Great bow for all those with a little age and less strength or disabilities and anyone else as well. Accurate bow helping extend my love for bow hunting for deer. Recommend for anyone.

Fantastic crossbow but has a few issues. Trigger pull does not feel like two stage, I used my trigger pull gauge and the pull is almost 7 pounds, making this a VERY heavy trigger pull. Second issue is the acudraw device. The two hooks that pull the string back are too sharp and appear to actually be damaging the string. Lastly, ten point needs to create a new instruction manual... this instruction manual has like 5-7 different crossbow models in it.

The cocking device is not working as it should. The gear release is not engaging but I can still make it work well enough. Can't send back until after bow season. Difficult to find arrows.

Let me start by saying this is my first crossbow. I have been bow hunting for 30 years with a compound bow. That being said, here are my thoughts and opinions about this crossbow. It is Easy of use. Sled draws back string as you crank. Nice. If you decided not to release a bolt (arrow), you can easily de cock the string using the sled and the crank.
Main reason I bought this model bow was for that reason. ( safety minded).
All that works great once you practice loading and de cocking.
Now, This is what I do not like about this xbow. Noisy to load and loud when you fire it. Not sure if that is a problem with all x bows. Also, loading a 2nd bolt after a shot is noisy an time consuming..
Not sure if that is also the situation with all xbows.
Conclusion, I prefer my compound bow but, when my shoulder acts up this is my go to weapon of choice during Archery season. It's fast and accurate
One last thought, It is a lot more accurate for me at distances beyond 30 yards.
Love the scope.

Shoots accurately and is relatively light and mobile for a crossbow. Cock and Decock systems take some practice. Claw does NOT easily lock in storage location and rattles/loosens during transport. Gear stop button does not physically depress confusing whether engaged or not. Hand rubs against bolts in quiver when cranking.

Trigger not good ,you pull and pull and pull ,then try and guess when its going to fire.
Should of been sold with string dampeners ,pretty noisy. other than that ,not to bad.

disappointed in trigger feel. I'd return it if I could. My first and last xbow! Decock feature is nice and what caused me to purchase this one.

Bought this bow as an upgrade to my Stryker Offfspring. The cocking device and De-Cock work well. The online video help is very useful. The two stage trigger is OK, not as crisp as the two-stage on my rifles. Accuracy is good, the scope that comes with the crossbow is not very good and the crosshairs are very thick. The glass is clear, but there seems to be some parallax distortion in it. Once cited in the distance marks in the scope seem to be fairly accurate. The crossbow feels good shouldered and is overall easy to shoot.

the screws on the adjustment knobs were loose. i wanted to buy the up graded scope but could not. was not listed as option. The recoil on cocking does not allways work.after the scope was fixed was very accurate.

Very easy to draw, only took about 4 shots to sight in. Easy to operate. Can't wait to hunt with it

First crossbow at 76 years young and bagged a doe on the fourth day of my hunt. The Wicked Ridge performed as expected. I am very satisfied.

Love the bow & accuracy & easy to cock. The decock doesn’t work, probably my error but I’ve read the directions & it’s not engaging & locked up. I can still load it, but have to shoot a bolt to un cock it

Great crossbow that that is priced right for the everyday hunter. Love the De-cock feature

like it very much. scope wouldnt adjust properly but was quickly replaced by Ten Point.

Nice bow, needs some tolerance control . De-cocking / cocking sled does not fit tightky in slot, rattles

Great crossbow for the money and built right here in the good ol’ USA!!. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

It's been excellent thus far when target shooting. Still waiting to pull the trigger on a deer. I love the de-cock feature; however de-cocking the bow doesn't go exactly as illustrated in the video. I've not had any problem de-cocking after a sit in the woods. The only other thing I've found is I often have to insert the crank handle in order to move the de-cock knob into position. Again...not a problem; I just can't always do it with my fingers as illustrated. The gear stop button is useful when de-cocking, but not so much when turning the de-cock knob. Overall, I'm very satisfied so far. Now if I can just get a chance to squeeze one off this fall!

It's very accurate. Shoots very hard.l definitely would buy another one.

While the Dr-Cock system is great, the cover and storage design is loud.

The decock mechanism defective very loud clucking noise
