Mogadore, OH. -- TenPoint Crossbow Technologies®, an industry leader in crossbow technology and performance, is pleased to announce that the Carbon Nitro RDX has been chosen to receive Field & Stream's "Best of the Test" Award. The Field & Stream "Best of the Test" awards program is designed to find and honor the absolute best new and innovative products in hunting and fishing each year.
Editors Scott Bestul & Will Brantley noted, "At just 10 inches axle-to-axle, the RDX was certainly the handiest when cocked. Combine that with plenty of power, and impeccable fit and finish (not to mention very good looks), and the numbers added up to Best of the Test honors."
The Carbon Nitro RDX is one of four new crossbows from TenPoint in 2016 and features their wrapped carbon fiber barrel and a carbon-fiber-infused polymer stock. The 20-inch wrapped carbon fiber barrel dramatically reduces weight, noise, and vibration. It is equipped with a 4 ½-inch bullpup version of the company's 3 ½-lb. T3™ auto-engaging safety trigger housed in a lightweight machined aluminum trigger box. Its weaver-style dovetail is fitted with a nylon-filament arrow retention brush that improves arrow grip and alignment to further reduce noise and vibration. The three-piece C3™ stock also reduces weight, vibration, and noise, and is fitted with an adjustable cheek piece (comb) and butt plate to create perfect eye-level alignment and length-of-pull.
The ultra-narrow RDX bow assembly measures 10-inches axle-to-axle when cocked. Its machined, lightweight aluminum riser is fitted with TenPoint's Over-the-Top limb pocket and Zytel® Limb Suspension System that both separates and isolates the limbs from direct contact with the riser to reduce sound and vibration. The bow assembly's 13-inch 165-pound limbs are powered by the bow's custom RDX Cam System™ and DynaFLIGHT 97 string and cables.
The bow and stock assemblies combine to create a perfectly balanced precision hunting machine that weighs 7.8-pounds, measures only 34.25-inches long, and shoots a supercharged 385 feet per second.
"We are honored that Field & Stream has chosen TenPoint for this prestigious award," said TenPoint CEO Rick Bednar. "We are constantly pushing technology, design and performance to the next level and the Nitro is yet another example of this."
Carbon Nitro RDX MSRP: $1,599 with Dedd Sled 50 or $1,799 with ACUdraw.
TenPoint Crossbow Technologies is 100% USA owned, operated, and manufactured in Mogadore, OH.
