2022 Field & Stream Best of the Best Crossbow. Meet the Nitro 505 – one of the world’s fastest crossbows made. With a speed of 505 feet-per-second and 227-foot pounds of blistering power, the Nitro 505 is one of the fastest crossbows and most powerful crossbows ever built by TenPoint. Equipped with a 100-yard scope, the Nitro 505 maximizes accuracy and durability with Scope Struts and a longer dovetail that increases strength by 80-percent. This combination provides a rock-solid foundation for your scope to deliver long-range accuracy and “bulletproof” in-the-field durability. The longer dovetail allows for more scope adjustments, heavier scope options, and provides the strength of a full-length rail without the added weight. Among the world’s fastest crossbows, and featuring a perfectly balanced reverse-draw platform that is unmatched in its ability to produce speed and power, the Nitro 505 is the fastest hunting crossbow that is equipped with a newly designed RX-8 Cam System, a 2-stage, zero-creep S1 Trigger that delivers a consistent crisp, 3.5-pound pull, and the easy cocking and de-cocking system dealers recommend most – the ACUslide. Requiring just 5-pounds of force to operate – a fraction of the force required on competitors bows – the ACUslide provides safe cocking and easy de-cocking. If you don’t take a shot, safely de-cock the crossbow by backwinding the handle, and unlike other de-cocking systems on the market, this easy cocking feature allows you to stop at any point without the fear of damage, injury, or losing control. With more than 25,000 test shots fired, the Nitro 505 is one of the fastest crossbows built to maintain the durability you’ve come to expect from the company well-known for building the best crossbows and who make speed and safe de-cocking a priority.
