Size and Weight

The Vapor RS470 has a full length of 32 inches in length and it has a width(axle-to-axle) of 12″ uncocked and a mere 6.5″ cocked. Without the accessories, the Vapor Rs470 weighs 6.5 lbs. With all the accessories installed the crossbow has a total weight of 8.5 lbs, which is remarkably light considering its power and all the tech it holds. TenPoint Vapor RS470

ACUslide

The crossbow hunting community has asked for a safer cocking/decocking mechanism for years now and Tenpoint delivered! The new ACUslide features the Auto-Brake-Gear-System, allowing for silent cocking and safe and controlled de-cocking, with minimal effort.

The internal brake system prevents dry firing. You can remove your hand from the handle at any point, whether cocking or de-cocking, and the handle will not get away from you and spin out of control, which can lead to injury or costly bow damage. The system works perfectly and it is very comfortable to use.

The handle is 5 inches but can be extended to about 7,5 inches to give you more leverage. The trigger box in the ACUslide locks into the same exact place each time the bow is cocked, which yields a consistent launch of the arrow each time it is shot.

Reverse draw advantage  

The TenPoint Vapor RS470’s 17-inch power stroke generates more speed with less draw weight. Its elongated power stroke also increases the distance the arrow nock is engaged with the string, a critical component in performance.

As the longer the nock remains engaged with the string, the more accurate the crossbow will be upon impact. It has a draw weight of 165 lbs. The Vapor Rs470 is perfect for any big game that is allow to  hunt.

Speed and Arrows

The TenPoint Vapor RS470 sends bolts at a spectacular 470 feet per second, which is incredibly fast. The RS470 features TenPoint’s RX-7 Cams that rotate an industry-leading 404 degrees during the draw cycle. This increases the amount of energy stored in the system and provides a “turbo boost” of speed upon launch that TenPoint calls SLING-SHOT technology.

TenPoint delivers a total of 12 arrows with the Vapor RS470. This includes 6 Lighted Evo-X CenterPunch premium carbon arrows and 6 Evo-X CenterPunch premium carbon arrows. As you can see in the table below, these arrows only manage to reach speeds of 440 FPS because they weigh more than the Pro Lite Carbon arrows that do reach speeds of 470 feet per second.

We recommend you to stick to the EVO-X CenterPunch Carbon arrows. They’re a bit heavier than the Pro Lite Carbon arrows, but this reduces wear and tear on strings, cables and basically the whole crossbow.

EVO-X marksman scope

The 5×30 scope on the TenPoint Vapor RS470, the EVO-X marksman, is mounted on a machined aluminum ⅞-inch fixed dovetail mount. It has three duplex crosshair markers and five yardage markers which are illuminated for low light situations.

The yardage markers can be illuminate either red or green and have five brightness settings, calibrate for 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 yards. The speed ring is adjustable from 330 – 450 feet per second.

TEC-X Stock

This new stock design cuts down on the overall size and weight of the crossbow by 1/2-pound. It is well design and very comfortable to hold.

New S1 Trigger

The new S1 trigger is a 2-stage, 3.5-pound, zero-creep design trigger. It features a roller sear system that sets a new standard in high-performance crossbow accuracy. It allows for greater accuracy and consistency. When you pull the trigger the rolling sear gives you a crisp break. I think the people who had issues with the Nitro XRT’s trigger will appreciate the triggers on the ACUSlide series. Big improvement!

Micro-Trac Barrel

Reduces string-to-rail contact by an incredible 50% – leading to increased accuracy and the longest string life in the industry to this date.
