TenPoint Wins Best in Crossbows for Fourth Consecutive Year and Best Innovator in Archery at Kinsey's Dealer Show

For 4 Years in a Row, Dealers Rank TenPoint as #1 in Crossbows — And TenPoint Wins Best Innovator in Archery for the Turbo X.

After launching the all-new 2026 Ultra Series, industry leader TenPoint Crossbow Technologies is proud to announce they have earned not one, but two prestigious honors at the 2026 Kinsey's Dealer Show:

To register for the Kinsey's Dealer Show, dealers are required to cast votes across eight award categories. These are not popularity contests or consumer polls — they are the collective, deliberate voice of the dealers who live and breathe this industry every single day.

"Being voted the #1 crossbow brand by dealers is among the greatest accolades a crossbow manufacturer can receive. Dealers know the crossbow category better than anyone — they are the ones who experience and understand firsthand the reliability of a brand, the responsiveness of a company's service and warranty support, and how well a brand is truly driving innovation year after year," said TenPoint CEO, Phil Bednar. "The fact that dealers continue to vote TenPoint #1 speaks volumes, and winning Best Innovator in Archery for the Turbo X only confirms that our team is truly moving the category forward. These awards are an incredible honor — and they only fuel our drive to keep building the finest, most innovative, and most reliable crossbows in the world, right here in Ohio."

The 2026 TenPoint lineup is anchored by the new Ultra Series, featuring the TRX Ultra at a blistering 515 FPS — the fastest crossbow ever built — along with the TX Ultra models, all engineered with Zero-Torsion Technology and ACU-X arrows that deliver 70% tighter groups at 100-yards.

"Our Dealer Choice Awards were created as a way for our dealers to recognize the brands and manufacturers that matter most to their success," said Rob Wallace of Kinsey's. "What it ultimately comes down to is trust — which manufacturers do dealers trust to consistently deliver the highest quality product, provide best-in-class dealer support, and develop innovative products that drive customers into their shops? The dealers have spoken, and it's no surprise to see TenPoint leading the way. They have long been a sterling example of business done the right way."

Founded in 1952, Kinsey's is widely regarded as one of the finest distributors in the outdoor hunting industry, serving more than 4,600 retailers nationwide. The company's annual Kinsey's Dealer Show brings together manufacturers and dealers to showcase and experience the latest outdoor products from leading brands.
