One often overlooked feature of TenPoint crossbows is scopes are factory mounted and pre-sighted before they’re shipped. While the Nitro 505s base model MSRP of $3,049.99 (moss green stock black scope) may seem steep compared to many other “base model” crossbows, there is something to be said about top-of-the-line components, workmanship, design, accuracy and function. The Nitro 505 crossbow hunting package includes an EVO-X Marksman Elite variable speed scope with external adjustment turrets, integral ACUslide cocking and de-cocking system, six EVO-X AlphaNock CenterPunch Premium carbon crossbow arrows (.001-inch straightness), an ambidextrous QD six-arrow quiver, and TenPoint’s integrated noise-dampening string stop system. Unlike a couple other de-cocking systems on the market, this easy cocking feature allows the operator to stop the process at any point without fear of damage, injury or losing control. The ACUslide provides consistently smooth and safe cocking and equally easy de-cocking by merely backwinding the integral handle. CONTACT: TenPoint’s proven, field-tested, proprietary ACUslide cocking mechanism requires only 5 pounds of force to operate - a fraction of the effort required on most other crossbows.OTHER FEATURES: Reverse draw cocking/de-cocking ACUslide mechanism six-arrow quiver with QD mount integrated noise-dampening string stop system.WEIGHT 7.9 pounds (without accessories).AXLE-TO-AXLE WIDTH: 6.5 inches when cocked 12 inches uncocked.LENGTH: 30.5 inches (without foot stirrup).SIGHTS: EVO-X Marksman Elite variable speed scope with integral level and external adjustment turrets.TRIGGER PULL: Two-stage, zero creep 3.5 pounds dry-fire inhibitor.ARROW SPEED: 505 fps (with 400-grain arrows).ARROW LENGTH: 20 inches, Alpha Nock only.DRAW WEIGHT: 300 pounds (5-pound cocking effort).MANUFACTURER: TenPoint Technologies, Inc.Featuring a wonderfully balanced reverse-draw platform, the Nitro 505 is equipped with a newly designed RX8 Cam System, a two-stage, zero-creep S1 Trigger that delivers a consistent and crisp 3.5-pound pull, plus one of the easiest cocking and de-cocking systems currently available. Having raised the bar with the world’s fastest crossbow, TenPoint is once again fully focused on the wants and needs of crossbow hunters worldwide. To go into the woods with anything less would be folly for them. Serious hunters want a crossbow that is well-made, dependable, weather-proof, exceptionally accurate and functionally reliable. The Nitro 505’s reverse-draw design is not all about bells and whistles as much as it is about form, function and accuracy, which count more in the hunter’s playbook than clever accessories and innovative perks. Having tested, used and reviewed TenPoint products for the better part of 20 years, I had nothing less than high expectations when my sample unit arrived. I might as well get right to the point: With an arrow speed of 505 fps and 227 foot-pounds of kinetic energy, the Nitro 505 is the fastest crossbow on the market and the most powerful crossbow ever built by TenPoint.
