Aventuron owner Carl Martens and shop manager Anton Pohl attended the 2020 ATA Trade Show in Indianapolis. Unfortunately (for you) Kathryn and baby Mack stayed home. Kathryn is usually behind the camera and the boys forgot to charge the DSLR battery, so this video was taken with Carl's iPhone.
In the video TenPoint's Vice President of Sales, Randy Wood demonstrates the NEW ACUslide featuring TenPoint’s groundbreaking Auto-Brake Gear System, which allows for SILENT cocking and SAFE and CONTROLLED de-cocking. The Auto-Brake Gear System ELIMINATES the potential of losing control which can lead to injury or costly bow damage during the de-cocking process. While 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 SAFELY hold in place.
The ACUslide cocking and de-cocking system is a game changer. This really puts TenPoint crossbows at the forefront of crossbow technology. Not only did TenPoint improve the cocking system, but the quiver got a makeover as well. In addition a new trigger, new crank handle, new rail...they didn't just add features to existing bows, they redesigned their top three bows. TenPoint hit a grandslam.
The new ACUslide cocking and de-cocking system is offered on the following new 2020 TenPoint crossbow models:
TenPoint Vapor RS470
TenPoint Vengent S440
TenPoint Viper S400
Why TenPoint made this new cocking and de-cocking system:
Rick Bednar, CEO, states, “We were asked by our customers to deliver new crossbow designs in the TenPoint line that redefine performance, maneuverability, and accuracy. Above all else, though, our customers asked us for the ability to safely de-cock their crossbow without firing an arrow. We have always committed ourselves to building the safest crossbows on the market, and, while de-cocking is not a new concept to the crossbow market, the silent ACUslide is the FIRST and ONLY SAFE OPTION to de-cock a crossbow with a crank. The ACUslide cocking system is the best cocking and de-cocking system available today. It is functionally superior to all other de-cocking options in every aspect –it is SILENT, SAFE, and EASY-TO-OPERATE.”
