Tenpoint Tx Ultra 26.5 Oracle Acuslide Maxx

The TenPoint TX Ultra 26.5 Oracle ACUslide MAXX is the shortest forward-draw crossbow TenPoint has ever built, purpose-designed for hunters who need maneuverability without sacrificing accuracy. At just 26.5 inches in length, this compact crossbow excels in ground blind hunting and run-and-gun situations where space is tight and quick repositioning matters. Paired with the Burris Oracle X rangefinding scope and TenPoint's proprietary ACUslide MAXX cocking system, it bridges the gap between ultra-compact dimensions and precision long-range performance—delivering 410 FPS with the repeatability and reliability expected from a rifle-grade hunting tool.

Every component of the TX Ultra 26.5 is engineered for consistency and accuracy. The Zero-Torsion Technology foundation combines new 8 mm axles (175% stronger and 215% stiffer than standard) with new X-Wide limbs (20% wider and 120% stronger) to eliminate flex along the limb axis and ensure arrow flight stays true. Twin-Riser Technology—featuring symmetrical top and bottom plates—reduces riser flex by 18% relative weight while doubling stiffness, generating repeatable arrow groups at distance. The rail-less ZERO-Trac barrel design removes weight and friction, letting arrows travel straight through the centerline for cleaner accuracy.

The trigger is a TriggerTech Precision unit with Frictionless Release Technology (FRT) that breaks clean and predictable. An AR-style ambidextrous thumb safety keeps both hands on the bow. The ACUslide MAXX handles cocking and de-cocking silently and safely, with a locking mechanism that holds your hand position if you need to pause mid-draw. An upgraded premium string and new ACU-X arrows (with snap-on nocks and spine-indexed carbon shafts built to ±0.001 straightness) round out a package designed to shoot 3-inch groups at 100 yards and maintain string life 200% longer than previous generations.

This is a serious compact hunting crossbow—ideal for late-season blinds, treestands where conventional bows feel cumbersome, or overlanding and backcountry hunts where gear footprint matters. If you've outgrown the traditional trade-off between short and accurate, the TX Ultra 26.5 is worth a hard look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the TX Ultra 26.5 really short enough for ground blind and treestand hunting?

Yes—at 26.5 inches long and 7 inches wide when cocked, this is TenPoint's shortest forward-draw crossbow ever. It's designed specifically for confined spaces like ground blinds and tight treestands where full-size crossbows feel unwieldy. Maneuverability and quick repositioning are core design goals.

What scope is included, and does it have rangefinding?

The package includes a Burris Oracle X rangefinding scope, which integrates distance measurement into your aiming solution. The scope mounts to the ACU-Lock Scope Bridge (25x stronger than traditional rails) for maximum stability.

What's included in the box?

You get the TX Ultra 26.5 crossbow, the Burris Oracle X rangefinding scope, the ACUslide MAXX cocking and de-cocking system, a 3-pack of TenPoint ACU-X 20 premium carbon arrows with snap-on nocks, an integrated string stop, a quiver, and a bow hanger.

How does the ACUslide MAXX cocking system work, and is it safe?

The ACUslide MAXX is a patented cocking and de-cocking system designed for silent operation and safe handling. You can remove your hand at any point during the draw, and the handle locks in place—no accidental release. It's stronger and smoother to operate than earlier TenPoint designs.

Can I shoot this crossbow left-handed?

The crossbow features an AR-style ambidextrous thumb safety, allowing you to operate the safety from either side. For questions about full left-handed configurability, contact our team directly.
