The TenPoint TX 28 in Moss Green brings TenPoint's compact, rail-less TX platform down to a lower price, making it a 28-inch, 410 fps crossbow for hunters who need a short, narrow bow more than maximum speed. It is part number CB25004-1849, the Moss Green package with a black RangeMaster 100 scope and the built-in ACUslide MAXX crank. The TX 28 shares the TX 440's length, 6.5-inch cocked width, Twin-Riser, rail-less barrel and TriggerTech trigger. It runs a 250 lb draw weight instead of 300 lb, which brings speed to 410 fps and 153 ft-lb. That is plenty for whitetails and other big game at normal crossbow ranges.
The TX 28 comes in two finishes. This listing is Moss Green, which comes with a black scope. The Vektra camo version has a matching camo scope and its own part number and UPC. The RangeMaster 100 is a variable-speed scope with aiming points to 100 yards and is rated to 505 fps, so you can match it to the arrow weight you shoot. Three carbon arrows come in the box: CenterPunch HPX in early packages and ACU-X 20 in current ones. The ACUslide MAXX cocks the bow quietly and lets the string down safely, so there is no need to fire the bow to unload it.
Key features
- 28 in long, 6.5 in cocked: the same compact TX frame as the TX 440, sized for blinds, stands and thick cover.
- 410 fps, 153 ft-lb: from a 250 lb draw weight and a 12-inch power stroke.
- Rail-less ZERO-Trac barrel: the GUIDE-Lock rest holds the arrow on ball bearings under a retention brush, with no rail contact.
- TriggerTech trigger and AR-style safety: a 3 lb zero-creep break and an ambidextrous thumb safety.
- ACUslide MAXX: built-in crank cocking and safe de-cocking. The handle stops wherever you let go.
- RangeMaster 100 scope: a 100-yard variable-speed scope on TenPoint's ACU-Lock bridge.
