New TX Ultra 26.5 Vision Features New Vision Digital Rangefinding Scope

TenPoint Crossbow Technologies unveiled the NEW TX Ultra 26.5, their shortest forward draw crossbow ever equipped with their NEW Vision™ HD Digital Rangefinding Scope. Measuring 26.5" short and 7" narrow, the TX Ultra 26.5 shoots 410 FPS and features Twin-Riser Technology™ (TRT), a custom TriggerTech Trigger, AR-Style Ambidextrous Thumb Safety, and multiple precision-engineered accuracy advancements capable of delivering 3" groups at 100-yards.

"Previously, 'short' and 'comfortable' were never found in the same sentence when describing ultra-compact crossbows, but the TX Ultra 26.5 changes that," said Phil Bednar, TenPoint CEO. "It excels in ground blind hunting and run-and-gun situations where maneuverability is critical."

The TenPoint Vision HD 3-12X Digital Rangefinding Crossbow Scope includes 5 Pre-Loaded TenPoint Arrow Ballistic Profiles and setup is simple thanks to One-Shot Zeroing. This advanced digital scope delivers crystal clear imaging with advanced technology that provides unrivaled accuracy, ranging and recording clarity vs. any crossbow optic in existence.

The integrated laser rangefinder precisely measures distances from 5- to 1,100-yards and pairs with one of 5 Pre-Loaded TenPoint Arrow Ballistic Profiles (or create your own custom profile with the ballistic calculator) to instantly provide accurate drop compensation based on the measured range.

The scope captures every hunt with its built-in video recorder and noise-reducing microphone, featuring three smart trigger modes including Auto RAV for hands-free, recoil-triggered recording.

"The Vision HD's crystal-clear optics and one-shot zeroing make it incredibly easy to dial in, while the built-in video recorder captures every moment of the hunt with stunning clarity. This scope combines unrivaled rangefinding accuracy with the coolest feature ever—seamless recording that documents your entire hunting experience," said Bednar.

"Over the last 18 months, our engineering team has been locked in on creating the most accurate crossbows to ever hit the market," Bednar continued. "Every component of our Ultra Series is designed to achieve sniper-like accuracy with category-leading reliability. The wider limbs and larger axles create a more stable, repeatable, and durable shooting platform, while the ACU-X™ Arrow with Snap-On Nock and upgraded custom string deliver devastating long-range accuracy. And, the Vision HD Rangefinding Crossbow Scope allows you to be more accurate at longer ranges, and, in the end, maximize their effective, ethical killing range."

Ultra-Accuracy Treatment: Three Key Innovations Deliver 70% Tighter Groups at 100-Yards

Zero-Torsion Technology

  • NEW 8MM Axle: 175% stronger and 215% stiffer than standard axles, maintains perfect cam, axle, and limb alignment during and after the shot to maximize accuracy and improve bow efficiency.
  • NEW X-Wide™ Limbs: 20% wider and 120% stronger than standard limbs, combine with the 8MM axle to eliminate all torsional movement along the limb axis, driving long-range accuracy.

Premium String Construction: Given the goals for the Ultra Series and the additional serving wear created by traditional snap-on nocks, we investigated new string materials and construction methods. This testing led to our new Premium String, built with advanced processes and materials to deliver both exceptional accuracy and string longevity for bows using snap-on nocks. The Premium String and ACU-X nock combination virtually eliminates serving distortion and wear while extending string life by 200% compared to previous strings.

NEW ACU-X 20 Arrows with Snap-On Nock

  • ACU-X 20 Arrow: 20-inch, 440-grain arrow features a high-performance carbon shaft and new precision spine-indexing manufacturing technique - placing the spine of the arrow in the exact configuration that has been tested and proven to deliver the ultimate consistency and accuracy for our rail-less forward crossbows. In addition to spine indexing, arrow straightness of .001" and +/- 1 grain weight sorting ensure ultimate arrow-to-arrow consistency.
  • ACU-X Snap-On Nock: Innovative design provides unmistakable audible "click" confirmation when properly engaged with the bowstring, eliminating lateral nock travel during the shot cycle for precision long-range accuracy, while preserving string center serving life.

The TX Ultra 26.5 features TenPoint’s Twin-Riser Technology. 18% lighter and 2x stiffer than traditional risers, TRT is designed with symmetrical top and bottom plates that reduce riser flex by 70% to generate the most consistent arrow flight path for greater down-range accuracy. The additional stiffness also dramatically reduces shock and vibration, giving TenPoint crossbows a distinct advantage in reduced noise and vibration over other high-performance crossbows.

Each facet of the TX Ultra 26.5 is designed to extract every millimeter of accuracy from the crossbow, including a custom, hand built TriggerTech Trigger. Using TriggerTech's patented Zero-Creep Technology™, this 3lb. trigger features a clean, crisp break to promote accuracy and precision. In addition, the trigger’s Dry-Fire-Preventor™ (DFP) functions as a second safety – blocking the trigger from firing unless the nock is properly inserted.

An AR-Style Ambidextrous Thumb Safety is conveniently located directly above the shooter’s firing hand and is effortlessly activated and deactivated with the thumb – allowing the shooter to keep both hands on the crossbow and eyes locked on their game.

The TX Ultra 26.5's rail-less design features the ZERO-Trac Barrel that eliminates arrow friction for enhanced down-range precision. The GUIDE-Lock™ Arrow Rest System provides easy arrow-loading, as the arrow rests on two extremely wear-resistant ball bearings that reduce friction on the arrow to deliver exceptional accuracy and durability.

The combination of the TriggerTech Trigger, NEW ACU-X Arrow with Snap-On Nock, NEW premium string, and ZERO-Trac Barrel create the most accurate launch platform ever built for a crossbow.

An incredible 25x stronger than traditional scope rails, the ACU-Lock™ Scope Bridge maximizes accuracy and durability for the TX Ultra 26.5. The full-length, machined aluminum Scope Bridge provides the ultimate foundation for scope stability and allows for more scope adjustment, heavier rangefinding/IR and Thermal scope options, and maximum in-the-field durability.

The TX Ultra 26.5 features the patented ACUslide MAXX™, the pinnacle in crossbow cocking and de-cocking. Stronger, smoother, and easier to operate, the patented ACUslide MAXX features the Auto-Brake Gear System that eliminates the potential of losing control during cocking or de-cocking which can lead to injury or costly bow damage. While cocking and de-cocking with the ACUslide MAXX, you can remove your hand at any point, with no other action required - and the handle will stop in place.

Every detail of the TX Ultra 26.5 is specifically engineered to build the ultimate hunting system.

  • Bow hanger for easy hanging in the stand.
  • ACUslide MAXX crank handle is picatinny mounted - providing multiple mounting options.
  • Ambidextrous Quick-Disconnect allows shooter to store quiver on the picatinny rail at the perfect angle.
