Wicked Ridge RDX 410: The Flagship of the Value Line
The RDX 410 is Wicked Ridge’s top model, using the Acudraw Silent cocking system to hit 410 FPS — genuinely competitive speed for a crossbow at this price point, and quiet cocking that matters for a hunter who needs to stay concealed while setting up a shot.
Invader M1 and Commander M1: Entry-Level Hunting Crossbows
The Invader M1 and Commander M1 use Wicked Ridge’s standard Acudraw cocking system at 380-400 FPS, aimed at hunters who want a straightforward, reliable crossbow without paying for the RDX 410’s silent-cocking upgrade. Both are a practical entry point into crossbow hunting or a dependable backup bow.
Why Choose Wicked Ridge Over TenPoint?
Since Wicked Ridge shares TenPoint’s engineering and safety philosophy, the main tradeoff is speed and premium features (like ACUslide) rather than build quality — a hunter prioritizing budget over the absolute top-end FPS numbers gets a genuinely comparable hunting tool. For hunters who want TenPoint’s flagship performance instead, see Impact Guns’ dedicated TenPoint page.
Cases and Accessories: Protecting Your Crossbow in the Field
Wicked Ridge’s Ambush soft case and bowpack are sized specifically for the brand’s crossbow lineup, giving practical storage and field transport without needing to hunt down a universal case that may not fit a crossbow’s wider profile.
