tenpoint has raised the bar with the new crossbow the phantom, with a 343 fps rating and a 17.5 wide stature its sure to give us all a raised eyebrow, i couldnt post the picture maybe digger or GaryL can help there,speed........

Where did you see, is it on any internet web site?

I went to the Tenpoint web site and they don't have it listed.

here it is. the bow assembly looks similar to the stryker and i'm sure will be priced like one to.

I sure don't like the looks of that one

and yes I am a TenPoint fan. However as far as xbows EXCALIBUR be at the top of the list

I agree! Somehow all the wheels & cables just don't seem all that impressive, and even the speed doesn't raise my eyebrows anymore. I'll stick with a crossbow that I can care for myself, and accuracy that can't be beat!

Looks like it is using Parallel limb technology like the Bowtechs and Mathews vertical bows.

As they say,beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I quite like the looks of it myself,but that being said,I am quite sure it will be priced higher than I would be willing to pay!

ALINALBERTA looks are deceiving, but that riser looks like it would weigh a TON

My TenPoint Stealth X-2 is heavy but I am quite sure not as heavey as that phantom ....

alos with a name like phantom it should be all black

then again phantom could mean "apparition"

i don't think it looks good either. i can't seem to develpo an interest in cams, cables and wheels. i'll stick to my little 150 lb. vixen. it can kill 'em dead and i love the simplicity !

Cost will be in the Pro Elite's $1400-$1700 range Total length is only about 1 inch longer than other ten point bows.

Looks super cool but I can't afford something like that.

With the number of times the cable cross' over it looks more like one of those finger, string games I played when I was a kid.

I couldn't afford it either Tye, but I see many advantages to hunting with it. I like sleek. Many times the turn around shot posses a problem because of the weith. With the leigth it will compensate for the string. I like it. I wounder if the noise is lesser or greater. I know my ten point is quiter than my Excal.
