First Impressions

TenPoint ships the Siege RS410 completely assembled. You do have to make sure the RangeMaster Pro scope is properly sighted in before you take it out for a hunt!

Just like the TenPoint Havoc RS440, the TenPoint Siege RS410 is a very compact reverse-draw crossbow. In fact, it has exactly the same design as the Havoc RS440.

To reduce the noise of the string, TenPoint installed an integrated string-stop system at the end of the crossbow. Hopefully, the Siege RS410 is as quiet as TenPoint claims. We’ll find out in the performance test! Tenpoint Siege RS410 Crossbow

Design and Durability

Measuring just 26.5 inches in length, 12.3 inches uncocked and only 7.5 inches cocked, it’s a very compact crossbow. Only the Ravin R26 is more compact than the TenPoint Siege RS410.

Without accessories this crossbow already weighs 7.5 pounds, after installing the scope and 6-arrow tech quiver it weighs around 9 pounds.

With a power stroke of 13.5 inches and a draw weight of 220 pounds, the Siege RS410 fires arrows at 410 feet per second. It’s exactly the same design as the Havoc RS440.

The limbs are under a lot less stress because the draw weight is only 220 pounds instead of the 270 pounds draw weigh of the Havoc RS440. This obviously will result in less sound and vibrations being generated by the limbs.

Optics

TenPoint mounted the RangeMaster Pro Scope on the Siege RS410. It’s a multi-coated, 1.5 – 5x magnification, illuminated scope that is speed-rated for crossbows up to 425 feet per second and has aiming points at up to 60 yards.

These aiming points consist of 3 crosshairs and 5 circles calibrated for 20-60 yards in 10-yard increments. It’s a great scope from dusk till dawn.

We found that the illuminated reticle is actually quite bright during low-light conditions. It’s best to have used the battery for a couple of hours as this will reduce the strength of the battery and the illuminated reticle is then perfect for low-light conditions.

Sighting in the RangeMaster Pro Scope

As the RangeMaster Pro is a variable-power style drop-compensating scope. TenPoint already pre-sighted the Siege RS410 at 20-yards for the 410 feet per second this crossbow generates. We always recommend taking your newly bought crossbow out to the range for some practice shooting before you take it out on a hunt.

Noise Reducing Features

TenPoint advertises the Siege RS410 as “ the quietest most compact crossbow ever.” By using the Havoc RS440’s design and lowering the draw-weight by 50 pounds, the limbs generate a lot less sound and vibrations. An integrated string stop system catches the string at the end of the barrel and the “snapping” sound the string usually makes is a lot less.

Cocking

TenPoint installed their latest ACUslide safe cocking and de-cocking system on the Siege RS410. TenPoint did not upgrade the ACU crank cocking device this year.

The ACUslide will reduce the cocking effort to just 5 pounds. It’s very safe and easy to use. You can safely let go of the crank mid-draw and the crank will remain in its position.

Performance

It’s time to take the TenPoint Siege RS410 out to the range for some practice shooting and performance testing!

TenPoint pre-sighted and pre-installed the Siege RS410 before they ship them out, so we didn’t have to assemble it. Our crossbow was also perfectly sighted in.
