Features
TenPoint Vapor RS470 Elite Crossbow Package is a significant improvement from its predecessor, and a range of high-tech characterizes it, all meant to improve its usability, performance, and comfort when handling. Some of the features that make it to stand out include;
ACUSlide
This is the first improvement that you will note in this crossbow. Its primary purpose is to enhance safety when cocking and de-cocking the bow. This is something that the hunting community was looking forward to for many years, and TenPoint delivered. ACUSlide includes an auto-gear brake system that ensures safe and silent cocking and de-cocking.
It works by preventing dry firing, thus ensuring your safety and that of other hunters. This will also put you at ease, knowing that you can remove your hand from the handle without the fear of the handle getting away from the spin uncontrollably.
Micro-Track Barrel
The other innovative feature in this crossbow is the micro-track barrel, which comes with two tracks, the inner and outer track, for secure handling. This feature is meant to support the crossbow and allow it to rest on the inner track, without coming into contact with the strings. This, in return, improves accuracy, and the crossbows strings lifespan.
Reverse Draw Performance
This feature ensures a smooth and balanced crossbow shooting experience. It helps in the generation of more speed at minimum weight. The reverse draw performance works by elongating the stroke, thus increasing the distance that the arrow nocks upon firing.
Note that the longer the string and the nock remain engaged, the higher the chances of hitting your target, and that is what you get from this feature.
High Speed
One of the critical aspects to consider when selecting a hunting crossbow is speed, and TenPoint has maintained its top position in this. You can count on this crossbow for high speed without putting in much weight or effort. It sends the bolt at 470 feet per second, which is quite helpful when hitting your target. It comes with an RX-7, which, when it rotates, increases the energy stored in the crossbow system, thus giving it a speed boost upon launching. This is also known as SLING-SHOT technology.
New S1 Trigger
Ideally, this is a 2-stage design trigger, which is meant to maximize consistency and accuracy. It entails a roller sear system, which boosts the efficiency of the crossbow. It works by giving you a crisp break after pulling the trigger, and this, in return, saves you from uncontrolled firing.
TEC-X- Stock
This feature helps in cutting down the overall weight of the crossbow, thus making it easier and more comfortable to handle. It features a sleek design for secure handling.
EVO-X Marksman scope
This is one of the primary features that make all the TenPoint crossbows to standout among its competitors.
