Wicked Ridge ACU-52 Crossbow Cocking Mechanism (WRA052)

I got this to replace one i already had on my Invader G3. First of all the ropes were too short and 2 different assemblies. I called Tenpoint direct and they sent me longer ropes. The only other drawback to this feature which is super convenient, is the fact that it's noisy if you bump it. Like when I'm in the stand shifting and the stock is under my arm, the hooks and handles tend to move and make noise. So you just have to pay close attention to that but it allows for mutliple shots relatively quickly if you miss the first one as I did the other day. I was able to get a second shot off cocking and loading it in the stand while sitting.

These cocking devices are great, unfortunately it wouldn't work on my bow. The are designed for Ten-Point bows, I was hoping it would fit in my stock with a little modification. I have a Stryker 380, and there was no way to make it work without really cutting into the stock, which I don't want to do. I traded it in for the ACUdraw Rope Cocker instead. If I had a Ten-Point or other comparable bow I am sure I would have loved the device. It would have been nice if the dimensions were included in the description but know this, it does take allot of room in the cutout area of the stock which my crossbow doesn't.

I don't know how I survived without it before...In my opinion this is the best cocking system on the market. I have used a crank type and the stand alone rope cocker's, this has them all beat by a mile. One huge benefit was its function during a misfire. By misfire, I mean, I forgot to or didn't fully disengage the safety. It is usually a huge pain to de-cock if you have tried to let one fly with the safety on. Though it still a pain, its intensity is greatly diminished if you have this unit installed. By hooking the cocker back on and holding tension on it with one arm, the safety can easily be reset. I did have a little trouble installing it but, it was mainly because I only skimmed the directions. I ended up having to reset the spring and rewind the string. This will not be a problem if you read them fully. I installed one on my dad's wicked ridge in about 5 mins with no issue what so ever.

Makes it easy to cock crossbow

Being new to the world of cross bows, I was actually unsure as to just what this was. Well, now that I have a Wicked Ridge xbow, this little unit have become a MUST HAVE!!. Just knock out the black plastic spacer in the butt stock of the xbow, insert the 2 piece unit and you now have a retractable cocking device. It consists of two handles and two hooks with pulleys, two lines that go back to the unit in the butt stock. Pull out and hook on to the xbow string on each side of the "flight deck" (where the arrow take off from), pull back on the handles and cock the box. THEN RETRACT the handles, hooks and string back into the unit in the butt stock. Magnets hold the handles and tuck the hooks away. I can cock this bow up in a tree stand at any time. While a little of the light side for quality (plastic mostly), it is still well worth the purchase price. J-

I bought this for my Wicked Ridge Warrior crossbow. I was a little hesitant about purchasing that bow since it was my first bow and I'm a woman; I knew they made bows specifically for women (I'm 5"4 and 110 lbs), so I was worried I wouldn't be strong enough to cock the crossbow. I also didn't want to pay a lot for the Ten Point bows with the ACUdraw cocking mechanism, since I didn't know how well I would like hunting with a crossbow. I added this cocking rope to it and I was able to cock my bow easily and without any problems! I love hunting with my crossbow, so I'm very glad I made this purchase.

First one I ordered, the spring was broken. Exchanged it and installed the second one on my bow. Works great! If you leave the covers off....even with the screws as loose as they could be the strings wouldn't retract. Could hear the string cam knocking against the cover trying to spin and retract and when I took the covers back off there were rub marks on the inside. On a positive note, it did reduce cocking effort significantly, for one shot. That's all you need, right?

I really got lucky with this product. New, it is priced $147.00, but I got it for $83.00 from Amazon as a returned product. It was very easy to install on my Wicked Ridge Warrior G3, and made cocking the crossbow a breeze. Arthritis has set in on a couple of my joints, and it was a dreaded task to try to pull the string back. Now, I am back in the hunt.

Wicked Ridge WRA052 Rope Cocking System does exactly as advertised, This device takes all the energy required to cock your crossbow. I highly recommend this device to anyone that owns a Wicked Ridge Crossbow, very easy to install and worth every penny..
