Page 29 - Wicked Ridge Invader 400 Reviews

First crossbow and couldn't be more happy. Fast and awesome!!!

Best crossbow and easy to use in treestand or in huts. Love it.

Excellent buy. Reasonable price for what you get. Ten point quality. I bought the lighted knocks and they keep falling out. Took them out and put original knock back in. Very accurate crossbow.

Almost as accurate as a rifle. Extremely consistent 1" groups at 30yds

Nice 8 point first time out!

Listen to the instructions on care and operation. Especially on the use of the pulley

This is the bow I wanted. I knew I wanted a Tenpoint product due to their reputation of quality and the lifetime warranty. I decided the Invader 400 was the bow for me. I decided I would get the Aucudraw. I’m very glad that I did. It is so easy to use. The first time I shot the bow at the indoor range it was only three inches high at thirty yards and one inch off center. Only took six shots to dial it in and was dead on at forty yards. I only shoot from thirty yards in. Wicked Ridge Invader 400 is a bow you should check out. Quality made at a great price.

Amazing bow right out of the box. The speed allows me to use the top scope pin out to 30 yards. I was able to take a large doe on my first hunt with this bow !

This bow is amazing quiet fast and tack driving accuracy i had a killer instinct no comparison tenpoint has gained a customer for life great product and awesome custome support

This is a great crossbow & have had 0 issues since purchased. Was easy to sight in and is very accurate. I harvested my first ever archery deer with it.

Love the crossbow, it’s great to shoot, very happy with it. Only drawback, was the scope, after the first shot, I tried to dial it in and the dials wouldn’t turn, they were like soldered on; which I had to go and buy a new scope right away just so I could get it dialed in and get into the woods to hunt.

It’s the best and smoothest shooting crossbow I’ve ever shot. Hands down for the money you can’t beat it.

Very good bow, just what I wanted. Accurate out of the box. Nice scope.

Excellent quality crossbow, I used it for the entire hunting season in 2020 instead of switching to muzzleloader like prior season. Very accurate and hits very hard.

Great cross bow for the money! Shoots extremely fast and consistent. Out of the box it shot to the left a bit. Made adjustments and it shoots accurate and consistent. Already killed one deer this season. Only complaint is that it’s pretty loud when shooting. I bought the dampening kits and it did reduce the sound some but if you are taking a long shot be aware that it is loud. Otherwise I’m pleased with the purchase

This is my first crossbow and seems to be a great value. However, I have had some setbacks with it. The first hunt of the season, I was packing the bow in with a sling I lost the cranking tool/wrench when going through the brush. Also, two of the alpha nocks fell out. I was unable to find any of these items when backtracking. Therefore, the first hunt of my season was wasted. I couldn't even draw the bow without the cranking mechanism.

I take partial blame for not being more gentle with the bow and quiver with arrows, but I expected it to be more rugged. I haven't ordered a new cranking tool yet. It's disappointing to spend ~$800 on the setup and then have to spend another $30 for the tool replacement and $10 for more alpha nocks. In the meantime, I've used a ratchet and 1/4" socket for a cranking tool to hunt the remainder of this season.

Also, I'd shot the bow probably less than 100 times and the rollpin inside the Acudraw mechanism came loose. I was on the way in to hunt this time as well, so I had to remove the screws with my knife and push the pin in far enough to engage the cocking mechanism. Pretty inconvenient and unexpected for a brand new bow but fixed it when I returned home. Killed a buck during this hunt.

Overall, it's a lightweight, well-balanced, accurate, and fast crossbow with a smooth cocking mechanism (when it's not falling apart). Just not a fan of the location of the cranking tool or the alphanocks. Would like to see carbon bolts offered instead of aluminum too.

I purchased the bow in August and have been practicing in sneakers or light hiking boots. I just put on hunting boots to practice again the night before the NY crossbow opener. I have the larger "Standard" stirrup but there is no way get to insulated hunting boot into that stirrup securely enough to cock the bow. I can barely get the tip of the toe in there and twice now it's slipped out and butt has shwacked me in the chest. Really poor thought process and design on the stirrup.

Very nice shooting crossbow. Soon after I got it the acu draw crank stopped working so it no longer engages, making it a bit hazardous.

My biggest complaint is not with the crossbow, it's with the alfa-nock system that ten point has gone to. It consist of two separate parts. This leaves the nock and a 10 dollar light inside the deer on pass through shots. (Most times), so you can't find your arrow. Or they fall off on your way to and from your spot. The lights are extremely easy to turn on, your always having to disassemble them to turn them off. If the arrow doesn't pass through, the nock falls off when the deer crashes away.

Unfortunately this makes Ten Points entire line absolutely worthless until they get it fixed.

Alfa nocks seem like a cruel joke, although the people who make the lighted part of the system are not complaining.

I Bought the invader 400 crossbow with the 3x pro view scope about 2 weeks ago sighted it in at 20 yards and at 30 and 40 yards it hits within a inch of center of target moved to 50 yards it hits 3.5 inches above center and at 60 yards out it is another 3.5 inches above that. I called customer service they told me to send them the scope. I recieved the new scope and it was same results.

I just purchased my crossbow at a big name hunting store for my son and had them go over it to make sure their was zero issues. I got too take my first shot. As I went to cock the string, the knot went thru the handle hole right at the locking point. I now know how a Mike Tyson uppercut feels like. I'm very lucky that this happened to me and not my son. The force of this sent me back two steps and left me stunned for a second or two. I walked away with a bloody split lip and a broken cocker device. I'm very fortunate I didn't get any loose or knocked out teeth. Please change the string to a thicker rope so hopefully no one else has this happen to them

This bow is lightweight, easy to cock, shoots great, easy to maneuver through thick brush and cleans up nicely after every hunt
