At the end of each X Tech limb, PSE has placed an oversized cam producing a 17 3⁄4-inch power stroke capable of launching a 425-grain, 16 1⁄4-inch arrow at a blistering 412 feet per second - producing up to 160 pounds of kinetic energy. The limbs, with the proprietary Vibracheck backstop, which dampens all string vibration, make the TAC-15 not only one of the fastest crossbow on the market, but one of the quietest. This system forces the limbs in an outward direction canceling each other out. Whereas, the TAC-15 eliminates friction and is more accurate because it allows us to tune the arrow for perfect flight." claims Shelby.Īll of this speed and power is developed through what PSE calls the X Tech limb system. Not only is this system inefficient, robbing the limbs of energy, but the system is hard to tune. Other manufacturers use a system that allows the string to slide along a rail.

"We have the technology and the ability to manufacture a crossbow unlike any on the market," says Shelby, "Using technology from our archery industry, we knew we could make a crossbow using a free floating arrow design (a nock, string loop, and arrow rest like a compound bow) to create a crossbow that was far superior to any on the market. The TAC-15 differs from standard crossbows in ways other than fitting on an AR lower. With more and more states allowing crossbows during their rifle season and many states expanding the use of crossbows during the regular archery season or holding a special season for the horizontal bow, it is time to look at crossbows in a new light. In addition, we introduced two self-controlled models that include trigger, safety, and buttstock for hunters who do not have an AR-15, but want the performance and accuracy offered by the TAC," says Shelby. For the predator hunter calling close to town, this upper is a natural. Many hunters already own AR lowers and now they can hunt with them during the archery season. Arrows are reusable so they don't have to pay as much to shoot. They can go out and practice trigger control and accuracy.

Shepley's engineers upped the ante by designing a crossbow that would fit onto an existing AR-15 lower receiver and incorporate its trigger and safety. Shepley challenged his designers to create a crossbow that looked like an AR-15. PSE owner, Pete Shepley, realized the potential for such a bow to match the rising popularity of the AR-15 and the equally soaring popularity of the crossbow.
