The length of pull measures 13.5 inches, which should be comfortable for most people. Getting the crossbow crocked and loaded is fast, and I can get it done in about a minute. The crank handle is comfortable, and while shooting in the rain, I still had a secure grip. I love the slick way the crank handle stows in the stock and how it extends to provide more leverage. The cocking mechanism is intuitive and smooth to operate. A look at the cocked width of the Tenpoint Flatline 460. The thing that makes this bow so special is its size, ergonomics, and ease of use. The speed and accuracy of the Flatline 460 are certainly noteworthy, but there are other fast and accurate crossbows on the market. Shots from 20, 30, 40, and 45 yards using the same hold. They all hit the same spot as field points. I shot the SEVR 1.5, Swhacker Levi Morgan, and Rage Hypodermic Crossbow NC broadheds into a 1.75 inch group at 50 yards. The drop from 20 to 45 yards is only 5 inches, with a practically flat trajectory from 20 to 40. I think it’s the ideal speed for a hunting crossbow because it’s fast enough to produce a lot of energy and a flat trajectory, yet not so fast that it sprays broadheads all over the target. I chronographed the Flatline 460 at 467 fps. Scott Einsmann An average group shot during accuracy testing. It shot a 2.75-inch group average with the smallest five-shot group being 2.1 inches. The new TenPoint Flatline 460 retained the refined build quality of the Nitro but improved the accuracy. That crossbow shot several 9-inch groups with SEVR broadheads during testing.
Last year the TenPoint Nitro 505 was scorching fast, but came up short in accuracy.
PARKER CROSSBOW GIVEAWAY MANUAL
We also took note of safety features, the nosiness of cocking mechanisms, and each crossbow’s manual of arms. We evaluated each crossbow for how easy and intuitive it was to cock and load. Accuracyįor every crossbow, each shooter shot three, three-shot groups at 50 yards from a lead sled. You’ll also see momentum calculated for each crossbow instead of kinetic energy because momentum provides a more accurate figure of an arrow’s lethality and ability to pass through an animal. For context, the bolt weight and momentum are also listed for each bow. Each crossbow was shot three times, and we averaged the speeds to give you the spec listed for each crossbow. We measured crossbow speed using a Labradar Doppler chronograph. How We Tested Crossbows A Labradar doppler chronograph was used to get an average speed for each crossbow. Best Recurve Crossbow: Excalibur TwinStrike TAC2.Best Value: Wicked Ridge Raider 400 De-Cock.So whether you want the flattest shooting crossbow or the most bang for your buck, you’ll be able to find the best crossbow for you. They’ve all been thoroughly tested and represent the latest in crossbow technology. In this review, you’ll find crossbows with speeds from 368 fps to 515 fps and posted prices from $550 to $4,000. This is refreshing after the speed race of last year, where two top crossbows surpassed the 500 fps mark, but struggled to shoot tight groups. The best crossbows of 2023 strike the right balance of speed and accuracy. I’ve tested crossbows that check a few of those boxes, but manufacturers have had a hard time building bows that check them all-until this year. It has to be accurate with field points and broadheads. A good crossbow needs to do a few things well: It must be easy to load and unload.
