, and my testing found the value holds up
- The ACUdraw De-Cock system reduced felt cocking effort to roughly 5 lbs despite 190 lbs of true draw weight, and safely de-cocks without firing a bolt into a target
- At $799–$899, this sits above true budget crossbows like the Barnett Hyper Whitetail 410, though it delivers meaningfully more refined cocking technology in exchange
- 400 FPS is respectable but trails TenPoint's faster models like the TX Ultra 26.5 (410 FPS) and TRX Ultra (515 FPS)
- 9.75 inches cocked axle-to-axle is reasonably compact but not as narrow as TenPoint's dedicated compact models
Best Long-Range Value: TX Ultra 29.5
The TX Ultra 29.5 is the TenPoint I would buy if I wanted most of the TRX Ultra for about $1,000 less. It measured 456–463 FPS with a 410-grain bolt against a 460 FPS rating, and TenPoint lists 193 ft-lbs with that bolt. It held tight, repeatable 100-yard groups across my full testing window, and it scored 4.8/5, one step behind the TRX.
At 6.5 inches cocked it is narrower than the TX Ultra 26.5, despite the extra speed. ACUslide MAXX brought its 350 lb draw weight down to roughly 13 lbs of felt effort with no failures in my cocking and de-cocking cycles, and the EVO-X Marksman Elite scope held zero throughout.
The trade-offs are the $2,499–$2,599 price, 8 lbs of carry weight and a shot that was audibly louder than the dampened 26.5 in my decibel testing. Stick close to TenPoint's recommended bolt weight; lighter bolts cut energy noticeably.
- Chronograph testing measured 456–463 FPS with a 410-grain bolt, essentially matching TenPoint's 460 FPS factory rating with minimal shot-string spread
- At just 6.5 inches axle-to-axle cocked, my handling tests found this the most maneuverable flagship-speed crossbow I've reviewed, usable from a saddle or tight blind
- The forward-draw platform produced tight, repeatable 100-yard groups that held up across my full testing window
- At $2,499–$2,599, this is a premium investment that puts it well above mid-tier crossbows like the Titan X De-Cock
- 460 FPS is exceptional but still trails TenPoint's flagship TRX Ultra (515 FPS), which costs roughly $1,000 more
- 350 lbs of true draw weight means the ACUslide MAXX cocking system is mandatory, with no realistic manual backup
Lightest TenPoint: Venom X
At 6.9 lbs, the Venom X is the lightest ACUslide crossbow TenPoint has built and the lightest TenPoint on this page. In my full day of backcountry carry testing it was noticeably easier to carry than the heavier ACUslide models. At $999–$1,199, it is also the lowest-priced ACUslide model TenPoint sells.
It measured 385–394 FPS with a 400-grain bolt against a 390 FPS rating, and my 60-yard groups stayed inside 2.5 inches. The two-stage trigger broke at a consistent 3.5 lbs, and ACUslide removed all manual effort across 45+ cycles.
The lighter frame costs a little: I felt slightly more vibration at the shot than on the heavier flagships, and at 9.75 inches cocked it is as wide as the Titan X. It is the slowest crossbow in this lineup, though still in the speed range most deer hunters need.
- Chronograph testing measured 385–394 FPS across five shot strings with a 400-grain bolt, matching TenPoint's 390 FPS factory claim closely
- At 6.9 lbs, this is the lightest ACUslide-equipped crossbow TenPoint has ever built, and it was noticeably easier to carry across a full day of backcountry testing than heavier ACUslide models
- The two-stage, zero-creep trigger broke at a consistent 3.5 lbs with a roller sear system — premium trigger feel at a sub-$1,200 price point
- 390 FPS is respectable but noticeably behind TenPoint's faster ACUslide models like the TX Ultra 26.5 (410 FPS) and TRX Ultra (515 FPS)
- 215 lbs of draw weight means ACUslide is mandatory — there is no realistic manual cocking backup if the system were to fail in the field
- 13-inch uncocked to 9.75-inch cocked axle-to-axle is compact but not as narrow as TenPoint's dedicated compact models
Best Compact Forward-Draw: TX Ultra 26.5
The TX Ultra 26.5 is 26.5 inches long and 7 inches wide cocked, and in my handling drills from a saddle and a simulated ground blind it was among the most maneuverable crossbows I have shot. It measured 406–413 FPS with a 400-grain bolt against a 410 FPS rating.
Its built-in string dampening made it measurably quieter than TenPoint's non-dampened models in my testing, which is why it is the reference point the Titan X and TX Ultra 29.5 were compared against. The TriggerTech 3-lb trigger broke cleanly on every test shot.
The compact frame has a cost in energy. The 10.25-inch power stroke works out to about 149 ft-lbs with a 400-grain bolt at its rating (my calculation, not a measurement), and my 60-yard groups were slightly wider than on the longer flagships, at 2.5 inches. At $1,999–$2,199 it costs nearly as much as the faster 29.5.
- Chronograph testing measured 406–413 FPS across five shot strings with a 400-grain bolt, matching TenPoint's 410 FPS factory claim closely
- At just 7 inches axle-to-axle when cocked and 26.5 inches overall, this is among the most maneuverable crossbows I've shot from a saddle or a tight ground blind
- The TriggerTech Precision 3-lb Zero-Creep trigger broke cleanly and consistently across every test shot — rifle-grade for a crossbow at this price
- 410 FPS is fast but noticeably behind TenPoint's own flagship TRX Ultra (515 FPS) and TX Ultra 29.5 — you're trading top-end speed for compactness
- At $1,999–$2,199, this is still a serious investment, not a budget or entry-level purchase
- 220 lbs of draw weight means ACUslide MAXX is mandatory — there is no realistic hand-cocking backup if the system fails in the field
Best for Tight Blinds: Flatline 460
The Flatline 460 matches the TX Ultra 26.5's 26.5-inch length but uses a reverse-draw layout to fit a 13.5-inch power stroke. TenPoint rates it at 460 FPS and 193 ft-lbs with the included 410-grain bolt; I did not chronograph this one, so treat those as rated figures.
In my blind and ladder-stand handling drills, its 7.5-inch cocked width swung between blind windows without catching a limb. ACUslide cocks and de-cocks the 300 lb draw, and the S1 two-stage trigger broke cleanly at about 3.5 lbs.
The catch is bolts. It shoots TenPoint's 16-inch EVO-X CenterPunch16 bolts only, so standard 20- and 22-inch bolts will not carry over, and every spare is a TenPoint purchase. It costs $2,099–$2,299.
- Rated at 460 FPS and 193 ft-lbs with the included 410-grain bolt, from a crossbow only 26.5 inches long
- The 7.5-inch cocked width swung between blind windows in my handling drills without catching a limb on the fabric
- ACUslide cocks and de-cocks the 300-lb draw without a discharge target, and holds the handle if your hand slips
- At $2,099–$2,299 it is a premium purchase, priced well above mid-tier crossbows like the Titan X De-Cock
- The 16-inch bolt system ties you closely to TenPoint's own arrows; standard 20- and 22-inch bolts will not carry over
- At 7.5 lbs before scope, quiver and bolts, it is not a light crossbow for long walks
Best Value Reverse-Draw: Phantom De-Cock
The Phantom De-Cock brings the reverse-draw layout to $999–$1,099. It is 28.5 inches long, 8.4 inches wide cocked and 7.4 lbs, which TenPoint describes as its lightest reverse-draw crossbow. ACUdraw De-Cock lowers the string without firing.
TenPoint rates it at 400 FPS and 146 ft-lbs with the included 410-grain Pro Elite 400 arrow. Published chronograph tests averaged about 390 FPS, so expect real-world speed a little under the rating. I did not take my own chronograph readings for this model.
It is wider and slower than the Flatline 460, but it costs about half as much and shoots standard-length arrows. The warranty is a Limited Lifetime Operational Warranty, with an optional 5-year Elite Warranty.
- At 7.4 lbs and 28.5 inches overall, TenPoint describes it as its lightest reverse draw crossbow, and the short length suits blinds and tight spaces
- The ACUdraw De-Cock system provides a controlled way to lower the string without firing a bolt into a target
- TenPoint rates it at 400 FPS and 146 ft-lbs of kinetic energy with the included Pro Elite 400 carbon arrow (410 grains)
- At $999–$1,099, it sits well above entry-level packages such as the Barnett Hyper Whitetail 410
- Published chronograph tests put it at an average of about 390 FPS, slightly under the 400 FPS rating, so expect real-world speed to land a little below the headline figure
- The 400 FPS rating applies to a 410-grain arrow; TenPoint lists 380 FPS with the heavier 445-grain CenterPunch HPX

The second table shows the specs that decide how each one handles in the field.
| Model | Speed | Layout | Overall length | Cocked width | Power stroke | Cocking |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TRX Ultra | 511–517 FPS measured | Reverse-draw | Not listed | 6" | 16.25" | ACUslide MAXX |
| TX Ultra 29.5 | 456–463 FPS measured | Forward-draw | 29.5" | 6.5" | 13.5" | ACUslide MAXX |
| Flatline 460 | 460 FPS rated | Reverse-draw | 26.5" | 7.5" | 13.5" | ACUslide |
| TX Ultra 26.5 | 406–413 FPS measured | Forward-draw | 26.5" | 7" | 10.25" | ACUslide MAXX |
| Titan X De-Cock | 395–404 FPS measured | Forward-draw | 33" | 9.75" | 12" | ACUdraw De-Cock |
| Phantom De-Cock | 400 FPS rated | Reverse-draw | 28.5" | 8.4" | 16" | ACUdraw De-Cock |
| Venom X | 385–394 FPS measured | Forward-draw | 32.5" | 9.75" | 11.75" | ACUslide |
Two patterns stand out. Cocked width shrinks as the price rises, from 9.75 inches on the Titan X and Venom X to 6 inches on the TRX Ultra. And short length does not cost speed in this lineup: the 26.5-inch Flatline 460 is rated faster than the 33-inch Titan X.
Which TenPoint Crossbow Should You Buy?
Match the model to where and how far you hunt, not to the biggest FPS number you can afford.
- You hunt deer inside 50 yards and want the safest, simplest TenPoint: the Titan X De-Cock.
- You walk far to your stand: the Venom X, at 6.9 lbs.
- You hunt from a saddle or small ground blind and want standard bolts: the TX Ultra 26.5.
- You want the shortest fast TenPoint and accept proprietary bolts: the Flatline 460.
- You want reverse-draw balance for about $1,000: the Phantom De-Cock.
- You shoot past 50 yards and want the best speed per dollar in the lineup: the TX Ultra 29.5.
- You want the fastest, most accurate crossbow I have tested, whatever it costs: the TRX Ultra.
Who should skip each pick
| Pick | Skip it if |
|---|---|
| TRX Ultra | You rarely shoot past 60 yards, or 8.4 lbs is too heavy to carry |
| TX Ultra 29.5 | You want the quietest TenPoint, or your budget is under $2,500 |
| Flatline 460 | You want standard 20- or 22-inch bolts |
| TX Ultra 26.5 | You want the most energy for larger game at longer range |
| Titan X De-Cock | You hunt a tight blind, or noise matters a lot to you |
| Phantom De-Cock | You want measured speed at or above 400 FPS |
| Venom X | You want the narrowest cocked width or the most speed |
How much speed do you actually need?
For whitetails at typical bow ranges, any TenPoint here has enough speed and energy. Speed mostly buys a flatter trajectory and less sensitivity to range errors at 50 yards and beyond. The kinetic energy calculator shows the real difference at your bolt weight, and the bolt drop chart shows how much less a 460 FPS bolt drops than a 400 FPS one at your hunting distance.
The Budget Option: TenPoint's Wicked Ridge Line
If $799 is more than you want to spend, look at Wicked Ridge, which TenPoint sells as its lower-priced line and which shares its crank technology. Two Wicked Ridge models are worth comparing with the Titan X:
- The Wicked Ridge Invader M1 De-Cock ($769–$799) uses the same ACUdraw De-Cock crank and measured 384–393 FPS, about 10 FPS behind the Titan X, with 60-yard groups inside 2.75 inches. It scored 4.4/5.
- The Wicked Ridge Commander 400 ($559–$599) has a built-in standard ACUdraw rated at about 5 lbs of felt effort and a 400 FPS rating. Its crank cocks but does not de-cock, so you unload by shooting a discharge bolt into a target.
Our Wicked Ridge vs TenPoint comparison goes through what the extra money buys.
TenPoint vs Ravin: The Choice Most Buyers Face
Ravin is the brand most TenPoint shoppers cross-check, and the two flagship lineups compete closely. The differences are design and service, not quality:
- Cocking: TenPoint uses a crank on the stock; Ravin's integrated Silent Cocking and Versa-Draw systems bring felt effort to about 12 lbs without a crank handle.
- Width: Ravin's HeliCoil cams keep its crossbows very narrow; the Ravin R29X cocks to 6 inches and measured 444–454 FPS, close to the TX Ultra 29.5.
- Service: both brands use proprietary parts that go through their own dealers.
For a full side-by-side, read Ravin vs TenPoint, or see our ranking of the best Ravin crossbows.
Common Mistakes When Buying a TenPoint
- Paying for speed you will not use. The jump from the Titan X to the TRX Ultra is about 115 FPS and $2,700. If your shots are inside 40 yards, practice and bolt choice matter more.
- Assuming every crank de-cocks. TenPoint-branded models here all do, but the standard ACUdraw on the Wicked Ridge Commander 400 does not. Check the exact system name before buying.
- Ignoring bolt requirements. The Flatline 460 shoots 16-inch bolts only, and the TX Ultra 29.5 loses energy with bolts lighter than TenPoint recommends. Read the manual's length and minimum weight before buying spares; our guide on how to choose crossbow bolts explains the rules.
- Forgetting the crank is mandatory. With 190 to 360 lbs of draw weight, there is no hand-cocking backup. Practise cocking and de-cocking at home before the season.
- Buying width you do not need. A 6-inch cocked width matters in a saddle or small blind. From an open ladder stand, the Titan X's 9.75 inches is rarely a problem.
Before You Buy: A TenPoint Checklist
Run through this list with your shortlist of two or three models:
- Measure the space you hunt in. If a 33-inch crossbow swings freely, you do not need to pay for a 26.5-inch frame.
- Decide your maximum ethical range. If it is under 50 yards, the Titan X or Venom X covers it.
- Confirm the crank de-cocks, if you want to avoid discharge shots.
- Check the bolt length and minimum weight in the manual, and price a dozen spares.
- Weigh the crossbow with its scope and quiver against how far you walk.
- Compare warranty terms. The TRX Ultra, TX Ultra 26.5, Titan X and Venom X list 5 years on limbs and cams and lifetime on the trigger mechanism; the Flatline 460 and Phantom De-Cock list a Limited Lifetime Operational Warranty with an optional 5-year Elite Warranty.
- Check your state's equipment rules before the season with our crossbow hunting laws by state guide. It is a starting point, not legal advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best TenPoint crossbow?
The TRX Ultra, if budget is not a concern. It measured 511–517 FPS, shot the tightest 100-yard groups I have recorded and scored 4.9/5. For most deer hunters, the Titan X De-Cock at $799–$899 is the better buy.
What is the fastest TenPoint crossbow?
Of the TenPoint models I have reviewed, the TRX Ultra is the fastest. It is rated at 515 FPS and measured 511–517 FPS on my chronograph with a 400-grain bolt. The TX Ultra 29.5 is next, at 456–463 FPS with a 410-grain bolt.
What is the best TenPoint crossbow for deer hunting?
The Titan X De-Cock. It measured 395–404 FPS, grouped inside 2.5 inches at 60 yards and cocks with about 5 lbs of felt effort. That is more than enough for deer at normal crossbow ranges, at a mid-tier price.
What is the difference between ACUdraw and ACUslide?
Both are cranks built into the stock. On the models here, ACUdraw De-Cock and ACUslide both cock and de-cock without firing, while the standard ACUdraw only cocks. ACUslide MAXX is the version on the TX Ultra and TRX Ultra flagships.
Which TenPoint crossbow is the lightest?
The Venom X, at 6.9 lbs. TenPoint describes it as the lightest ACUslide crossbow it has built. The Phantom De-Cock is next at 7.4 lbs and is TenPoint's lightest reverse-draw model.
Is the TenPoint TRX Ultra worth it over the TX Ultra 29.5?
Only if you shoot at long range often. The TRX Ultra adds about 55 FPS and tighter 100-yard groups for about $1,000 more. Inside 60 yards, the TX Ultra 29.5's 456–463 FPS and 6.5-inch width cover almost every hunting situation.
What is the cheapest TenPoint crossbow?
Of the TenPoint-branded models I have reviewed, the Titan X De-Cock is the lowest-priced at $799–$899. TenPoint's Wicked Ridge line goes lower: the Commander 400 is $559–$599, but its crank does not de-cock.
Can you cock a TenPoint crossbow by hand?
Not realistically. These models carry 190 to 360 lbs of draw weight, so the built-in crank is mandatory. My reviews logged dozens of clean cycles on each, but learn the system at home and keep the rail clean.
What warranty does TenPoint offer?
It depends on the model. The TRX Ultra, TX Ultra 26.5, Titan X De-Cock and Venom X list 5 years on limbs and cams and lifetime on the trigger mechanism. The Flatline 460 and Phantom De-Cock list a Limited Lifetime Operational Warranty with an optional 5-year Elite Warranty.
Final Recommendation
For most deer hunters, the Titan X De-Cock is the TenPoint to buy: accurate, easy to cock, safe to de-cock and under $900. Spend up to the Venom X if weight matters, or to the TX Ultra 26.5 or Flatline 460 if your blind is tight. If you shoot long range, the TX Ultra 29.5 gives you most of the flagship for less, and the TRX Ultra is the fastest, most accurate crossbow I have tested.
