TenPoint Stealth 450 Crossbow
The Stealth 450 is one of the TenPoint models buyers ask about most, and this page pulls together what it is, what ships in the package and how it fits into the wider lineup. It is a crossbow rated at an advertised 450 FPS. It uses the ACUslide cocking system, which lets you de-cock the bow under control without firing a bolt.

What the Stealth 450 is
The number in the name reflects TenPoint's advertised speed rating, and the Stealth 450 sits in the range accordingly. Speed is only part of the picture though - weight, axle width, the cocking system and the scope that comes with it decide how the bow actually hunts. This package pairs the bow with the EVO-X Marksman scope, calibrated to its speed.
Because TenPoint sells most bows as complete packages, the exact contents vary by listing - some bundles add extra arrows, a case, or a rangefinding optic in place of the standard scope. Read the listing title before you buy so you know which configuration you are getting.
Cocking and de-cocking
The ACUslide is the part that changes the day-to-day experience most. It reduces the effort of cocking to a fraction of the draw weight and, just as importantly, cocks the string the same way every time - and consistent cocking is what keeps your groups tight. Because it also de-cocks, you can unload the bow at the end of a sit without shooting a bolt into a discharge target. If safe de-cocking matters to you, that is the headline feature here.
Whichever system your bow has, our de-cocking guide and cocking, loading and shooting guide walk through the steps.

Scope and package options
The scope on any TenPoint package is matched to the bow's speed, so its aiming points line up at known distances once you confirm your zero. Swapping it for a different optic means re-sighting from scratch. If you are choosing an optic separately, match it to this model's advertised speed rather than picking on magnification alone. Our scope sight-in guide covers the yardage lines and reticle setup, and the scopes hub lists the current TenPoint optics.
Bolts and accessories that fit
Feed the Stealth 450 the arrow it was tuned around. TenPoint's current forward-draw bows are built for a 20-inch carbon arrow, and matching arrow length, total grain weight and nock type to the bow is both an accuracy and a safety issue - a nock that does not seat against the string is how a dry-fire happens. See which bolts fit on the bolts hub, and the broadheads and cocking aids on the accessories hub.
