I’ve been using a ten point crossbow for 8 years now. I’ve taken several deer with It. I just purchased a second TenPoint GT turbo at Midway USA on sale. Both bows shoot similar and my arrows (Bolts) chronographed at 324fps - 326 FPS. At 60 yds I hit a pie plate all day long with either Xbow. TenPoint’s customer service is very good. For the money you can’t beat it. Good luck.

 

Tenpoint is the pinnacle of crossbows IMO. I just wish I could afford one, LOL

 

The one you like and can afford.

 

Excalibur exo series or matrix series all day long. Reason you can change your brace height and your strings because it's only one string everyone knows the second to none accuracy. JMO

 

Owned Skorpyd, Ten point and now Ravin.
R10 if buying new.

 

I gotta agree nothing bad to say about an R 10. Even the price is better than anything in its class!

 

Tenpoint/Wicked Ride crossbows are great! I haven’t tried any of their expensive top of the line stuff. Years ago I picked up a Tenpoint Titan SS and if my shoulder is bothering me too much to use my compound, then I’ll hunt with the crossbow with confidence! My wife and I picked up a Wicked Ridge Rampage 360 last season for my dad and it’s an impressive bow at a goood price! If I were to look at any other brand I would look at Excalibur.

 

Excalibur was my first xbow. The accuracy was amazing and being able to swap out the string in the woods was a great advantage. Hunting from a tree stand was difficult because the limbs were so wide. Now Excalibur’s bows are much more compact although the bows are expensive.

 

mission sub 1 used or Ravin R10

 

For the price wicked ridge is hard to beat.

 

This one!

 

Take a long hard look at Raven every one of the Raven bows are great accuracy performance easy to work on

 

It's fast, light, has a great scope and cranks or crank assist. Invader 400

The best bang for the Buck is. A crossbow you don't need a press for. I own couple of them n won't ever own another model that needs to be pressed

 

yep. if you can fid a dicounted R10 package there just no way to beat this bow 1100.00 or so even 1200.00

 

TenPoint........(if affordable by the purchaser)

 

A used old school excal with the wide limbs.

 

Ravin R10, no doubt about it. Could shoot it for the rest of your life. Fast, reasonably priced and incredibly accurate.

 

As mentioned at the top find a ten point turbo gt, they are marked down and a super xbow, I've had mine since 2017 its what I refer to as ol reliable, I've had 6 other ten point xbows over the years and I have a viper 400 also, but I'm pretty much done with speed bows anything much over 400fps is just overkill imo, hard on targets and string and cables etc like I say just my opinion, the newest ten points have improved string and cable life, but they still fall way short of the turbo gt as far as life span, it's shooting a 425gr arrow at 335fps which is faster than any of my compound bows, there's alot of good xbows to choose from but ultimately it's your choice, if you want a crank to cock it vs a rope, I prefer the crank myself but I can and still cock the turbo gt with a pull rope, the crank is there when I want to use it, just another option, the faster an Xbow shoots the more they cost.

 

Tenpoint RS410 is my favorite hands down. I tested it against the Tenpoint Vapor RS470 and the Axe AX440 and the Siege sold me.

 

Excaibur. If I can't fix it myself without a bow press I am not buying it. If your worried about a limb problem spend a $100 for an extra set. I would assume a limb breakage or cam problem could be a long wait to get a manufacturer to fix them.

Every bow offered on the market will need something fixed or adjusted during the time you own it. The best bow is the one that can offer dependability with the least amount of maintenance. Being able to preform the required maintenance yourself is a huge savings( mailing these things back and forth to the mfg is costly, and bow shops are not cheap either) Speed is often the deciding factor in the purchase of the perfect bow. You will never stop paying for speed. Broken Limbs, strings, worn servings, special arrow set ups and the list goes on and on. Excalibur still makes one of the best designed bows on the market. It has enough speed to get the job done with as little maintenance as possible. They will shoot just about any arrow you feed it with great accuracy.
