TenPoint Releases 3 New Head-Turning Crossbows for 2023

For 2023, TenPoint introduces three exciting new crossbows to its lineup. 

1. Flatline 460™ and Flatline 460™ Oracle X™

TenPoint Crossbows continues its dominance in crossbow speed, accuracy, and shoot-ability with the fastest compact crossbow the world has ever seen – the NEW Flatline 460.

Designed to deliver elite performance from the smallest footprint possible, the Flatline shoots a blistering 460 feet-per-second, measures only 26.5” short, and is equipped with all-new Scope Struts that provide rock solid mounting for the included EVO-X® Marksman™ Elite Scope – delivering unrivaled durability and accuracy.

The Flatline 460 can also be equipped with the Burris® Oracle X™ Rangefinding Crossbow Scope which features a built-in laser rangefinder that is activated via the wireless remote. With the push of a single button, the Oracle X™ instantly ranges game up to 200-yards away.

“The Flatline 460 is designed for the hardcore hunter – the hunter who walks a little further, sits a little longer, and needs to make the most of that split second opportunity when it presents itself,” said Phil Bednar, CEO. “With its micro footprint – including shorter 16-inch arrows – it provides all the advantages of a low profile without sacrificing speed or accuracy.

At the heart of the Flatline’s speed and power is a patented reverse-draw bow assembly and 14-inch power stroke. By reversing the bow assembly and changing the riser mounting position, the string’s resting position is extended farther down the rail which creates a 47% longer power stroke than a forward draw crossbow measuring the same length. This increased power stroke provides many advantages over forward draw crossbows:

  • Generates top-end speeds that no forward draw crossbow can match
  • Generates more speed with less draw weight — creating a smoother, quieter shot, with less shock and vibration
  • Creates a longer nock-to-string engagement time during the shot — leading to greater accuracy

In addition, the center-mounted riser provides superior balance, eliminating the “nose heavy” feel of traditional crossbows and making it easier to hold steady, increasing the shooters accuracy.

The RX8-Cam™ system allows for maximum rotation to produce speeds of 460 feet-per-second with the included 400-grain arrow. The crossbow’s revolutionary Vector-Quad™ cable technology utilizes four cables instead of the traditional two which eliminates cam lean and generates straight-nock travel leading to same-hole down-range accuracy.

The 16-inch MICRO-TRAC™ barrel reduces string-to-barrel contact by 50% to provide increased accuracy and the longest string life in the industry – surpassing competitor crossbows by hundreds of shots.

The Flatline 460’s ultra-light, two-piece TEC-TACTICAL™ stock is built for comfort for shooters of all sizes and includes an adjustable butt plate that adjusts 1” to provide ideal fit.

To complete the compact footprint, the Flatline 460 uses shorter, 16-inch EVO-X® CenterPunch™ carbon arrows. The advantages of this arrow extend beyond its compact footprint in the quiver and lack of overhang on the crossbow – the shorter arrow provides a flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift at longer ranges as compared to a 20-inch arrow.

EVO-X CenterPunch 16 arrows weigh 400-grains and feature 17.5% FOC. Each arrow is inspected for straightness to within .001-inch and each package is weight matched to within 1-grain per arrow.

The NEW, longer dovetail (+1.5”) and NEW Scope Struts provide a rock-solid foundation for scope mounting – leading to enhanced durability and long-range accuracy — which is especially important with larger rangefinding optics such as the Oracle X™. The dual aluminum Scope Struts increase strength and rigidity by 80%. In addition, the dovetail allows for more scope adjustments, heavier scope options, and provides the strength of a full-length rail without the added weight.

Capable of precision down-range accuracy out to 100-yards, the included EVO-X® Marksman™ Elite Scope decorated in matching Veil Alpine™ camo is a 2-8X, variable speed scope compatible with crossbows shooting up to 500 FPS. The scope’s external Target Turrets provide easy windage and elevation adjustment and drive unmatched long-range accuracy.

Forget the days of “gap shooting” with multiple aim points and reticle patterns — the 2x-7x Oracle X™ scope displays the distance to your target and provides an exact aiming point factoring in the angle of your shot – leading to greater accuracy and more ethical shots at longer ranges than ever before. In addition, its reticle design allows for 20-yard aiming in the event of a battery failure. The Oracle X™ is backed by Burris’ “No Questions Asked” Forever Warranty.

The patented ACUslide™ Cocking and De-Cocking System features the Auto-Brake Gear System that separates TenPoint from all other de-cocking crossbows on the market. The patented Auto-Brake eliminates the potential of losing control during de-cocking which can lead to injury or costly bow damage. While cocking and de-cocking with the ACUslide, the user can remove their hand from the handle at any point, with no other action required — and the handle will stop in place. In addition, while most crossbow crank cocking devices require 15+ lbs. of force to operate, the ACUslide requires only 5 lbs. of force, making it easy for people of all ages and abilities to cock the crossbow.The Flatline 460 features the S1™ trigger. This 2-stage, zero-creep design features an advanced roller-sear system that delivers a consistent crisp, 3.5-pound pull. The trigger is equipped with a DFI (Dry-Fire-Inhibitor) and is fitted with a nylon-filament arrow retention brush that improves arrow grip and alignment to reduce noise and vibration. An integrated string stop system is also included to further reduce noise and vibration.

The Flatline 460 is equipped with our Sentry Bowhanger that allows you to easily hang your bow in the stand or protect your broadhead from dirt and grit in the ground blind.

A dovetail bubble level is also included to help eliminate “tilting/canting” of the crossbow — a critical factor in left/right accuracy.

2. Stealth 450™ and Stealth 450™ Oracle X™

TenPoint Crossbow Technologies launched their fastest forward draw crossbow ever – the NEW Stealth 450. Faster and more accurate at longer ranges, the Stealth 450 delivers speeds of 450 FPS (400-grain arrow) and features the industry best ACUslide™ silent cocking and safe de-cocking system. The ultra-compact crossbow measures a mere 6.5-inches wide, 33-inches long, and weighs 7.5 pounds.

Fueled by RX6-Cams™, the forward draw bow assembly is the difference maker for the Stealth 450. The innovative cam system generates incredible rotation to produce speeds of 450 feet-per-second. The crossbow’s revolutionary Vector-Quad™ cable technology utilizes four cables instead of the traditional two which eliminates cam lean and generates straight-nock travel leading to same-hole down-range accuracy.

The Stealth generates greater down-range accuracy thanks to the combination of its NEW Scope Struts and 100-yard EVO-X® Marksman™ Elite Scope. The dual Scope Struts, along with a NEW, longer dovetail (+1.5”) provide rock-solid stability for the heaviest of rangefinding or night vision scopes and exponential durability for the scope — ensuring the scope rail does not move if dropped during the hunt. The Scope Struts increase strength and rigidity by 80%.

There is also the option to equip the Stealth 450 with the Burris® Oracle X™ Rangefinding Crossbow Scope rather than the included EVO-X® Marksman™ Elite Scope. The Oracle X™ scope features a built-in laser rangefinder that is activated via the wireless remote. With the push of a single button, the Oracle X™ instantly ranges game up to 200-yards away.

“We are excited to team with Burris® on the NEW Stealth 450 Oracle X™,” said Phil Bednar, CEO. “The precision of this rangefinding scope allows hunters to be more accurate at longer ranges, and, in the end, we all want to maximize our effective, ethical killing range — the Stealth 450 Oracle X™ does just that.”

The EVO-X Marksman Elite Scope is a 2-8X scope, capable of precision down-range accuracy out to 100 yards. The variable speed design is compatible with crossbows shooting up to 500 FPS, the Marksman Elite scope features external Target Turrets for easy adjustment to windage and elevation (one click represents ½” MOA at 100-yards) for unmatched long-range accuracy. 

In addition, a rail-mounted bubble level allows you to identify and correct any “canting” of the crossbow, helping to eliminate left and right misses.

“The new Stealth 450 is the pinnacle of a high performance, premium forward draw crossbow. It is lightning fast, lightweight, well-balanced, and incredibly accurate at long ranges,” said Phil Bednar, TenPoint CEO. “In addition, the ACUslide system is the best cocking and de-cocking system on the market.”

The patented ACUslide™ Cocking and De-Cocking System features the Auto-Brake Gear System that separates TenPoint from all other de-cocking crossbows on the market. The patented Auto-Brake eliminates the potential of losing control during de-cocking which can lead to injury and costly bow damage. While cocking and de-cocking with the ACUslide, the user can remove their hand from the handle at any point, with no other action required – and the handle will stop in place. In addition, while most crossbow crank cocking devices require 15+ lbs. of force to operate, the ACUslide allows you to silently cock the crossbow with just 5 lbs. of force, making it easy to operate for people of all ages and abilities.

Like all TenPoint ACUslide crossbows, the Stealth 450 features the S1™ trigger. This 2-stage, zero-creep design features an advanced roller-sear system that delivers a consistent crisp, 3.5-pound pull. The trigger is equipped with a new DFI (Dry-Fire-Inhibitor) and is fitted with a nylon-filament arrow retention brush that improves arrow grip and alignment to reduce noise and vibration. An integrated string stop system is also included to further reduce noise and vibration.

The 19-inch MICRO-TRAC™ barrel reduces string-to-barrel contact by 50% to provide increased accuracy and the longest string life in the industry – surpassing competitor crossbows by hundreds of shots.

The stock is also compatible with TenPoint’s optional Raised Cheek Comb to ensure perfect alignment with today’s popular rangefinding optics, including the Oracle X.

The Stealth 450 is also equipped with the Sentry Bowhanger that allows the hunter to easily hang their bow in the stand and keeps the broadhead within the bows profile for use in a ground blind.

A dovetail bubble level is also included to help eliminate “tilting/canting” of the crossbow – a critical factor in left/right accuracy.

3. Viper 430™

TenPoint Crossbow Technologies recently launched their latest blistering fast crossbow with greater accuracy and safe de-cocking — the NEW Viper 430. A faster, narrower, more accurate version of the best-selling Viper S400 crossbow, the Viper 430 shoots 40 FPS faster with a 400-grain arrow than the previous Viper, measures almost an inch narrower at a sleek 6.5-inches narrow, and generates improved long-range accuracy out to 100 yards.

At the heart of the Viper’s blistering speed upgrade is an increased power stroke now measuring 13 inches and our RX6-Cam™ system, which generates incredible rotation to produce speeds of 430 feet-per-second with the included 400-grain arrow. The crossbow’s revolutionary Vector-Quad™ cable technology utilizes four cables instead of the traditional two, which eliminates cam lean and generates straight-nock travel leading to same-hole down-range accuracy.

The Viper 430 generates greater down-range accuracy thanks to the combination of its NEW Scope Struts and NEW RangeMaster® 100 Scope. The dual Scope Struts, along with a NEW, longer dovetail (+1.5”) provide rock-solid stability for the heaviest of rangefinding or night vision scopes and exponential durability for the scope, ensuring the scope rail does not move if dropped during the hunt. The dual aluminum Scope Struts increase strength and rigidity by 80%. In addition, the dovetail allows for more scope adjustments, heavier scope options, and provides the strength of a full-length rail without the added weight.

The NEW RangeMaster 100 takes our proven platform and adds a new reticle — offering aim points out to 100 yards. The 2-7 variable speed scope accommodates the fastest of crossbows shooting between 380-505 FPS. Its upgraded glass provides the shooter with improved image clarity and brightness, allowing for maximum long-range accuracy.

“From speed, to maneuverability, to accuracy, we have taken one of our best-selling crossbows to date and made it better in every sense,” said Phil Bednar, TenPoint CEO.  “With more speed and safe de-cocking at a better price than its competitors, the Viper 430 is set to dominate the narrow crossbow market.”

The patented ACUslide™ Cocking and De-Cocking System features the Auto-Brake Gear System that separates TenPoint from all other de-cocking crossbows on the market.  The patented Auto-Brake eliminates the potential of losing control during de-cocking which can lead to injury and costly bow damage. While cocking and de-cocking with the ACUslide, the user can remove their hand from the handle at any point, with no other action required — and the handle will stop in place. In addition, while most crossbow crank cocking devices require 15+ lbs. of force to operate, the ACUslide allows you to silently cock the crossbow with just 5 lbs. of force, making it easy to operate for people of all ages and abilities.
