CenterPoint Tyro and XR175

CenterPoint's own owner's manual for the Tyro prints "Compound Crossbow" on its cover, but the specification table a few pages later lists it plainly as "System: Single Limb, Recurve" - the only crossbow covered on this site that is not a true compound. Both the Tyro and the XR175, a nearly identical package sold under a separate retail name, share the headline numbers that matter for buying parts: a 175 lb draw weight, up to 245 FPS, and a 16 inch bolt - four inches shorter than the 20 inch bolt every other model on this site takes.

That shorter bolt is the one detail to get right before ordering anything for either bow. The cranks and 20 inch strings covered on the cocking device and strings pages are built for CenterPoint's compound line and do not apply here.

Those numbers are close enough that the Tyro and XR175 are clearly the same CenterPoint recurve platform sold under two retail names - the kind of rebrand this site has already documented with the Dagger 390, sold elsewhere as Sniper 390 and Mercenary 390. What is not confirmed here is that they are the exact same physical bow: published width, length and mass weight differ by enough (23" vs 26" cocked, 5.0 lb vs 5.5-5.75 lb) that this page treats them as close siblings rather than claiming an identical match without a side-by-side bow in hand. If you own one, match parts to the exact figures your bow shipped with rather than assuming the other name's numbers apply.

XR175 listings state plainly that it is "not compatible with crank cocking devices" and ship with a rope cocker as the only cocking method. That is a function of the recurve limb geometry, not an oversight - the compound limbs on the rest of CenterPoint's range are what make a crank like the Power Draw Crossbow Crank useful and safe to use. On the Tyro and XR175, the rope cocking device that ships with the bow is the intended method, full stop.

Every other model covered on this site takes a 20 inch bolt. The Tyro and XR175 take 16 inches at roughly 420 grains, and CenterPoint does not sell a branded 16 inch bolt on Amazon for either model. Aftermarket 16 inch aluminum bolts cover the gap - check the length against your bow before ordering, since a 20 inch CenterPoint bolt bought for every other model on this site simply will not fit.

CenterPoint's official Tyro manual states a 5 year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship - longer than the two years documented on this site's general CenterPoint warranty page for the rest of the lineup. The exclusions are the same as everywhere else: strings, cables and accessories are not covered, and registration and normal maintenance are still required. Treat the 5 year figure as specific to this manual revision rather than a blanket CenterPoint policy, and confirm it against your own registration card if you are relying on it.
