OTHER FEATURES: Factory pre-sighted at 20 yards flip-up scope caps, extra-wide flange for finger protection.Īs is typical of TenPoint products, my initial trip to the range was short and sweet.AXLE-TO-AXLE Width: 9.5 inches cocked, 14 inches uncocked.COCKING DEVICE: Integral ACUdraw cocking system and stock-mounted hand crack.TRIGGER PULL: 3.5 pounds with dry-fire inhibitor, ambidextrous safety.ARROW LENGTH: 20 inches with Alpha-Nocks.The ambidextrous quiver assembly is equally easy to install with all the necessary tools and instructions provided. Then three Allen-type set screws to secure the stirrup and assembly bolt. MSRP for the M-370 with ACUdraw crossbow package, which includes the crossbow, pre-mounted scope, three arrows and quiver, is $769.99.Īssembly of the M-370 was quick and easy, requiring just one bolt to join the limb assembly with the stock. Finally, the M-370’s safety knob can easily be converted to left-hand use. Other features of the M-370 include all-weather, flip-up scope caps, a real benefit when hunting in rain, fog or snow, and the integral foregrip flange is exceptionally wide, keeping even the longest fingers well away from the rail and string. Exceptions do occur, but most deer, bears and hogs are shot at 30 yards or less, which is well within the capabilities of the M-370. The trend has been to include crossbow scopes with reticles set for 100 yards, but shots of this length should be left to firearms, not crossbows or vertical bows. I especially like that the provided scope is calibrated out to 50 yards, which is more than adequate for 99% of typical big game hunting situations. Based on my experience, it takes fewer than three shots to sight-in at 20 yards, with only minor tweaking necessary out to 40 yards. I have been to the Wicked Ridge factory and have observed the process in person. Arrow speeds are up to 370 fps.Īnother hunter-friendly feature of the M-370 is that the 4x32, multi-line scope is factory pre-sighted at 20 yards. The cocking handle conveniently locks securely into the rear, lower buttstock when not in use. Its power stroke is only 13.8 inches, which noticeably speeds up the cocking process. Hunters who are handicapped or have shoulder issues will have no problem cocking the crossbow even when inside a blind or 20 feet up in a treestand. The M-370 is easily handled, slipping through the brush like a hot knife through butter.Īdditionally, the M-370 is available with the company’s patented ACUdraw system, which makes loading the crossbow easy enough for the average 10-year-old. Carrying a cocked crossbow in typical whitetail, bear or hog country can be a challenge simply because all of these animals prefer the thickest habitat they can find. The M-370 is only 9.5 inches wide (cocked), which is a still-hunter’s dream come true. Most serious hunters would happily pay a premium for that one feature, but there’s more where that came from. The Wicked Ridge M-370 is what I’d consider one of the current leaders-of-the-pack on several fronts, not the least being its industry-leading overall weight of just 5.8 pounds - feather-light when compared to most competitors, even recurve-style crossbows.
