Wicked Ridge Invader Crossbow Overview

The wicked ridge m1 invader is the current production version of the Invader line from Wicked Ridge, TenPoint's more affordable and compact crossbow brand. The package ships in Peak Camo finish, rated at 390 FPS, and is built around TenPoint's ACUdraw De-Cock crank cocking system - a hand-crank device that also lets a hunter safely de-cock the crossbow without firing a bolt into the ground, which is the main safety argument for this model over a rope-cock-only package.

The standard tenpoint wicked ridge invader package includes a factory-mounted Pro-View 400 scope, the ACUdraw De-Cock crank, and a D-loop (D1) already installed. A second configuration - the Invader M1 scope bundle - adds further scope and accessory options for shooters who want more out of the box at setup. Both variants ship with the same core bow, so the decision between them comes down to how much you want bundled versus added separately.

At 390 FPS, the Invader M1 sits just below the 400+ FPS tier of the Commander and Warrior lines covered on our Wicked Ridge reviews hub, which makes sense given its role as an accessible, De-Cock-focused package rather than a flagship speed build.

Shoppers typing wicked ridge invader crossbow for sale or comparing invader crossbow bolts compatibility are usually hunters who want a crank-cocked, de-cockable crossbow without hand-cranking anxiety at full draw weight after a sit. The ACUdraw De-Cock is the headline feature here: it's built specifically so you're not stuck either firing a loaded bolt at the end of the day or leaving the bow cocked overnight.

• Pro: ACUdraw De-Cock lets you safely uncock after a hunt, not just cock
• Pro: Pro-View 400 scope and D-loop already mounted at the factory
• Pro: 390 FPS is competitive for a crank-cocked hunting package
• Con: Not the fastest in the current Wicked Ridge lineup - the RDX 410 and Fury 410 both post higher FPS
• Con: Crank cocking adds setup time versus a rope-cock-only bow
