RAndy, I was in the stand the other day and whacked 2 deer and I guess i must have messed up and skipped a step. I loaded and third arrow but did not shoot it. When I went to decock, I turned the crank and i thought I was pressing the lever, but after cranking it back, it would not let me slide down. I ended up discharging a shaft and all is well so whatever I did, it caused no damage. Im thinking I maybe wasnt sitting correctly and I needed more umph to get the lever to click, I thought I heard it. Or I didnt have the knob rotating back and the brake was locked up.

When I do everything according to your video its flawless, just trying to figure this out so I wont repeat it in those PANIC moments. Thanks

The brake should be locked up when you're decocking the bow...after you insert your crank handle to decock it...you crank it clockwise to pull the trigger box back and release it with the trigger box release. When doing that you engage the brake automatically. I couldn't tell you what the issue may have been...I'm sure Randy will chime in on possibilities.

Lighted HPX nock question. I’m having a bit of a challenge with these. I carry the bednar tool and gas pliers. After shooting the nock a few times, the bednar tool works ok. But, these nocks come on dimly if I push them any closer to the bushing. But then if it gets damp out, they light up. Is this an ok distance for the nock to sit away from the bushing? Can I keep them further out so dampness might not affect them ?

They work great, do not come off like the older versions.

They are problematic for sure. Wish there was other options.

They should not come on that far out. Send me an email please. rwood@tenpointcrossbows.com

I'm traveling New York next week and hitting a bunch of dealers, so I will be in and out next week. Shoot me an email if somebody needs something.

100% better than the last edition, but yeah, popping them to turn off is a problem. Then if I set them just out enough to turn off on a misty set, they come on but dimly. I’m guessing the condensation provides a battery path?

I have a venom x, all my arrows are 20”

When I hang the bow up in a tree , the stirrup size (small ) allows interference with the broadhead against the hook unless I stand up and move around a lot so the broadhead does not bang against the hook. I need a bigger, longer, stirrup or hanger whatever you want to call it. For my purposes, it can’t be too long, the longer the better.

I’m not cutting 1 1/2” or 2” off iall my shafts at least not right now

Can I get a giant old timey 10 point one that'll fit my VX?

Thanks

Ode1891: check with a machine shop or welding shop to see if they
would build one out of small tubing or a rod.
Wishing you all the best.
Take care.

I may have a bigger one at the house...I'll look when I get home...I can't remember what Tenpoint bow it came on but it's bigger than the bow hanger.

 

[10PtCrossbow]

If I remember correctly. The stirrup on that model screws into the riser and does not fit into the riser like the older style stirrups.

That would explain why people are having solutions machined to fit. Thanks

Question with my 2025 Flatline 460. I sighted the bow in this weekend with the bolts that came with the package. Dialed in the Evo X scope at 20 yards and did the speed ring adjustments at 40 yards. When making the speed ring adjustments I had to lower the speed on the scope ring to around 435-440 ish. This seems really slow. Any chance the speed numbers on the scope are off? I haven’t had a chance bring it in to be chronographed.

Speed ring is only an estimate. It is not a chronograph.

The 460 speed is rated with 400 gr arrows. The flatline likely came with the centerpunch that weigh 445, so the bow should hit about 440 fps or so.

I thought TP stopped doing this "bait and switch". I was told that the advertised bow speed is WITH the arrows supplied. Let's see what 10ptCrossbow says.

Read the specs on their website. It's not bait and switch when they tell you what they shoot. Ain't nobody rating a bow with an arrow over 400 grains besides tenpoint (410 grains).
Actually, I forgot the 460 shoots the 16" arrows, so they do weigh 410.
As for the speed ring, those numbers don't mean a whole bunch, they're just estimates. Run it through a Chrono to verify

Their website does state FPS rated with 410 gr arrows.

Both the scope and speed ring could be off some. Only real way to be sure, would be to weigh the arrows and use a chronograph for more accurate FPS.
It is really not uncommon for their crossbows to shoot slower then stated.

 

[Peeps]

Arrows weighed in at 410 grains and it shot 453.5 FPS on the chronograph so everything looks good 😊.

 

[10PtCrossbow]

Peeps, if your Flatline is a 2025 model, sight it in with these directions.

None of it is bait and switch. We put what we think is the best arrow for the bow and cover the speeds with multiple arrows on the website. The Flatline comes with the 16 inch EVO arrows and that is what the bow is speed rated with.
