TenPoint Viper 430 Crossbow

Had bow 4 days and got to shoot it 4 times to sight it in before it broke. The failure of the bow is one thing but the slow and lack of service from TenPoint is another. Took forever to get authorization to send bow back now I am told they will sit on it for 2 weeks before they even begin to look at it. With something so new with a new customer they should do better. In my opinion the bow should have been exchanged for a new one with no hassle at all. Very disappointed with paying such a high dollar for something and getting such poor service. I think the bow would be amazing if they would just do what is right.

The Viper S415 is a great shooting crossbow. I purchased this crossbow due to neck & shoulder injuries that caused me to be unable to use my compound bow any longer. The ability to cock & decock the bow, without any loose or externally mounted devices was my main reason for this choice. The Viper S415 has been amazingly easy to get sighted in & shoots all the way through my original Block target. I have been bow hunting for 40 plus years & have never seen anything that shoots like this crossbow does.

Very consistent and accurate bow. Took a while to get sited in but once it was it was hitting dead bullseyes out to 60 yards. Scope is really nice and love the acuslide

The Viper S415 is the 1st crossbow I ever purchased. I was given my father’s old Horton after he passed. I’d occasionally use it to hunt Whitetails in WV and OH. The Viper S415 is a completely different beast. The trigger breaks with no creep and the speed and accuracy are Impressive. The crossbow is worth every penny. The scope on the other hand not so much. I can’t get the elevation to adjust. Windage works fine. I’m planning on returning it for a replacement. In the meantime, I am fortunate that I have a red dot to mount that will get me through early season hunts. With that said, my range will likely be somewhat limited because of the substitution.

Great crossbow. Very accurate and fast. Really like the accu slide. Im loving it so far

Cross bow is accurate to 30 yards with stock arrows but struggles to maintain a group beyond 30 yards.

Everything has been great the only thing that has been an issue is while sighting in at 20 y is good 40y is good but at 60yards I am constantly five inches high but if I use my 50 yard indicator on the scope I am dead on can’t figure that one out!

Really like this crossbow. Super fast, low profile, easy to cock and decock. Just watch the official videos for the cock and decock instructions

Overall I like this crossbow (415S). It is well made and the accu-draw cocking works well most of the time and makes it easy to de-cock. I am in the habit of following the cocking instructions but have had a problem several times with the slide and braking system binding up after shooting. I have been able to work through this issue by backing the cranking knob manually to slide the cocking box down the rail. Hopefully this does not become a major problem. The bow is accurate and was easy to sight in. The bolt quiver is a little flimsy and would be better with two arrow anchor attachments instead of one. Overall I am satisfied.

Love the viper, just don’t like the scope. It’s really not hunter friendly the aim points for 20 and 30 yards are to small, especially for older hunters who’s eyesight isn’t what it used to be. I had to invest in another scope with larger aim points. Thinking maybe you should look into this issue, and would be willing to bet the younger generation of hunters would like larger aim points also. Tks for asking my opinion,
