Compatible arrows have a specific nock to lock into the trigger mechanism, with the front end sitting on ball bearings and a brush. The bow is lightweight, compact, fast, and accurate. The TriggerTech trigger has zero creep and breaks clean. The trigger also features a Dry-Fire-Preventor (DFP) and trigger block safety. The TRX 515 measures 29 inches long, 6 inches wide cocked, and has a 16-inch power stroke. A new ACUslide MAXX cocks or de-cocks the bow with 7.2 lbs of force.
