![]() ![]() What you need to know now is how much power is behind each shot from the TenPoint Vapor. A bit reckless, but it was a beautiful sight to behold when I took the shot: the neck and head of the turkey were cleanly severed from the body by my shot, and the rest of the turkeys were baffled for a second before they scattered back into the woods. I took careful aim just beneath the neck, trusting the accuracy of the crossbow would still be as wonderful as it was during my range session.

Let me just say this: I had to replace the fletchings on several arrows because of how accurate this crossbow is! Once I had the scope sighted in, which only took a couple of shots, I was able to start testing the accuracy of the crossbow. I had to prop my target block up against an iron stake driven into the ground to keep it from being knocked over with every shot. This is a mighty powerful crossbow, which is surprising, given its small stature. The TenPoint Vapor flings arrows off the rail at 360 fps with 118 ft.
