![]() These bows start at an MSRP of $1,699.99. ![]() Stepping up in price-and velocity-is the Mission Crossbows SUB-1 XR. It features a reticle that has four horizontal lines crossing the upright for sighting at 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards. This model came with a TenPoint Multi-Line three-power scope already mounted and factory sighted for 20 yards. ![]() The author found this crossbow the most comfortable to shoot of the three crossbows he tested. The stock of the Mission SUB-1 XR is adjustable for both length of pull and comb height. The company suggests swapping out the bolt for a practice arrow and then firing it either toward rock-free ground or into a safe object. One downside is that there’s no way to de-cock this bow without firing it. The trigger mechanism makes use of TenPoint’s Dry-Fire Inhibitor (DFI), which prevents firing without a bolt in place, which is bad for any type of bow. The safety lever, itself, is installed on the right side of the crossbow however, it’s reversible. The safety is automatically engaged upon cocking. The Mission SUB-1 XR’s fire control unit features automatic activation of the ambidextrous safety and anti-dry fire system. If you prefer, for an additional $100, you can get the same bow equipped with a built-in ACUdraw crank-operated cocker. You don’t have to be a weight lifter to get it done. The “sled” portion of the device hooks under the bow string and rides the rail as you pull the two ends of the cord this ensures even cocking. My test sample came with the basic Dedd Sled 50 rope cocker. I also had to attach the quiver mount, choosing the sideways installation option. I accomplished this without loss of blood or patience by simply following the instructions (believe me, if I can do it, so can you!). When I took it out of its box, I needed to attach the bow assembly to the stock. This bow would be the author’s choice for packing into the backcountry The skeletonized stock of the Wicked Ridge M-370 is strong, but it’s ultra light for a crossbow. It measures 9.5 inches wide, axle to axle, when cocked. It’s rated to launch the short arrows (called “bolts” in crossbow lingo) at up to 370 feet per second (fps) using the company’s VX-5 reverse cams to elongate the power stroke to 13.8 inches. Wicked Ridge (a part of TenPoint Crossbow Technologies) markets it as the “lightest crossbow on the market.” At an MSRP of $669.99, it’s also the least expensive of the crossbows I tested. When using the rope cocker, the simple, but strong, metal stirrup is big enough to secure the Wicked Ridge M-370 to the ground with the toe of your boot Wicked Ridge M-370Īt a mere 5.8 pounds, the Wicked Ridge M-370 weighs the least of the three crossbows I tested. I would put them in the same class as a Star Wars light saber-a mix of classic weapon “cool” and sci-fi fantastic. These crossbows are more than simply small, compound bows stuck on shoulder stocks. All three are made in United States, and each sells at a different price point. To answer that question, I put three crossbows to the test. Especially as a tool for wilderness survival or for procuring food in the aftermath of a disaster, would spending money on a crossbow provide enough advantages to make it worthwhile? However, I wanted to find out whether it made sense to take the next step. The Wicked Ridge M-370 is available with a factory-installed ACUdraw handcrank cocking device. I have a lightweight takedown recurve that fits in my emergency load-out bag, along with a half-dozen arrows and other survival gear. I started shooting a recurve bow as a teenager.
