About Wicked Ridge

Wicked Ridge was created by TenPoint Crossbow Technologies around 2010 to provide high-quality, accurate crossbows at a more affordable price point in the $499-$1,099 range.

The company designs, engineers, builds, and tests all crossbows in Mogadore, Ohio, maintaining the same quality standards as TenPoint's premium line while keeping costs accessible.
