Wicked Ridge Crossbow Cocking Device

ACUdraw is the cocking device most associated with wicked ridge crossbow with acudraw packages - a built-in crank mechanism designed to make cocking accessible for shooters of nearly any age or strength level, since it mechanically multiplies the force you apply rather than requiring a full-strength manual draw. Most current Wicked Ridge crossbows ship with ACUdraw already integrated into the stock rather than as an add-on.

For models without integrated ACUdraw, or as a backup/travel option, TenPoint's Rope Sled and ACUsled both reduce cocking effort by roughly half compared to a bare-handed draw. The ACUsled is the more portable, retractable version, convenient for hunters who want a compact cocking aid that doesn't live permanently on the stock. One compatibility note worth flagging: both the Rope Sled and ACUsled are explicitly listed as not compatible with the Nitro X, a specific high-end TenPoint flagship model unrelated to the Wicked Ridge lineup - this caveat applies to that one TenPoint model, not to Wicked Ridge crossbows.

If your wicked ridge crossbow crank handle wears out or breaks, a generic replacement crank handle built to work with both ACUdraw and ACUdraw PRO systems is available separately rather than needing to replace the entire cocking mechanism. This is the most common single-part replacement for crossbows that have seen a few hunting seasons of regular use.

Owners of an Invader M1 or Warrior 400 with integrated ACUdraw typically only need the replacement crank handle if a part wears out - there's no need to buy a separate standalone cocking aid. For older Wicked Ridge models without a built-in crank, a Rope Sled or ACUsled is the practical upgrade path, just confirm compatibility with your exact model before buying.
