Our Favorite High-End Affordable Crossbows
We know that TenPoint Crossbows is at the top of the industry when it comes to technology, speed, accuracy, and quality crossbows. With that passion of excellence comes a respected price tag.
But for those who are seeking a crossbow that won’t break the bank but will still perform better than other budget crossbows out there, enters TenPoint’s Wicked Ridge brand. While all other affordable crossbow brands require a world map to show you where they are built, Wicked Ridge Crossbows are inspected, built, and tested by American workers before ever reaching your hands giving you the confidence to get the job done when it matters most. Wicked Ridge Crossbows are made in the U.S. and comes down the same assembly line as TenPoint Crossbows, with the same people who know the product and they know what they’re doing when they’re putting them together. In 2024 Wicked Ridge launched several new crossbows. In this article we are taking a look at our two favorites.
THE 2024 COMMANDER M1
The first new bow in the lineup is the Wicked Ridge Commander M1. Starting at $499, the Commander M1 shoots 380 feet a second when it’s cocked and is only 9.5” wide. Its compact profile means more mobility and more shot opportunities by reducing the chance for cam/limb contact in the stand or a blind. The Commander M1 weighs an ultra-light 5.8-lbs. and is available with the best-in-class built-in ACUdraw Cocking Device (optional) for effortless cocking, or with a lightweight stock with Rope-Sled, and is Built in America to deliver craftsmanship you can depend on.
Built to perform in tight shooting situations thanks to its narrow profile, the Commander M1 is equipped with a Multi-Line Scope and 3.5-lb. trigger. Plus, if you purchase it with the ACUdraw, the ACUdraw is fully integrated into the crossbow, so you never need to worry about forgetting your cocking rope!
THE NEW 2024 INVADER M1
The Invader M1 has been Wicked Ridge’s all-time best-selling crossbow at just $749. But now for 2024, it is 5.5” narrower, 2.5” shorter, and lighter than ever. Weighing an ultra-light 5.8 lbs. and measuring 9.5” narrow, the NEW Invader M1 is equipped with our best-in-class built-in ACUdraw Cocking Device that reduces draw weight to just 5 lbs. for easy & effortless cocking, a lighted Pro-View 400 scope, and is built in America to deliver craftsmanship you can depend on.
Shooting 390 FPS, the Invader M1 is built to perform in the tight confines of a stand or blind and the lighted scope features an enhanced reticle that provides a cleaner view for the shooter leading to greater down-range accuracy with reticles from 20-70 yards!
We understand your passion for hunting and that we all look for ways to stretch our dollar. For those who want to start taking their kid hunting, create more hunting opportunities to hunt, or maybe you physically are unable to draw back a bow, Wicked Ridge crossbows provides the Made in the U.S.A. craftsmanship you can depend on.
