Design

The TenPoint Nitro 505 is a reverse draw crossbow that is powered by the brand new RX8-Cam system. This cam system rotates an industry-leading 404 degrees!

The Nitro 505 is an extremely very well-balanced crossbow. It has a center-mounted riser so no nose-heavy feel and the foregrip gives you good control over the front.

TenPoint equipped the Nitro 505 with a Vector-Quad cable system, which means that it utilizes four cables instead of the standard two, this eliminates cam lean and generates straight nock travel.

The Nitro 505 has a 20-inch long aluminum Micro-Trac fluted barrel to guide the arrow. The barrel reduces the overall surface area by 50 percent, this decreases friction extends the life of the string, and generates straight-nock travel leading to same-hole downrange accuracy. Tenpoint Nitro 505

Unrivaled Velocity

TenPoint’s engineering team spared no expense in the research, design, and testing phases of this crossbow. All major components were design to handle this level of industry-leading speed and power.

To build the fastest crossbow ever, the TenPoint engineers had to completely redesign its predecessor, the Havoc RS440. The Nitro 505’s limbs are 30 pounds heavier and they elongated the power stroke by 3.5 inches.

The Nitro 505 has the longest power stroke in the industry at 17-inches long.

The elongate power stroke also keeps the arrow nock engaged with the string for an additional 4 inches before release, this is also a critical component in performance.

Optics

Tenpoint introduced this crossbow with three different scopes to choose from. You can choose the Evo-X Marksman Elite Variable Speed Scope with External Adjustment Turrets. The Burris Oracle X Rangefinding scope or you can go for the Garmin XERO X1i Rangefinding scope.

Xero X1i Rangefinder

The Xero X1i is an auto-ranging scope with 3.5X magnification that automatically measures the distance to a target. It is currently our favorite crossbow scope with a rangefinder.

The Xero X1i range finder also lets you range game up to 250 yards away and reflective targets up to 500 yards away.

It has precise illuminated aim points that automatically adjust the brightness to conditions. Thus it allow you to see your target, unobstructed by reticle patterns.

Trigger

TenPoint installed an S1 two-stage trigger system on the Nitro 505. This trigger assembly features an advanced roller-sear system that delivers a consistent crisp, 3.5-pound pull. Zero creep to report.

The trigger assembly is fit with a nylon-filament arrow retention brush that improves arrow grip. Its alignment to reduce noise and vibration. Integrate string stop system is also include to further reduce noise and vibration.

The trigger assembly has all the safety features you’d come to expect from a modern crossbow. It has anti-dry fire and auto safety.

Performance

In terms of performance, the TenPoint Nitro 505 sure is a powerhouse of a crossbow. It uses its 300-pound limbs and 17-inch power stroke to propel arrows at 505 feet per second with a 400-grain arrow, delivering 227 foot-pounds of KE knockdown power. More than enough for the toughest big game.

The first crossbow that broke the 500 fps barrier on our chronograph was the Ravin R500. The Nitro 505 broke that record. This is definitely the fastest crossbow that we ever had the pleasure of shooting with.
