Narrow, fast and extreme value are the best ways to describe the new Wicked Ridge Ranger X2, engineered to introduce crossbow hunting to youth, women and smaller-framed shooters with a manageable size, weight and length-of-pull.

The Ranger X2 comes fully assembled and weighs a manageable 5.9 pounds. The Ranger X2 might be made for small-framed hunters, but offers full-frame speeds, shooting an 18-inch Wicked Ridge Ranger carbon arrow at 330 fps. The bow is 33.5 inches long, and offers a manageable draw weight of 150 pounds. When cocked, the Ranger X2 measures 16 inches axle-to-axle. 

 

The Ranger X2 is builton an aluminum riser fitted with 11-inch limbs and powered by speed enhancing cams and special string and cables with tunable yokes. The stock is lightweight and has built-insafety features to protect the shooter and the bow. The bow is also equippedwith TenPoint’s Dry-Fire-Inhibitor and 3.5-pound auto-engaging safety trigger.

The new Ranger X2 crossbow is covered in Mossy Oak’s Break-Up Country camo pattern, and with an MSRP of $479.99 includes a TenPoint Multi-Line scope, ACU-52 cocking device, three carbon arrows and a quiver.
