It's the second fastest crossbow on the market. The Tenpoint nitro 505 shoots a 400 grain arrow between 505 to 520 fps . Correction the R500 shoots a 400 grain arrow including the field point , the arrow is 300 grains and the field point 100 grains.But still a very impressive crossbow 👍

Just to be clear, it shoots a 400 grain arrow. That 400 grains includes a 100 grain point. The arrow itself weighs 300 grains.

@douglasborgaro6801 2 года назад

I just purchased my first TenPoint! The Nitro 505! No problems with Nocks or arrows. My bow clocked 521 FPS with a 400 grain arrow. With the general rate of reduction formula, you loose 1-1.5 FPS for every 5 grains of additional arrow weight. That would put me between 504.5 to 509 FPS with a 455 grain arrow! That’s nuts!! The 505 is the most researched crossbow that TenPoint has ever produced. Everything is beefed up and extremely strong.Even the strings and cables are thicker and heavier. The TenPoint Nitro 505 is winning the 500 war! With my 455 grain arrow I can produce over 250 ft lbs of kinetic energy and over 1.03 slug of momentum!

@Bullets4Bucks 2 года назад

Cool

@pianoten 2 года назад

The ravin is alot more accurate though. You can reach a bit more precision by using heavier arrows on the nitro but the precision manufacturing of the ravin is just superior

Obviously he hasn't seen the tenpoint nitro 505 .... line these 2 crossbows up ... tenpoints strings last 10 × longer than the ravin , tenpoint shoots flatter and faster , tenpoints nitro 505 accuracy is better , comes out with a better scope aswell... picked up my 505 last week to replace my nitro rdx which I've had for 5-6 years without a single problem.. dropped deer and goats out to 100 yards if I couldn't get closer with a complete pass through with 3 blade snuffer ss 125 grn .. I loved the nitro rdx but my new crossbow makes it look ancient and I can't wait to see what it can do, shoots hole for hole at 50 yards.... was looking at the ravin 500r and wanted to get it with the battery and I waited and waited and I didn't hear a good thing about it, string wear after 20 shots so I stuck with what I know and what works for me.... happy hunting and stay safe... 🇦🇺

I've shot my r29x and r500 atleast 150 times each and no problems yet took a big 11 last year with my r29x and 2 decent 8s with he r500 the tenpoints feel awkward to shoot I tested them all I'll be sticking with ravin without a doubt

@tythomps 2 года назад

So is doing the same thing with my Excalibur Bulldog 400 off a BOG tripod ULTRA INSANE? Since it can shoot equally good groups at 80 yds without any cams and cables. And takes just as few shots to get dialed in for it. Haha just messing. A crossbow shooting groups at 80 yards isn't insane. Guys been doing this for well over a decade. What is insane about the R500 though is the amount of KE it has. Also the insane cost.

@Bullets4Bucks 2 года назад

True 👍 however I previously usually only went out 40 or 50 yards with my old crossbows

@tythomps 2 года назад

@@Bullets4Bucks should have gone out further then ;) That or your old crossbows were the conventional compounds with cables running under rail with lots of string downward pressure. They were more common for the longest time, but couldn't compete with Excalibur for accuracy. Only in recent years since compound crossbows have been balancing the cams have they been able to outdo the Excals for accuracy by a little bit.

@douglasborgaro6801 2 года назад

I think Excalibur needs to do something other than the Twinstrike. The recurve has some limitations when it comes to advancing technology. I’d rather they focus on accuracy enhancement and stay with the other features they already have.

@colefawcett3191 2 года назад

Excalibur big wide horrible limbs , noisy as hell , ugly as hell ... nitro rdx 6 years not a single problem, super narrow and accurate, just got the nitro 505 can't wait to see what it can do, rdx at 100yards complete pass through on deer and goats if I couldn't get any closer

@kimberlylevin2191 2 года назад

I just got the R500- shot it ~15 times- strings fraying, 2 nocks broke, not easy to get bolts seated- ended up sending it back. Not the quality I would expect for that kind of money. Very disappointed

@colefawcett3191 2 года назад

I feel bad for you mate , done a heap of research on the ravin and nitro 505 and went with the 505 thank god

@colefawcett3191 2 года назад

I also went with the nitro 505 because I've been hunting with a nitro rdx for the past 5-6 years and have dropped red deer, pigs , Fox's , goats , rabbits and have not had a single problem , I replaced the string after around 400 shots and it was still in ok condition so I stick with what I think is quality and the 10 point has proved itself where as the ravin I've heard nothing but problems and string wear is a big deal for me as after 30 or so shots I don't want to be thinking is this the shot it's going to break and that is only the start of problems I've heard , 10 point have beefed up the strands in there strings for the 505

@douglasborgaro6801 2 года назад

More and more I’m hearing about broken or stripped out Nocks and fraying strings. Not acceptable for $3000 bow.

@Bullets4Bucks 2 года назад

I agree its not acceptable. My only problems are broken nocks so far but thats unacceptable as they cost an insane amount if it ruins the bolt

@stephandejager7974 2 года назад

@tracytreads7942 2 года назад

Been watching this Bow since it came out. Seems everything under 400fps is being given away. No doubt this is a BEAST of an XBOW, based on ALL the info looking seriously at this but it is still pricey for me. The cost of the newest and the BEST. The NITRO is 505 fps, squeaking out all they can on this platform.

@Bullets4Bucks 2 года назад

@alansousa2488 2 года назад

Which one has bolt issues? Ravin r500?

@Bullets4Bucks 2 года назад

@@alansousa2488 yes

@douglasborgaro6801 2 года назад

The Nitro 505 commonly produces speed over 510 FPS with a 400 gr. Arrow. The highest velocity I’ve heard of was 520 FPS. There is also a 450 gr arrow offering that is between 495-498 FPS, with kinetic energy of over 242 lbs. I must say, I’ve been a Ravin fan for a long time. I think TenPoint has them beat so far on this one. If the R500 produces better overall accuracy over time than the TenPoint, it will give them some redemption. If not, TenPoint wins the 500 race hands down.

the insane speeds are overrated. You can get an xbow for $200 that can take down any game in north america. The crazy price tags on high end CBs are just a wank fest for old men with a few too many bob in the bank. if you're going to spend half a mortgage on a crossbow why don't you just buy a 1000 yard sniper or something for those dollars.
