Speed and safety highlight TenPoint’s new-for-2020 crossbows.
Speed is measured in feet per second, and the three crossbows featured by TenPoint at the annual Archery Trade Association trade show in Indianapolis all are 400 fps or more. Safety comes a revolutionary system for cocking and de-cocking (called Acuslide) with a two-state trigger system that has zero creep in the second stage (called S1).
TenPoint’s three new crossbows for 2020 has both features and more — the Vapor RS470, Vengent S440 and Viper S400.
