- Built-in ACUdraw crank cocking device included in the package price

- Entry-level scope compared to higher-priced models
- Lacks the newest cam technology and accuracy features of flagship TenPoint bows
“I've used my old tenpoint titan tl7 for about ten years and a few sets of strings before I started noticing accuracy issues so I upgraded to a wicked ridge made by ten point, same body just updated limbs and crank is included around $600”r/Archery
Wicked Ridge has a devoted following among hunters who want TenPoint quality without the flagship price tag. The secret is no secret at all: as one long-time owner explains, it's “a wicked ridge made by ten point, same body just updated limbs and crank is included around $600.” Outdoor Life's crossbow editor confirms this directly, noting that Wicked Ridge “basically sells TenPoint models of a couple years ago that have been rebranded and re-priced — still great quality, shoot great.” For hunters who want American-built reliability, Gordon Glass limbs, and a complete ready-to-hunt package, the Commander 400 is the obvious choice when budget is a real concern.
