Mogadore, OH. TenPoint Crossbow Technologies is excited to announce that Outdoor Life has selected the NEW Invader M1 De-Cock as their 2025 Great Buy Crossbow.

According to Scott Einsmann from Outdoor Life, "The top two budget crossbows were equally accurate, but the Invader M1 was far easier to cock due to its integrated cocking mechanism. The Invader M1 De-Cock has TenPoint’s ACUdraw De-Cock built into it. It was one of the easiest crossbows we tested in terms of cocking effort. Other than the safety clicking on, the whole operation is silent and can be done in a treestand with little movement. De-cocking the crossbow is just as easy and silent.”

Shooting up to 390 feet-per-second, the American-Built Invader M1 De-Cock features the ACUdraw De-Cock and brings compact de-cocking to a lower price than ever at just $699. The Invader M1 De-Cock is equipped with a 70-yard lighted scope, and its lightweight, compact profile measuring 9.5-inches wide and 32-inches short provides more mobility and more shot opportunities in the field.

“We are honored that Outdoor Life has chosen the Wicked Ridge Invader M1 De-Cock as the Great Buy Crossbow,” said TenPoint CEO Phil Bednar. “We're proud that our most affordable crossbows, like the Invader, are built right here in America, not overseas, giving our customers the confidence that comes from American-built craftsmanship. And with over 90% of consumers preferring a built-in cocking device over bulky clamp-on devices, it's not surprising to see this as one of the deciding factors.”

The annual test from Outdoor Life includes crossbows with speeds from 375 FPS to 450 FPS and posted prices from $550 to $4,000. Each of them is thoroughly tested in areas such as speed, accuracy, cocking, and handling.
