Page 7 - TenPoint Crossbows Nitro 505 EVO-X Reviews

First rate engineering and production, although the bow is quite heavy. The only issues: The bow is so powerful that it’s difficult to find a target that it will not shoot through. The scope is accurate and easy to use, but its optics are less than stellar. I recommend that you contract Leupold to build you a first rate crossbow scope.

The Nitro 505 is everything advertised. Super fast, well engineered and accurate.

All in best I’ve shot! Fast, accurate, decockimg is awesome!

My first crossbow and I decided to go with one of the best. Am impressed with the engineering, components and importantly speed with accuracy. The 505 is fantastic.

The new cocking mechanism is by far better than the old style. I like the rubber coated pistol grip. I am impressed with the cut outs in the front part of the stock where you hold the bow. Over all the bow feels well balanced to me.

The Nitro 505 imo is the top of the line crossbow on the market. I have shot 1” groups with mine at 100 yards with Custom arrows. The bow is Amazingly fast and hits like a freight train. Make sure you invest in the best targets on the market like the Bigshot Kinetic 650.

This thing is a dream to use. Easy to use easy to sight in and deadly accurate. I’ve always shot longbow and recurve but a shoulder injury ended that. An absolute best choice I could have made. Took three shots to sight it in and did a 2” group at 50 yds with the next three bolts. Super pleased in every way

Wow! Top notch Customer Service. After much research I purchased a Nitro 505, I being a old Archery Bow hunter had to cross over because of shoulder damage. Not having any experience and misunderstanding the procedure for cocking and decocking, I over cocked the Crossbow thereby I damaged the cocking system. My fault not TenPoints. I dealt both Michell and Sam both were professional and courteous, in repairing and replacing parts I had damaged. I fully was expecting to pay for whatever parts and labor it took to repair this awesome Nitro 505. Sam called me explaining what they did to replace the damage parts I had created, I asked Sam what I owed them for the repairs. Not only did they repair and replace what was need at no charge, they covered shipping both ways. This company and their employees are GREAT! Being a former business owner customer service along with great products are vital to the success of any business.
To all of you at TenPoint, Thank you and God Bless!

Shot this 505 with 125 gr. Feild pts 10 shots at 30 yards with a cronograph. Speed ranged from 78.8 to 71.4. Average was 474.8FPS . and the difference was only 7.4 FPS.
With 150 gr.feild pts. 10 shots at 30 yards. Shots ranged from 469.6 to 456 FPS average was 461FPS. but the difference was 13.6FPS. I thought that was high. Accuracy was ok but not as good as the CARBON RDX this bow replaced . Give it some more practice and I think the accuracy will get better but I was shooting off sandbags.I was alittle disappointed in the inconsistent speed but I'm not sure if thats normal or not. All in all I give it 4 stars. I guess speed comes with a price.

All around use for Hunting and target practice with my Grandson

The Nitro 505 is my 6th crossbow from Tenpoint and Im not sure I could improve on anything on this one . Thanks Tenpoint.

Nice crossbow , little pricey but worth the money but for a review ten point wants you to write a book

a very fast bow easy to load and easy to unload. It is a very good built bow

Bow is coming loose after a few shots. Accuracy is not consistent

VERY WELL MADE, YOU CAN TELL IT WAS WELL THOUGHT OUT BEFORE BUILDING. THIS CROSSBOW IS AMAZING FAST AND A PLEASURE TO SHOOT. THE COCKING AND DECOCKING IS SO EASY AND AT 76 YEARS OLD THAT IS A BIG PLUS FOR ME.

This purchase is my first Tenpoint and I’m very impressed with the 505. Very accurate and balanced perfect. Its silent and easy to cock and is perfect for someone that has a hard time with traditional rope methods. The faster speeds will help reduce string jump on whitetails. Bravo Tenpoint!!!!

It is a quality bow through and through. Solid...fast...smooth... everything a hunter could ask for. Put a Rangefinding scope on top and you can shoot targets at 100 yds like nothing!

Unbelievably fast, smooth cocking and de-cocking, easy set up, easy to handle. This is my second ten point crossbow and I will stick with them.

This is the most well-balanced crossbow I have ever had my hands on. This bow is very accurate and quiet and smooth. My friend tried mine and now he has one. Happy hunting . Outback Jack

Amazing crossbow, and smoking fast! Love the ACUslide crank system, so simple to use. Fit and finish is as expected from TenPoint as well. Accurate….doesn’t begin to describe this rig and let’s not forget the amazing warranty of its ever needed.

HOMERUN TenPoint!
