NEW TenPoint Flatline 460 Oracle X: Fastest Compact Crossbow Ever with Rangefinding Scope
TenPoint Crossbow Technologies recently launched the NEW Flatline 460 Oracle X. Featuring the Burris Oracle X Rangefinding Crossbow Scope, the Flatline 460 is the fastest compact crossbow the world has ever seen – launching arrows at 460 feet-per-second from a platform measuring only 26.5” short and 7.5” narrow.
“We are excited to team with Burris on the NEW Flatline 460 Oracle X – which takes long-range accuracy in a compact platform to a new level,” said Phil Bednar, CEO. “The entire system, including shorter 16-inch arrows, allows you to navigate the tightest spots without sacrificing speed or accuracy.”
The Burris Oracle X Rangefinding Crossbow Scope features a built-in laser rangefinder activated via the wireless remote. With the push of a single button, the Oracle X instantly ranges game up to 200 yards away.
Forget the days of “gap shooting” with multiple aim points and reticle patterns – the 2x-7x Oracle X displays the distance to your target and provides an exact aiming point factoring in the angle of your shot – leading to greater accuracy and more ethical shots at longer ranges than ever before. In addition, its reticle design allows for 20-yard aiming in the event of a battery failure. The Oracle X is backed by Burris’ “No Questions Asked” Forever Warranty.
The crossbow features a custom elevated cheek-piece for perfect eye-level alignment with the rangefinding scope, a NEW, longer dovetail (+1.5”), and NEW Scope Struts that provide a rock-solid foundation for scope mounting – leading to enhanced durability and long-range accuracy. The dual aluminum Scope Struts increase strength and rigidity by 80%.
At the heart of the Flatline’s speed and power are a patented reverse-draw bow assembly and a 14-inch power stroke. By reversing the bow assembly and changing the riser mounting position, the string’s resting position is extended farther down the rail, creating a 47% longer power stroke than a forward draw crossbow measuring the same length. This increased power stroke provides many advantages over forward-draw crossbows:
- Generates top-end speeds that no forward draw crossbow can match
- Generates more speed with less draw weight – creating a smoother, quieter shot with less shock and vibration
- Creates a longer nock-to-string engagement time during the shot – leading to greater accuracy
In addition, the center-mounted riser provides superior balance, eliminating the “nose heavy” feel of traditional crossbows and making it easier to hold steady, increasing the shooter’s accuracy.
The RX8-Cam system allows maximum rotation to produce speeds of 460 feet-per-second with the included 400-grain arrow. The crossbow’s revolutionary Vector-Quad cable technology utilizes four cables instead of the traditional two, which eliminates cam lean and generates straight-nock travel leading to same-hole down-range accuracy.
The 16-inch MICRO-TRAC barrel reduces string-to-barrel contact by 50% to provide increased accuracy and the longest string life in the industry – surpassing competitor crossbows by hundreds of shots.
The Flatline 460’s ultra-light, two-piece TEC-TACTICAL stock is built for comfort for shooters of all sizes and includes an adjustable butt plate that adjusts 1” to provide an ideal fit.
The Flatline 460 uses shorter, 16-inch EVO-X CenterPunch carbon arrows to complete the compact footprint. The advantages of this arrow extend beyond its compact footprint in the quiver and lack of overhang on the crossbow – the shorter arrow provides a flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift at longer ranges compared to a 20-inch arrow.
EVO-X CenterPunch 16 arrows weigh 400 grains and feature 17.5% FOC. Each arrow is inspected for straightness to within .001-inch, and each package is weight-matched to within 1 grain per arrow.
The patented ACUslide features the Auto-Brake Gear System, which separates TenPoint from all other de-cocking crossbows on the market. The patented Auto-Brake eliminates the potential of losing control during de-cocking, which can lead to injury or costly bow damage. While cocking and de-cocking with the ACUslide, the user can remove their hand from the handle at any point, with no other action required – and the handle will stop in place. In addition, while most crossbows crank cocking devices need 15+ lbs. of force to operate, the ACUslide requires only 5 lbs. of force, making it easy for people of all ages and abilities to cock the crossbow.
The Flatline 460 features the S1 trigger. This 2-stage, zero-creep design features an advanced roller-sear system that delivers a consistently crisp, 3.5-pound pull. The trigger is equipped with a DFI (Dry-Fire-Inhibitor) and is fitted with a nylon-filament arrow retention brush that improves arrow grip and alignment to reduce noise and vibration. An integrated string stop system is also included to reduce noise and vibration further.
The Flatline 460 is also equipped with the Sentry Bowhanger that allows the hunter to hang their bow in the stand easily and keeps the broadhead within the bow’s profile for use in a ground blind.
