Default RE: Ten Points Crossbow

Which one are you talking about? They got four of them.

The titan is their entry level cross bow.

The QX-4 is their top of the line bow as far as the bow itself goes.

The elite QX-4 is the same bow but with extras like the machined aluminum drop down foot stirup, brown anondizing, and more accessories in the package such as a hard case, carbon bolts, six broadheads, etc...

The Pro elite is the same bow but with even more accessories. Full camo, matched arrows and broadheads, and other little items.


Ten Point crossbows are, IMHO, the best cross bows made. You will do very well purchasing one for your father one. We never have a Ten Point in our shop for repairs due to a defect of malfunction of the bow itself. Stupid people is another story.

You can not dry fire a Ten Point. There is a mechanisim built into the bow that will stop the string within a half inch of travel if there is not an bolt loaded into the bow. If you do pull the trigger with out a bolt you simply recock the string.

If I were to purchase one for myself I would go with the elite QX-4. When you consider all that comes with this bow it costs nor more than a top of the line compound with top of the line accessories. Which is what this package has. The added camouflage and tuned broadheads of the Pro Elite are not on my top priority list of things to have in a crossbow and the QX-4 leaves you to buy needed accessories such as a hard case, broadheads, etc...

The QX-4 models have an extra safety on the forearm that you must depress in order to fire the bow. This is a welcomed feature as it forces a person to keep their foward hand below the string and keep the fingers safe in order to depress the safety.

The accudraw is a nice feature but I wouldn't pay for it if your father is able enough to cock it using his foot and arms. It is a pretty hard draw though.
