Nitro 505 Fastest Crossbow in the world

TenPoint Nitro 505 is the fastest crossbow in the world at this time, That is why we have spent our time researching the features and technologies present in the TenPoint Nitro 505 crossbow. With the speed sometimes up to 514 fps. this is beyond impressive. The big debate of the past few years was Tenpoint vapor RS470 vs Ravin R500, which is better. Not anymore. Nitro 505 blows them out of the water. 

How Fast is TenPoint Nitro 505?

Before heading to discuss the factors that make Nitro 505 the fastest crossbow in the world, let's unwind some real facts about the speed of this bow. Reports have revealed that it is the only fastest crossbow developed now. Its speed tops Raven R500 and we also tested it with a chronograph. However, we noticed that different lengths of this crossbow are observed to have varying speed limits. 400-grain Pro Elite

When we shot the 20-inch 400-grain Pro Elite (sold separately), it gave speed ratios, including 514 and 515 fps. Other than this, when we shot a 455-grain it attained a speed of about 498fps.

The primary reason for the increased speed of this crossbow is the availability of CenterPunch to enhance the overall performance of the crossbow ring. Furthermore, the low weight of the bolt impacts the speed of this crossbow and makes it one of the fastest crossbows in the world.

Besides the bolts, another factor responsible for the fastest speed of this crossbow is the presence of an aluminum barrel. It dramatically decreases the overall surface area of the bow by 50%. Thus, this whole mechanism results in a significant decrease in friction. The aluminum barrel will also give you increased string life.

Accuracy

The Burris® Oracle X™ crossbow scope is one of the most advanced crossbow scopes available today and features a built-in laser rangefinder. When activated via the wireless remote if you choose, or the range button on the scope, the 2-7x Oracle X instantly displays the distance to your target and provides an exact aiming point factoring in the angle of your shot. The button press on Nitro 505 Oracle lets you range game up to 200-yards away and reflective targets up to 500-yards away.

We took the Nitro 505 Oracle to the range to find that it is extremely accurate, easily placing bolts in the bull’s eye. We believe the ability to shoot off a rest is the biggest advantage a crossbow offers over a vertical bow. Blend the Nitro 505’s unrivaled speed and subsequently flatted bolt trajectory with a solid shooting platform makes this rig absolutely lethal even at relatively long crossbow hunting distances such as 50 and 60 yards. Precise target shooting out to 100 yards is quite easy with the Nitro 505, though trying such long-range shots while bowhunting is tough.

Tenpoint Bolts

Due to the extreme force produced by the Nitro 505, TenPoint developed its new HP aluminum bushing for the nock end of bolts shot from the rig. Hunters can choose between the 455-grain EVO-X CenterPunch bolts shipped with the Nitro 505 crossbow or the 400-grain Pro Elite 400 bolts sold separately.

Light Weight

It is also observed that the less draw weight of the crossbow increases its ability to shoot the bows with the fastest speed. That is why TenPoint Nitro 505 is available with a low weight ranging up to 7.9 pounds (without accessories). Another plus point that comes with the low weight of the crossbow is its easy handling.

This Tenpoint crossbow is measured up to 30.7 inches (without stirrup). Thus, this increased length of the whole setup makes it easy for the hunters to handle it during the hunting sessions.

Auto-Brake Gear System

Another groundbreaking technology by Tenpoint crossbows is, that increases the working efficiency of the TenPoint Nitro 505 crossbow is the auto-brake gear system. Hunters find it pretty hard to cock and de-cock some crossbows since the sound can play a crucial part in your hunt. When you're using the TenPoint Nitro 505 crossbow, you don't have to bother about losing your target.

The availability of the auto-brake gear system supports the crossbow's silent cocking and de-cocking mechanism. Thus, there will be minimal noise when you're pointing the bow at a deer or any other hunt. This integration of the auto-braking system increases the speedy hunting, thereby satisfying the hunters to the fullest.

Scope

The Burris® Oracle X™ crossbow scope is one of the most state-of-the-art crossbow scopes available and features a built-in laser rangefinder. Once activated via the wireless remote or the range button on the scope, the 2-7x Oracle X immediately displays the distance to your target and gives an exact aiming point factoring in the angle of your shot. The press of the button lets you range the game up to 200-yards away and reflective targets up to 500-yards away. 

Vector-Quad Cable Technology

Here's a fantastic feature that makes the TenPoint Nitro 505 crossbow the fastest and most accurate option for the four-cable system. This vector-quad cable technology never lets the users lose their stability when pointing to the target. It helps to stabilize the cams and limbs. Thus, it will not be wrong to say that Nitro 505 provides a consistent hunting position to the users.

In addition to this, repeatable performance is a plus point because of vector-quad cable technology. It greatly helps to eliminate the cam lean and plays a leading role in generating a straight-nock shot. This technology makes the trails perfectly accurate for professional hunters. Thus, you can get repeatable results with it.

Reverse-draw Limb Design

No doubt, Nitro 505 has been the fastest in the hunting industry till now. But the addition of a reverse-draw crossbow limb design makes it even more demanding among the users. This feature is known for providing a substantial platform that can support a 17-inch power stroke. This stroke is considered as longest in the industry.

The increased speed of the TenPoint crossbows is due to this high power stroke. It is also observed that the high speed of the Nitro 505 crossbow is possible with less draw weight. The presence of reverse-draw limb design technology helps engage the string for an extra four inches of travel. Thus, this rail travel increases the overall performance and accuracy.

Zero-Creep S1 Trigger

If you're a hunter, you must be wondering about the pulling power and two-stage trigger. This technology helps to increase the accuracy and consistency of hunting skills. Thus, to help you out with this, the fastest crossbow is now available with a zero-creep S1 trigger. It helps the hunters attain a 3.5-pound pull with an advanced roller-sear system.

Above all, this trigger box is available with DFI technology. Dry-Fire-Inhibitor is fitted with the highest quality of nylon-filament arrow. It increases the retention or grip and improves the overall alignment in the bow system. Another plus point of this feature is the prominent reduction in noise and vibration.

Cocking and De-Cocking System

One of the essential reasons for hunters' increased usage of the TenPoint Nitro 505  crossbow is its silent mechanism for cocking and de-cocking. You don't have to put much effort into organizing or pointing its bows toward the target. All you need to do is apply only 5-pounds of force to operate with your full access.

Many compatible straps increase their ability to bear large amounts of force. It comes with a NEW Dyneema cocking trap. It can withstand up to 2000 pounds of force. So, it doesn't matter how far your target is; you can easily adjust the cocking and de-cocking mechanism without causing any noise.

Kinetic Energy

The highly improved kinetic energy is an outstanding feature that supports nitro 505 its 505 fps speed. It is directly related to the overall speed of the crossbow. TenPoint Nitro 505 crossbow can generate estimated kinetic energy of about 227-pounds per second. It is responsible for the highly demanded power of crossbows.

TenPoint Nitro 505 crossbow has been observed to stand rightly on almost all users' expectations. It surpassed last year's fastest Tenpoint crossbow at that time Tenpoint vapor RS470 Xero elite package. The integration of all the features mentioned above increases its speed to a greater extent. Thus, if you're wondering about getting your hands on the fastest crossbow, TenPoint Nitro 505 will be a perfect option for you! The price is also budget-friendly for many crossbow lovers out there.
