I have a TenPoint 505. I bought it in another state,but will not be hunting there for a while,so I can‘t get it worked on there. Is there a list of people who work specifically on TenPoint, i.e. certified technician? No problems at this point, but wonder what to do if one arises. I am not a tinkerer and need someone who knows what they are doing…….
Thanks.

Go to the TP website and look under support. Use the locator for TenPoint Service Centers.

That being said, just like all occupations there are good techs out there and not-so good techs. It is kind of like finding a mechanic, or a good primary care physician. After my long-time bow guy retired about 3 yrs ago, I am still in search of a quality bow service technician. I am pretty decent doing minor stuff with my guns, but I am not ready to take the leap of faith to service my own bows, compound or crossbow.

Agree. There are a lot of "archery" techs out there. You have a better chance of getting a good one who is better prepared to work on your TP bow by using their service centers. Also, warranty work will be much easier to get approved.

Here is a link to the Tenpoint dealer locator. However there are no guarantees that the people at the dealer locations actually have the capability and knowledge of quality work. Especially with the frequent turnover of employees at any given archery shop. I recently had a experience at a shop that has been a Tenpoint dealer for quite some time, it was a simple job of replacing the string and cables, the person did not correctly install them. Finding a repair dealer that knows what they are doing and their knowledge of crossbows is sometimes a gamble.

I would send Randy the TP rep on here a PM. He will be able to tell you the most reputable dealer in your area. @10PtCrossbow

A "dealer" is not the same as a "service center". It may be either, or, or both.

You are correct, I should have used a better choice of words. What I was referring to and in my situation, it was a service center. A fairly large shop at that.

The link I posted in post #6 is for dealers, but will also direct you to service centers.
