Top 5 Beginner Crossbows for Hunting

Designed for the hardcore hunter who wants a smaller footprint to maximize shooting opportunities, but isn’t willing to sacrifice speed or accuracy, the TenPoint Flatline 460 Crossbow Package shoots a blistering 460 feet-per-second and delivers unrivaled long-range accuracy.

The Flatline 460 maximizes accuracy and durability with NEW Scope Struts and a longer dovetail that increases strength by 80-percent. This combination provides a rock-solid foundation for your scope to deliver long range accuracy and “bulletproof” in-the-field durability. The NEW longer dovetail allows for more scope adjustments, heavier scope options, and provides the strength of a full-length rail without the added weight.

Featuring a perfectly balanced reverse-draw platform that is unmatched in its ability to produce speed and power, the Flatline 460 is equipped with a 2-stage, zero-creep S1 Trigger that delivers a consistent crisp, 3.5-pound pull.

Not only does the Flatline de-cock, it de-cocks safely – separating TenPoint from other crossbows on the market. While other crossbows on the market can be de-cocked, the patented ACUslide on the Flatline 460 eliminates the potential of losing control during de-cocking which can lead to injury or costly bow damage. If your hand innocently slips off the handle, the handle stops in its place.

The Flatline 460 will change the way you hunt – giving you the freedom and mobility to go further, while packing a stand or the gear you need to ultimately make you a more successful hunter. Crossbow Hunting Package
