Page 4 - TenPoint Crossbows Nitro 505 EVO-X Reviews

I tried out one at a show I did at kygunco grand opening, had to get one of my own. Ive got many Tenpoints, this is my favorite model.

I've been pleased with a little on the heavy side but it's an awesome bow

Love this Crossbow, it’s quiet and very fast, was not able to use it for archery season this year due to a problem with the cocking gear inside the stock, it broke inside, luckily I have another Tenpoint crossbow I bought several years ago. My 505 has been repaired, looking forward to next season!

It's the best crossbow that I've owned to date. It's accurate, super fast, and well balanced.

I took delivery of my nitro 505 about a month ago and I have not hunted with it yet, but I will in the late Wisconsin archery season. The bow is really fast but one thing could be improved. I have noticed that the crank when fitted into the butt stock can be easily dislodged and lost so I have taken to just carrying the crank in my pocket rather than trust it on the bow. I also found the quiver that came with the bow was very difficult to store arrows in. The hard plastic or rubber material is not at all flexible and not sure how to carry arrows in it. Lastly, the owners manual, while very helpful, would be more helpful if the instructions were dummied down a little bit for those unfamiliar with crossbows.

Bow is good , accuracy is a problem ( arrows ) purchased the Oracle X scope and think the "instructions " need review

This bow is wicked fast and super accurate!! The De-cocking is awesome as well, no need to carry around a block in the back of my truck anymore.

This is a great crossbow. Compact and powerful. I like that the string and cables are not exposed when cocked. The cocking system is awesome.

Super fast , very accurate, simply the best crossbow ever!!

fastest crossbow ever ! Love it so far very accurate ,light ,draw system the best I have ever used and I have been crossbow bow hunting for 23 years ! my first ten point I bought 22 years ago (turbo extreme) and was still using it until today ! no comparison to anything I have ever shot ! About the only negative thing I can say is scope instruction's lack info on dial calibrations ,don't have info for inch's per click have to guess how many clicks it takes to get your zero . should come with allen wrench's to zero dials !,precession equipment needs precession information ! That being said I love this bow !

Great bow. Just sighted in and getting 6in groups at 100yrs. Might need to looking into custom arrows. But really love all the features on this bow.

Fast,accurate and an upgrade from competitors crossbow that I traded away.

Great bow shoots smooth ,very fast and accurate cocking decoding strap frayed within first 25 shots was fixed in 3 days

I can say without a doubt that the nitro 505 is an amazing piece of engineering. I bought a new xzero scope for my old recurve crossbow back in may. Right away I noticed the old crossbow could not measure up to the technology of the awesome new scope. I needed a crossbow to match the capabilities of the scope. Then I saw the tenpoint 505 with the same scope. Wow what a perfect match. The combination of speed, power, versatility. Nothing is perfect. I did have some problems setting up the scope and the weight of the crossbow is a bit more than I expected but I am over all pleased with my purchase.

My concerns are more of a system issue than a quality issue with the crossbow. The large diameter of the requisite bolts limits broad head options. The blades on some mechanicals start to deploy as you tighten the head into the insert because of the large diameter bolt. I am also seeing premature serving ware on the string where it captures the bolt nock(less than 40 shots). It is very accurate and blazing fast. I appreciate the cock/de-cock feature immensely. It is vastly superior to the other 500FPS crossbow I tried. Great Crossbow!

I just purchased this bow a month ago, I sighted it in as instructed. It’s so fast and accurate. My ten year old grandson can cock it with ease. I have harvested two does with it, they didn’t have a chance to flinch before the arrow was through them. My brother just went and bought one for himself. What sold me on the bow was the safety in cocking and uncocking system. The rest is an amazing bonus.

Fantastic. Great crossbow, great company. Already thinking I wouldn’t mind still using this during gun season. Beautifully accurate.

The 505 is everything it is advertised to be. Fast & accurate. Love the decocking & easy ro cock.

I purchased this bow a couple of months back now, I have to say it is an engineering master piece I have never experienced a bow with so much power and speed the build quality is second to none,with all of Tenpoint’s instructional videos gave me the confidence to load de-cock maintain and shoot my bow very safely this is my first tenpoint bow I own a Ravin r29 and several other but the nitro 505 outshines the rest with ease my first tenpoint purchase it won’t be the last absolute masterpiece of a bow.

CAN'T make a quicker & accurate crossbow, after purchasing a vengent s 440 2 years ago & how satisfied I was & impressed with it I couldn't wait to get my hands on a 505 nitro .. After checking out the competition & seeing it brought in for repair convinced me of which one to buy. After taking a nice buck opening day sure made a believer out of me.
