1.TenPoint TX 440 Crossbow – 440 FPS – Most Advanced Compact, Forward Draw Crossbow in The World

 

 

 

 

the TX 440 — a compact powerhouse engineered for hunters and shooters who demand elite performance in a small package. At only 28″ long and 6.5″ wide, this forward-draw crossbow delivers blistering speeds up to 440 feet-per-second without the bulk of a full-size rig. Designed from the ground up for precision, durability, and silence, the TX 440 blends advanced materials and thoughtful ergonomics so you can shoot farther, straighter, and with more confidence.

Performance & design
The TX 440’s Twin-Riser Technology is a standout: by making the riser 18% lighter and twice as stiff as traditional designs, the system reduces riser flex and limb torque. The result is noticeably less vibration and noise at the shot and better down-range accuracy—especially valuable for long shots or when stealth matters. The compact forward-draw layout keeps weight and overall length low while still delivering race-car velocity.

Trigger, nocking, and arrow control
At the heart of the firing system is a custom, hand-built TriggerTech Trigger with a 3-lb pull and patented Zero-Creep Technology. The trigger “breaks like glass,” giving a repeatable, crisp release that helps tighten groups. The CenterPunch HPX arrow with its snap-in Alpha-Nock locks securely into the TriggerTech box so you both hear and feel when the arrow is correctly seated—no guessing, just consistent shots.

Rail, rest, and accuracy stack
The TX 440 adopts a rail-less ZERO-Trac Barrel to reduce weight and eliminate arrow friction, while the Guide-Lock Arrow Rest fully captures the arrow for stable, repeatable flight. Together these features minimize parasitic drag and introduce less variability shot-to-shot, translating into truer trajectories and tighter groupings at distance.

Optics and mounting
Built around an ACU-Lock Scope Bridge that’s 25× stronger than traditional rails, the TX 440 gives optics a rock-solid foundation — a must for maintaining zero and maximizing the benefit of high-power scopes and rangefinding optics.

Factor to Consider when Choosing Best Crossbow with Rangefinder Scope

1. Speed and Power

The speed of a crossbow, measured in feet per second (FPS), determines how fast your arrow travels toward the target. Higher FPS means a flatter trajectory and better penetration, especially for long-range or big game hunting. A model that delivers at least 400 FPS provides excellent balance between speed and accuracy, ensuring you can hit targets confidently even beyond typical hunting ranges.

2. Rangefinder Scope Quality

The scope is one of the most critical components of your crossbow setup. A rangefinding scope eliminates the need for guesswork by automatically adjusting your aim point based on the target’s distance. Look for scopes with clear, multi-coated optics, an etched reticle, and an accurate built-in laser rangefinder. Models with variable zoom (e.g., 2.5–7x) and illuminated aiming points perform exceptionally well in low-light conditions.

3. Accuracy and Stability

Accuracy depends on more than just the scope—it also relies on the crossbow’s structural integrity. Features like scope struts, rail-less barrel designs, and stiff risers reduce vibration and flex, ensuring your arrow flies straight. A stable platform maintains consistent shot placement even after multiple uses or in rough field conditions, which is vital for hunters aiming at longer distances.

4. Trigger System

A high-quality trigger can dramatically enhance precision. The best crossbows feature zero-creep, two-stage triggers that “break like glass,” meaning there’s no resistance before the shot. Lightweight triggers (around 3 to 3.5 pounds) promote smoother releases, reducing flinching and improving shot consistency. Choose a model with a crisp, clean trigger mechanism for tighter groupings and better control.

5. Cocking and De-Cocking Mechanism

Safety and convenience go hand-in-hand when it comes to cocking and de-cocking systems. A silent and smooth system, such as the ACUslide or similar mechanisms, allows you to cock your bow quietly and safely de-cock it without firing a shot. This prevents accidents, reduces stress on the limbs, and enables stealth in the field—an essential factor when hunting wary animals.

6. Size and Weight

Compact and lightweight crossbows are easier to maneuver, particularly in tight spaces like ground blinds or tree stands. Shorter designs with narrower widths (around 6–7 inches when cocked) provide excellent balance and mobility. However, make sure the reduced size doesn’t compromise comfort or shooting stability. The ideal crossbow offers a blend of portability, balance, and shooting comfort.

7. Build Quality and Durability

A durable crossbow must withstand the rigors of outdoor environments. Materials like carbon fiber, aluminum, and composite blends ensure strength without unnecessary weight. Twin-riser or reinforced frame designs minimize flex and improve accuracy over time. Additionally, a corrosion-resistant finish helps protect the crossbow from moisture and dirt during extended use in the field.

8. Accessories and Package Inclusions

When investing in a high-end crossbow, check what’s included in the package. A complete setup often features the crossbow itself, a rangefinder scope, arrows, quiver, cocking system, string stop, and bowhanger. These accessories not only enhance performance but also ensure you’re ready to shoot right out of the box. Opting for a complete kit offers better value and compatibility between components.

 

Frequent Asked Question Best Crossbow with Rangefinder Scope

1. Do I really need a rangefinder scope on my crossbow?

Answer: While you can shoot a standard crossbow with a fixed-reticle scope (or even open sights), a rangefinder scope offers distinct advantages—especially for longer shots, shots at variable distances, or hunting in changing terrain.

• A rangefinder scope uses a built-in laser to measure the distance to the target and then presents an illuminated, distance-compensated aim point, reducing the need to “guesstimate” hold-over or drop.

• This improves shot confidence and ethical accuracy: you’re more likely to hit where you aim instead of missing because you misjudged range or angle.

• For hunters who engage at extended ranges (50-100 yards or more) or from elevated/tree stand positions where angle matters, a rangefinder scope helps make those shots practical.

• If most of your shots are always the same short distance (e.g., 20-30 yards), a standard scope might suffice—but if you want flexibility, a rangefinder scope is a strong upgrade.

2. What should I check to ensure my rangefinder scope + crossbow stay accurate over time?

Answer: Several factors affect long-term accuracy and maintaining zero. Here’s what to check:

• Mount stability: The scope must be mounted on a platform that won’t flex or shift under shot vibration. Good crossbows offer reinforced mounts, strong dovetails or struts, and vibration-dampening features.

• Quality optics: Fully multi-coated lenses, etched glass reticles, and clear distance readouts help ensure you get accurate aim points under varying light and weather conditions.

• Arrow and flight consistency: Even the best scope won’t compensate for erratic arrow flight caused by poor rest systems, rail-drag, or inconsistent nocks. Look for features like rail-less barrels, full-capture rests, and snap-in nocks.

• Regular maintenance: Check your scope mounts, rail condition, limb bolts, strings/cables, and nock engagement regularly. After heavy use, impact or vibration might loosen screws or shift the scope.

• Verification and zeroing: After you mount and sight in a rangefinder scope, verify at distance (not just at 20 yards) to make sure the aim point aligns where you expect. Re-check after rough transport or storage.

3. Is a shorter, compact crossbow any less capable when paired with a rangefinder scope?

Answer: Not necessarily — a compact crossbow can perform very well when properly engineered and paired with a capable rangefinder scope. Here’s what to consider:

• A shorter axle-to-axle width / shorter overall length helps in confined setups (tree stands, tight blinds) and improves maneuverability. But the design must still support high velocities and stable arrow flight — otherwise you lose performance.

• Many modern compact crossbows reach high FPS (400+), thanks to advanced riser and limb materials. What’s important is that the design compensates for any potential loss of stability due to shorter length or lighter weight.

• Pairing a quality rangefinder scope means you can engage at longer ranges even with a compact platform—so value lies in engineering, not size alone.

• If you carry your crossbow a lot, or move through dense cover, a compact model gives you an advantage—but make sure you’re not giving up the gear quality (trigger, rest, scope mount, arrow flight) necessary for long-range accuracy.

Conclusion

In conclusion best crossbow with a rangefinder scope combines precision, speed, and cutting-edge technology to elevate your hunting or shooting experience. By integrating advanced optical systems, quiet cocking mechanisms, and lightweight yet durable construction, it delivers consistent accuracy and performance in every shot.
