There are a lot of advantages to hunting with a crossbow, even if you can’t use it during archery season in your state. With TenPoint’s new Nitro XRT shooting at 470 fps and delivering 190 ft lbs of energy, you’ll be able to bring down just about any game without the report clearing all the other animals out of the area.



Reverse Draw

The Nitro XRT is a reverse draw crossbow. That means that the cams are at the front of the bow and the riser is in the middle with the limbs closer to the shooter. One big advantage to a reverse draw setup is that the arrow is pushed all the way down the rail and TenPoint’s Slingshot technology pushes the arrow at its fastest right at the end of the stroke. The power stroke is 16.5 inches long.
