Page 13 - TenPoint Crossbows Siege RS410 Reviews

Shot a Buck tonight, we've been watching this guy grow throughout the Spring and summer. He came in at 30 yds. Pulled the trigger, pitsh, WHACK, seen 16" bolt laying about 10 yds past him. He ran about 40 yds crashed into the briars.

An all around awesome crossbow! Very comfortable and fun to shoot very compact to use in blinds or just carry thru the woods. I have the Garmin Xero X1i scope on mine and have same hole accuracy. I shot a doe with it at 26 yards. The arrow went thru the deer and stuck in the ground 8 inches 25 yards behind where the deer was standing. Very accurate, compact, and powerful crossbow.
The only thing I think could be changed is the location of the safety. It's kind of in an awkward spot and you have to move you whole hand to take it off.

Overall a very impressive bow. A couple of characteristics I am disappointed in. Advertised as "easy" to cock. Not easy. Possible in a tree stand but difficult. If the cranking force could be cut in half it would be much more acceptable. Much heavier than a compound bow and much more difficult to quietly maneuver in a tree stand. If the bow is bumped at all on a branch during movement the arrow makes a fair amount of noise on the rail. All things to get used to versus a compound. Other than that, precise shot placement. Drilled a deer with it at 40 yards exactly where I aimed and with the speed it never flinched before the arrow arrived. The only unexpected disappointment is the cocking force required but other than that I'll adapt and I love it.

Excellent, powerful, accurate compact crossbow. It is a bit heavy. Although it may be a little complicated to operate, only the fact it did not come with a model specific manual has detracted from my happy use.

Overall speed and size of the crossbow is perfect for tree stand hunters. The bow is more difficult to shoot off handed than longer less heavy crossbows I have used so if a blind hunter use shooting stick.
The cocking and accu slide feature is amazing for its speed and ease of use but decocking seams to be 50:50 as often I have to shoot into a target to decock.
There is a set screw on the top of the accu slide, if that gets loose the safety will not stay froward.
Not long after getting the bow I found out the hard way that the Dry-fire-inhibitor does not prevent a dry-fire after blowing up my string and cable system.
The alpha nocks in the set of 6 arrows that come "free" with the bow are glued together. If you are wanting to install the Alpha-Brite lighted nocks it is very difficult to separate the alpha nock without breaking it. I lost 2 out of 6 arrows. You can buy a set of 3 arrows with lighted knocks include for about 80$.

I have never cross bow hunted before just rifle. This bow was simply amazing it is compact and worked perfectly. I dropped a doe at 70 yards I know that is a long shot but this bow took her out! Simple to use and the envy of all my friends who have manual load and are bigger and heavier. Thank you for making a great product!

This crossbow had all the features I wanted after researching a number of them from Ten Point, Wicked Ridge and a number of other companies. The price point on this bow was where i needed it to be and I was blown away by the features for that price. It is insanely accurate and a blast to shoot. Anyone that is looking for a bow that has all the features, is fast and accurate, and has the price to go with it, will love this cross bow.

Super accurate, super easy to use, love the safety features, really fast. 100% satisfied with my purchase

I really do love this crossbow and want to give it 5 stars. I have become more and more comfortable and am confident in the accuracy of this weapon. I know this is a small issue but for the amount of money spent on this perfectly engineered crossbow something as simple as lens caps that stay on the scope is an issue. I lost one while hunting and the other one is so loose I don't trust it. If I purchase new ones will they fit the same as the lens caps that came with it?

After waiting for many years, I finally jumped into the crossbow game. This is my first crossbow and I was hoping to buy once / cry once given the costs of these things. I am 52 years old and after years of using a regular compound bow, I found the issues with my shoulder and eyesight made it where I owed it to the animals I hunt and to myself to move into a crossbow. I researched for quite some time before finally deciding that this was probably the best bang for my dollars. The most critical feature to me was the ability to de-cock the crossbow without having to shoot it. I have witnessed first hand my buddies have to carry a small target in the truck just to be able to fire a cocked crossbow. I also did not like the idea of pulling up or lowering a cocked crossbow (even with no arrow in it) while in a treestand. I really wanted to see this crossbow before purchase, but I could not find one anywhere in the State of Georgia to go see in person.
My nearest Tenpoint dealer was 50 miles away and when I talked to him on the phone he said that these crossbows are impossible to get. So reluctantly, I ordered it sight unseen from another TenPoint dealer out of state. So when my RS410 arrived, I immediately went to shooting it but I had difficulty getting it sighted in. My first shot completely missed the target and I destroyed the first bolt even at a distance of only 10 yards. It was not sighted in even close. After multiple shots that seemed to have no grouping, I finally discovered the problem was a horrible mounting job of the scope. The screws in the rings were tightened all the way down on one side and the screws were loose in the other side. The scope was loose in the rings. After remounting the scope, using some loctite, and a torque wrench, I got the scope properly mounted and sighted in. This solved the issues. But then, I was sighted at 20 yards but could not get the scope dialed in at the 30 and 40 yard marks. After watching some videos, I figured out that my RS410 was shooting much faster than 410fps and this issue, while a good problem to have, could not be corrected. I was told by multiple people that I needed to replace the factory scope with a scope that had more speed adjustment in it. Instead, I tried a different approach by switching my field points from 100grs to 125grs to slow the bolt down. I wanted to be shooting a heavier arrow anyway.
This slowed the arrow down to exactly 425fps and I was able to set the scope dialed in at 425fps (the highest it will go). This fixed everything and I am shooting tight groups at 20, 30, 40, and 50 yards just by using the holdover points in the scope and they are dead on. I also think the arrows fly better with 125grs because I can consistently put them in the same hole in the target as the previous shot. Now that I have everything dialed in and adjusted, I absolutely love this crossbow and do not regret my purchase at all. Everyone I hunt with said I needed to get mechanical broad heads for hunting. But after seeing some of their issues with mechanical broad heads and the costs, I decided that shot placement is way more important than the broad head itself and I just don't need a broad head that opens to 2" that is prone to not opening or the increased cost. I wanted to keep it simple. After much research, I decided to go with Muzzy 3 blade Trocar 125gr broadheads for hunting. My only complaint so far with this crossbow is the fact that you have to use the Tenpoint arrows / nocks and they are just too expensive especially when the bolts go straight through an archery target and embed themselves so deep that you destroy the vanes trying to get it out. I have purchased several new archery targets now, but just not found the right target for these bolts. The power of this crossbow is absolutely incredible. I have to say that I am once again excited about archery season as the crossbow gives me a new level of confidence and precision that I had lost with my compound bow as I have gotten older and the ability to look through a scope instead of a peep sight is just night and day difference. Would I buy the Siege RS410 again if I had it to do over? Absolutely, I am convinced I made the right choice.

I love this bow. Well made comfortable extremely accurate. Surprisingly very easy to cock the bow

Unbelievable how compact, powerful and accurate this crossbow is. The dry fire safety is a terrific concept and well designed. The included scope with this crossbow is excellent and holds it’s zero perfectly.

The Seige is has very useful features that other cross bows should have. These include a built in crane mechanism for cocking and more important un- cocking . This crank mechanism is quite and easy to operate with a built in crank handle storage. The scope is well made and clear. At the front is a foot that keeps the cross bow off the ground when loading. I was unsure about the brush bolt holder but it really works well . The trigger has a long pull but its smooth. Its very compact . I just got back from Africa and I just packed it in My check luggage . The picatinny bar that the quiver mounts too needs to be alum not plastic . The quiver is only set up for mechanical broadheads it will not cover fix broadhead blades. The quiver should be relocated just 1" back more so the foot is on the ground and not the end of the quiver.

its a great bow compact, and shoots great. The only complaint i have is there is no hard case for this bow. how are you supposed to travel to your hunting spots or other states without a hard case. If you have to fly you cant take this bow. i would hope they are making one soon or they wont be selling many more.

Excellent bow. If I were to change anything it would be the extension on the end where the foot step through normally goes on a traditional crossbow. I would make it 3 inches longer. As it is, my broadhead extends past and comes into contact with the floor of my stand when I lean the bow in the corner. Other than that, she's perfect. Speed, power, accuracy, easy to cock and decock.....what more could you ask for in a very short compact crossbow?

Best crossbow I have ever owned. Fast and accurate. Also the compact design makes this crossbow perfect for small blinds or spaces.

Beat crossbow I have ever owned. Fast and accurate. Also the compact design makes this crossbow perfect for small blinds or spaces.

Well balanced. Easy to handle and very compact. Instructions are pretty clear.

Compact, fast, accurate, and very nice looking crossbow! So far, I love it!

I am very pleased so far with my Siege RS410. My only concern so far has been the cocking handle fell out once while I was walking home from my blind.
