  3. Grady

    Best overall bow I’ve had the opportunity to use. Very fast, quiet, and accurate. I hunt Hog, Whitetail Deer.

  4. Tony k

    This is my 3rd and my best crossbow! I’ve owned a Horton legend 2, a ten point Titan and now a ten point viper. I’m a disabled person with limited use of my right arm and love hunting! I now have to shoot lefty and have built a hunting chair to support the crosstalk talk about accuracy wow! Can’t wait for deer season. I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  5. MJH69

    My first was a WR Ivader 8 yrs ago,Returement meant an Upgrade to get started TP was the obvious choice. The Viper meets sll my expectations , the cocking device was a learning curve but now its 2nd nature great Bow.

  6. Wesman

    Great arrows. I have killed several deer and a bobcat with them. I hunt Turkey, Whitetail Deer.

  7. Trauma Rob

    I purchased this as my first crossbow and was excited to use it for the upcoming hunting season. Set up and ease of use was exceptional. Unbelievably quiet and deadly accurate. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality and reliable crossbow. I hunt Western Big Game (Elk, Mule Deer, Pronghorn), Bear, Whitetail Deer, Moose.

  8. Elliott6609

    Overall, lightest, fastest, and most accurate crossbow i have ever owned. Great for white tail deer hunting. I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  9. Elliott6609

    Light weight, small frame, easy to carry, good scope would recommend to anyone. I hunt Hog, Whitetail Deer.

  10. Spikey Joe

    The bow is lightweight, the accudraw feature is super easy to use, and the accuracy is dead on! I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  11. Xarmy11b

    I’ve had a few crossbows but this one is amazing. Worth every penny too. It’s light compared to others. I hunt Hog, Turkey, Western Big Game (Elk, Mule Deer, Pronghorn), Whitetail Deer.

  12. Wildone

    I can’t say enough good things about this crossbow. It hasn’t let me down and has all the features you would need. I never thought I would hunt with one, but this is a true game changer and would highly recommend. There isn’t anything I would change and or add. Great crossbow and great customer service!

  13. WadeM

    I felt This model just has a perfect fit, balance and feel from the first moment you pick it up. It’s overall balance and compact design makes it a great fit for hunting in a tree stand or in a ground blind. It’s easy to hang from a bow hanger or hook while in a tree stand as well which is something that’s key to have when picking it up off a bow hanger silently to get a shot. The trigger is smooth and tinally It’s easy to cock and decock in the field, has a smooth trigger. I hunt Hog, Turkey, Whitetail Deer.

  14. Chip S

    The balance of speed, accuracy and reliability made my decision quite simple. The safety features of not only cocking, but de-cocking made for a pleasant experience. Made in America from a family owned company was simply icing on the cake. I hunt Hog, Whitetail Deer.

  15. DoubleD2125

    Great bow, easy to use with plenty of power! Love the cocking and de-cocking feature. I hunt Hog, Turkey, Whitetail Deer.

  16. jjd4

    “I got my hands on the Viper 430 before it was released to the public. I got it set up and sighted-in on Nov. 11 and moved in to hunt a target buck the following morning. After a long standoff with the buck, he finally gave me a brief moment to strike.

    The narrow profile was great for quietly maneuvering around my treestand/self-filming setup to line up the shot. The buck was walking when I shot, so the arrow speed definitely helped me send it home!

    The only improvement I could recommend would be a better quiver mount.” I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  17. GBuddy

    Hands down the most accurate and well built crossbow I’ve ever shot. Fast, accurate, easy to cock and decock and very safe. Shot a deer with it my first time out. Took maybe 3 or 4 shots to get the scope completely dialed in out of the box. Super impressed by this new bow. Compact and so solid. Really can’t think of one minor complaint. It was very well thought out by the engineers who built it. I hunt Hog, Turkey, Whitetail Deer, Other.

  18. kj94

    No pun intended on the title! This crossbow has all the things I’ve looked for in a crossbow at a solid price point compared to others I have looked into! I upgraded from the Viper S400 and am really impressed with the upgrades, especially the new scope. LOVE the new rangemaster 100, makes it easy to adjust when aiming in the field. The safety aspects of this bow made a huge impact on my decision as well! The AcuSlide Cocking and Decocking system is the BEST on the market and makes me feel comfortable not only when I am shooting but when I am teaching new shooters how to use a crossbow. The trigger takes a few shots to get used to but after practicing with it my accuracy was spot on. All around I would highly recommend this bow. It would make a great family bow.. easy for adults and children to use (adult supervision advised). PLUS I love supporting Made in America companies. I hunt Hog, Whitetail Deer.

  19. Archery Freak

    A bundle of power in a small lightweight package. Very fast and when called upon to make difficult long shots, meets the challenge! I absolutely recommend this product to anyone looking for the best. I hunt Turkey, Western Big Game (Elk, Mule Deer, Pronghorn), Whitetail Deer.

  20. Mborene

    Just got the viper 430 a couple of weeks ago ,and very happy with it. The crossbow is very easy to sight in and very easy to use.I can’t wait until this deer season!

  21. CQ morris

  22. JDB1

    Incredible speed and accuracy. Love the compact size. I hunt Bear, Whitetail Deer.

  23. Alison79

  24. Patpat 2

    “Love this bow to decocking is awesome
    👍
    Can’t wait till next year” I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  25. Mackattack

    I love my Viper 430. It’s light weight, and shoots as accurately as any bow I’ve ever owned. It’s easy to use and my 8 year old son is able to use it on a tripod. The ease of use when loading is unprecedented.

  26. Squatch02

    This bow is simply amazing. Accurate, fast, compact, what more could you want. Will literally stack arrows at any range. My only gripe is with the scope, the dots are hard to see, and basically have to use the illumination any time you shoot it and the first 3 dots are so close together, they almost blend together. That said, still a 5 star rating in my book. I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  27. Vinnykr

    I got the Tenpoint Viper and love how accurate it is and took my first buck ever with it this year in PA from 50 yds and made an absolute perfect shot, I never thought twice about the shot and had extreme confidence from that long distance it would hit where I was aiming. My buck only ran 40 yards and piled up. Love this crossbow. I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  28. JG2909

    Crossbow is light and accurate. Easy to sight in. Easy to teach my son on. Very sturdy, dropped it from a stand without any damage and had minimal impact on scope accuracy.

  29. Awacs751

    Good quality for a fair price. New and current innovations for consumers. I hunt Turkey, Whitetail Deer.

  30. Bourbon

    “Compact and extremely consistent!
    Decocking is really nice.” I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  31. Lippy

    It is the best built, fantastic to shoot crossbow. My friends hate me because of all the deer I have shot with this bow. I shot two deer after fast reloading twice now. A 70 yard shot no problem. I would go 100 yards without worrying about it. Plus very light weight for this old man of 72. (PS, I refuse to get old). I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  32. Gosberg

    Killed my elk over 70 yards center hard shot through and through. Walked 10 yards and dropped.

  33. DonD123

    The Acueslide system is safe and effective say to use. A very fast bow. I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  34. wirk52

    All around great crossbow, light weight, compact and fires strat. I hunt Hog, Whitetail Deer.

  35. Size matters

    All around light, accurate. Compact, don’t have to shoot it off. I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  36. Hawkeye 49

    Wicked ridge -speed , cocking device reverse curve. I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  37. canseeno

    This crossbow is a pleasure to hunt with. It’s light and compact which makes a huge difference when you’re saddle hunting. The ease and quietness of cocking and uncocking with out having to carry a block or decocking bolt is another great advantage. The accu slide is easy to use, my 10 year old has no problem using it. The fact that you can stop while doing both without fear of spooking game or busting your knuckles is also great. It’s also a tack driver and consistent using the center punch bolts. The safety is perfectly located and easy to find. Love the over all appearance of it as well, I always get comments on it. Carries great with a sling or strapped into my backpack. My only gripe is that I didn’t buy it sooner. I hunt Hog, Turkey, Whitetail Deer.

  38. Kiko

    Tenpoint crossbows have been my favorite since I first bought one years ago. The accuracy is almost perfect. It’s easy to load and the scope is high quality as well. It’s quiet which is a must for me. Not too heavy to carry to the stand. My 13 year old can even carry it perfectly fine. I hunt turkey and whitetail deer.

  39. Captain Magic

    I researched crossbows at length before purchasing the Tenpoint. I’ve hunted it exclusively for the last 4 years and have taken 2 deer with it each year. It is what Tenpoint says it is. No a single complaint 👍🏻. With all but one deer stuck with this bow have fallen in sight. Each and every product I’ve purchased from Tenpoint has met or exceeded expectations. I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  40. Don aaa27aaa

    Love it! Been shooting it for two years and am two for two in deer season. I hunt whitetail deer.

  41. KennyK

    Best tool in my hunting tool box. Speed and accurate. I hunt whitetail deer.

  42. Ronnie30pack

    Shot my 1st ever deer this year with my certified pre owned invader 400 I bought off the 10 point website , I had never shot a cross bow before, and this bow is unbelievably powerful my arrow when straight thru the deer at 25 yards , very accurate like shooting a rifle, and the accudraw draw is worth its weight in gold, my buddy was so impressed he bought one right after shooting mine . Great quality made right here in ohio, I’m glad I bought a quality bow for my 1st it should last me for years to come. I hunt whitetail deer.

  43. Duda

    Light weight, very fast, mounted Garmin xero on it and easily shot deer at 80 yards. I hunt Turkey, Whitetail Deer.

  44. Rob Davis

    I received my viper 430. It is a great looking crossbow. I havent shot it yet , have to wait until the weather warms up. I ordered extra bolts, wax ,lube, sling and case. The shipping was extremely fast and the products look great. I am sure this viper 430 will perform extremely well and will live up to tenpoint’s reputation! I hunt Bear and Whitetail Deer.

    What a beautiful machine ! Right out of the box exceeding expectations. Excellent !! I hunt whitetail deer.

  47. father10

    I have had only experiences with Ten Point Crossbows. It started with my Father-In-Law having open heart surgery some 18 years ago. He could no longer use a Compound Bow so I extensively researched various crossbows and found Ten Point was top of the line. The cocking system on his Ten Point Titan was exactly what the doctor ordered. Fast forward about ten years and I decided to get my own crossbow. I only looked at Ten Point because I knew the quality was outstanding. I bought a Ten Point Crossbow for my own use. It was fast and accurate. In 2020 I decided to buy a new reverse limb crossbow for better shooting balance in my hands. I chose a Ten Point Vapor RS 470 and it is an amazing crossbow. I was using my Ten Point during this recently completed Whitetail Deer season when I shot my first ever deer with a Cross Bow and it was with my Ten Point Vapor. It wasn’t a trophy by any scoring standards but for my first Cross Bow kill it was a trophy to me! I hunt whitetail deer.

  48. Aty1711

    Took a second to figure out as it was my first crossbow but once I got it down, it shot fantastically.

  49. Bonsai

    I purchased the Ten Point Viper 430 from Wilcox Bait and Tackle in Newport News,Va. I have to say it was love at first shot . What can I say about the Quality and Accuracy of this Crossbow right out of the Box. I would recommend the Viper 430 to anyone looking for a great Crossbow. Can’t wait for the 2023 Season. I hunt whitetail deer.

  50. Beat

    Just purchased it in January to hunt with this coming deer season. It only took 3 shots to sight in. I hunt Whitetail Deer.

  51. jamiec17

    sighted my viper 430 in today, the trigger is light i love it, shooting the pro elite’ arrows it came with average weight with 100 grain tip is 408 gns., first 5 shots averaged 430 fps. after 10 to 12 shots it averaged 428 fps., uping the arrow weight to 430 gns. 417 fps. average. 454 grain arrow i got 408 fps. on average, this crossbow is very accurate as for the sound it’s pretty quite for a crossbow, upgraded from a excalibur grizzly shooting 290 fps., love my new viper 430 so far time will tell, but i’ll right another review when i get more shooting time in. i recamend this crossbow, customer service is exellent to. the only negative for me so far is wheni get about half way up it feels like more than 5lbs to cock it fully the closer ya get the harder it is, but may it’s because the cocking handle does’nt extend like the viper 400s, i also with wish ya could be able to release the reciever from the string like the viper 430. I hunt turkey, bear, and whitetail deer.

  52. Mike 666

    Very easy to install and inexpensive. Not sure why it doesn’t just come from factory with ambidextrous safety? I’m a right hand shooter and it’s more intuitive for me to operate the safety from left side, plus I can quickly see if it’s in Fire or Safe position with less movement. I hunt turkey, bear, whitetail deer, other

  53. Matt77

    New to Tenpoint crossbows. Been wanting one for awhile, finally picked one up. Decided on the Viper 430. Very glad I did definitely worth it. Very fast and accurate. Looking forward to hunting with it.

  54. Dustin92

    The viper 430 is absolutely perfect it meets all my expectations and more. Highly recommend it 👌. I hunt whitetail deer.

  55. BCART

    Fast, accurate, best cocking -decocking system out there. I hunt Bear, whitetail deer.

  56. None in many years

    I love it!! The safety features are the BOMB! Would recommend to all hunters.

  57. Jim Hambright

    I purchased the Viper 430 for competition target shooting and I could not be more satisfied with the performance. The crossbow is light weight, easy to load and extremely accurate. The scope comes dialed in from the factory, but I purposefully changed the settings and recentered the scope at 50 yds. It only took 6 bolts and after 3 months of weekly shooting, I have not had to make any major adjustments from there. The cocking/decocking mechanism is well designed, fairly quick and very quiet. I especially appreciate the crank brake safety feature where I can stop at any position and the crank holds its position. In my opinion, this crossbow is an exceptional value for the money.

  58. NO NAME2023

    Just got my first TenPoint crossbow. A Viper 430. Read the manual/literature that came with the bow. Mounted the scope at a comfortable eye relief. I applied TenPoint wax and lubricants according to the instructional video found at TenPoint’s website. Set my crossbow target at a random distance (later measured to be 18 yards) and shot my first bolt. I hit the 1-inch dot I was aiming at. Need I say more? I’m using 64+ year old eyes and I was sitting on steps with my left elbow resting on my left knee; otherwise holding freehand. Thanks to the folks at TenPoint. This is one bad machine.

  59. WingshotNY1

    Love the bow. Excellent build and value for the money, and it shoots lights out. Black Street Archery, where I purchased the bow, is the best shop I’ve ever been to.

Why Equalizing the Weight of Non-Lighted Arrows is Important

When choosing Firenock lighted nocks you have an option use the weight match nock system.

There is roughly a 23 grain difference when adding Firenock lighted nocks. It can result in lower impacted points at distances of 30 yards and beyond, and also change your front of center percentages.

There is a simulated weight that attaches to your nock just the same as the lighted nock that will make all of the nocks weigh the same. This will ensure your arrows all fly the same.
