We review the upgraded Ten Point Titan SS crossbow which has been an excellent buy for new and experienced crossbow hunters.
The Titan SS features the AcuDraw cocking mechanism with most packages available for sale. This self-retracting rope cocking device is easy to use. It can help reduce draw weight by up to 50 percent.
The AcuDraw rope draw system features an easy to use hand crank which folds out of the rear of the stock.

It’s an excellent system for bringing the Titan SS to full draw quietly and with far fewer movements. Crucial for tree stand hunting or when hunting in tight ground blinds.
While the Titan SS can be purchased without a crank style rope draw mechanism, if you plan to hunt from a tree or small ground blind or elevated box blind, consider it a must.
There is nothing worse then being up high in a tree stand or in a cramped hunting blind while struggling to draw your crossbow with a traditional foot stirrup rope draw device which often requires one to stand up.
All the movement is bad for stealth and can be dangerous when up in a tree.
The Titan SS xbow package also includes a 3-arrow instant detach quiver, 3X Pro-View 2 Scope, and Pro-Elite carbon arrows.
The 3x Pro-View Scope isn’t going to win any awards for clarity or light transmission, but it is certainly good enough to get the job done for shots out to 50 yards.
The scope is easy to adjust and seems to hold zero very well even after bumping the xbow around a bit.
The adjustable comb height, Fusion S stock, and two-position butt plate make this crossbow a must for hunters at any skill level.
The adjustable stock is an excellent feature as it allows the shooter to dial in the stock to the point where the crossbow shoulders quickly and efficiently while providing better eye relief when sighting through the scope.
Having stock adjustments is also a great feature to have when switching from warm hunting months to winter when bulkier clothing is worn.
The stock also allows for more natural transitions between younger and older shooters and shooters of different sizes.
The Titan SS is not a super compact crossbow like the Barnett Vengeance or Ten Point Stealth, but it’s also not nearly as expensive as these super compact crossbows are.
Think of the Titan SS as a high end starter xbow that is a great choice for beginners who want a solid package that is durable and will not require a ton of upkeep. While the Titan SS doesn’t shoot at blistering fast speeds, it is plenty fast and powerful to drill deer, elk and other large game animals out to 40 yards.
Some crossbow hunters report effective kills out beyond 50 yards with the Titan SS. While this is certainly possible, it’s important to remember that the amount of kinetic energy tapers off quickly when firing shorter crossbow arrows.
When a shot is taken past 40 yards a total pass through can be a risky proposition, and without a pass through shot there can be minimal blood loss which is never a good thing.
If you intend to shoot the Titan SS out beyond the 40 yard mark it is highly suggested you use standard broadheads ve mechanical broadheads.
Mechanical broadheads eat kinetic energy when they open upon impact. With kinetic energy already bleeding off at long distances, you don’t want the added burden of blades opening thrown into the equation.
Fixed blade broadheads are your best bet when hunting at ranges beyond 40 yards with the Titan SS xbow, especially if you are hunting larger game animals such as elk or moose with thicker hides that require more penetration for a complete pass through shot.
