Wicked Ridge Crossbow Models, Specs & Buying Guide
Which Wicked Ridge crossbow is which, what ACUdraw cocking option it ships with, and what to check before you buy. An independent reference - not affiliated with TenPoint Crossbow Technologies or Wicked Ridge.
ACUdraw cocking system by model
Most current Wicked Ridge crossbows ship with some version of TenPoint's ACUdraw crank cocking device built in, but the exact version differs by model and by package. The table below reflects what the current Amazon listing for each model actually includes - always confirm against the specific package you are buying, since Wicked Ridge sells more than one bundle for some of these bows.
| Model | Cocking system | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Invader M1 | ACUdraw De-Cock (crank) | De-cocks as well as cocks |
| Commander 400 | ACUdraw (crank) | |
| RDX 410 | ACUdraw Silent | Quieter crank for close shots |
| Fury 410 | ACUdraw De-Cock (crank) |
A rope cocker will work on any of these bows too - ACUdraw is a convenience upgrade, not a requirement. Full detail on cocking options and replacement cranks is on the cocking device page.

Common Questions
What Wicked Ridge shoppers and owners ask most often.
Who actually makes Wicked Ridge crossbows?
Wicked Ridge is a brand of TenPoint Crossbow Technologies, the same engineering group behind TenPoint-badged bows. Wicked Ridge models are generally positioned as more affordable than the flagship TenPoint line while sharing core technology such as the ACUdraw cocking system.
What does ACUdraw actually do?
ACUdraw is TenPoint's built-in crank cocking device. It replaces manually drawing the string by hand or with a rope cocker, cutting the effort needed and making the draw repeatable shot to shot, which matters for accuracy as much as comfort. Some packages add ACUdraw De-Cock or ACUdraw Silent variants - see the cocking device page for the differences.
Is my older Wicked Ridge model still supported?
Wicked Ridge rotates its lineup regularly, and names like the Raider, Ranger and several Invader and Warrior variants have gone through more than one generation. If your exact model is no longer on the current site, aftermarket bolts, strings and ACUdraw service parts generally remain available - see the legacy models page for what we know about older naming.
What bolts does a Wicked Ridge crossbow take?
Current Wicked Ridge and TenPoint packages are commonly built around 20-inch carbon bolts in the Match 400 family, in both lighted and non-lighted versions with Alpha-Nock style nocks. Full detail is on the bolts and arrows page - always confirm the length and nock type your specific model and package call for before buying loose bolts.
Can I use a broadhead with any Wicked Ridge crossbow?
Broadhead compatibility comes down to speed rating, not brand. Wicked Ridge sells its own Demise broadhead rated for crossbows shooting up to 430 FPS, and most fixed and mechanical broadheads rated for crossbow speeds will work as long as the rating covers your bow. See the broadheads page for more.
My crossbow won't fire. Is this a known problem?
A crossbow that won't fire is almost always the anti-dry-fire safety doing its job because a bolt is not seated correctly, rather than a fault with the bow. We have not confirmed a manufacturer recall tied to this symptom - check TenPoint's official support channel for your specific model, and see the troubleshooting page for the usual causes.
What is Wicked Ridge's warranty?
Because Wicked Ridge is a TenPoint brand, warranty service runs through TenPoint's own customer support rather than a separate Wicked Ridge program. Terms can vary by part and by when the bow was purchased, so confirm the current coverage for your model directly with TenPoint rather than relying on a generic number - see the warranty page for what to check.
Where can I buy a Wicked Ridge crossbow in person?
Wicked Ridge crossbows are carried by major outdoor retailers including Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops, alongside TenPoint's own dealer network. See the where to buy page for how to find a dealer near you.
How is Wicked Ridge different from TenPoint?
Both brands are built by the same company and share underlying technology like ACUdraw, but Wicked Ridge models are generally the more budget-friendly tier, while TenPoint-badged bows sit higher in speed and price. If you are cross-shopping, compare the specific models rather than the brand name alone.
What should I check before buying a used Wicked Ridge crossbow?
Inspect the string and cables for fraying, confirm the anti-dry-fire safety engages correctly, and check that the included scope and cocking device (if any) actually match what the listing claims - older private-sale bows are sometimes missing the original package contents.
Accessories Wicked Ridge owners reorder
Arrows, the ACUdraw cocking device, and broadheads are the items most Wicked Ridge owners end up reordering. Check current pricing on Amazon before you buy - listings change often.

About This Guide
Wicked Ridge is TenPoint Crossbow Technologies' compact and reverse-draw crossbow brand, positioned as a more affordable line under the same engineering group that builds TenPoint-badged bows. The lineup turns over from season to season - names like the Invader, Raider, Ranger, Rampage and Blackhawk have each gone through several revisions, and some of the older ones are no longer listed on the current Wicked Ridge site while plenty of them are still in the field.
That turnover is the gap this guide fills. It covers the current lineup alongside the models that search traffic shows people still own and still ask about, organised by what a shopper or owner actually needs: which package a model ships in, which ACUdraw cocking option applies, what bolts and broadheads fit, and where to check today's price. Specifications here come from the manufacturer's own published listings or from the product listing being described - where a figure isn't published for an older or less documented model, this guide says so rather than estimating one.
