![]() I've spent many years in and out of archery retail, and there is no debate that speed is the most commonly discussed feature of crossbows among shoppers. So, my objective for the in-store field test was to confirm that this bow maintained a high-end fit and feel, while providing competitive performance at 70% - or less - the cost of its $1,500-plus peers. Walking in the door of the shop, I knew that the one distinct factor that separated the Shadow NXT from other ultra-narrow competitors, or the Stealth NXT and Nitro X, was its introductory price tag of $1,099. Yet, this week I traveled to my local archery retailer to gather a field-tested opinion on the TenPoint model that is lingering behind the scenes and below the $1,500 price point, the Shadow NXT. ![]() The two flagships the Stealth NXT and Nitro X, have drawn most of the attention of the media, as they will perform nicely against any of the price points of the competitive offerings.

Brand new to market, Ravin Crossbows climbed to the top nearly overnight by introducing disruptive technology in two models with an ultra-thin profile of only six inches cocked. Unless you are a crossbow hunter that has been living under a rock for the last 18 months, it's no secret that the crossbow marketplace changed significantly in 2017.
