CenterPoint Wrath 430X 430 FPS Compound Crossbow - 9 Inch Axle-to-Axle with Silent Crank and Illuminated Scope

Bow is fast, accurate and consistent. Do not use the arrows they send you with the bow, buy some with inserts at the nocks. I bought some better quality Centerpoint arrows for hunting but used the included arrows for sighting in . After about 10 shots one of the arrows split at the nock and cut my string. Now I must replace the string. I read many reviews about strings breaking after a minimal amount of shots, my guess is the same happened to them they just didn’t realize it. I inspected the other two arrows that came with the bow and both of them were distressed around the nock after around 10 shots also. If Centerpoint reads this I hope they start putting better arrows in the kit. These bows are not toys. The arrows are launched with a crazy amount of force, are really fast and the arrows are under a lot of stress when shot. My suggestion is buy good quality arrows with a metal insert at the nock and don’t use the included arrows. Did shoot a deer before string broke. Arrow went through both sides of the rib cage, one leg and kept going. He went down fast. I really like this bow and highly recommend it.

Pros. Nice bow. Extremely fast hard hitting hunting bow. If you take the time to sight this bow in well it is a tack driver at up to 50 yrds easily. From 20 to 40 yards I am able to shoot a bolt into 2 inch circles on my bulldog target. The hand crank cooking mechanism is smooth and quiet. Bow was easy to assemble if you follow well written directions. Quite simple for anyone who is mechanical inclined. But do read the directions. The adjustability of the stock is extremely nice for added eye relief to the scope. Plus the folding stock is well made and sturdy. The dry fire function works perfectly and the trigger pull is crisp with little to no trigger creep. Safety is easy to access for right or left hand shooters.the shoulder strap mounts are adequate. The scope rail is long enough to attain perfect eye relief as I am 6 ft tall and found scope eye relief to be comfortable. Has adjustable cheek rest on the stock that is to adjust and locks securely in place. The bolt quiver holds bolts securely and they are easy for the shooter to access. Cons.bow is front end heavy. The polimer or some form of plastic. The cooking sled on the crank cooking device is made of a heavier metal and works well. Also the bow is easy to cock with the standard cocking rope. Lastly the quiver removal lever is extremely close to the limb of the bow. Final summary- An very nice, fast and accurate crossbow for the price point. Once cocked the bow has a very nice narrow footprint and works well in a hunting blind or a tree stand. I've been shooting bow 40+ yrs and the Wrath 430X will make a novice shooter into an accurate shooter far better that a traditional long bow or compound bow. Bear in mind crossbows require care and maintenance and inspection frequently. Always wax your bowstring adequately befor shooting and use the rail lude before shooting. 5 stars. I will update this once I've shot it more. For now, Great bow.

Bought the 430 Wrath and have had nothing but troubles. After two practice shots the cranking device string explodes. This sent the hard plastic piece flying and it hit my brand new Burris Rangefinder scope ($800) and broke two mounts. I sent in all the pictures of everything through their warranty/product support system on line and did everything they requested and its been over a month and I have heard absolutely nothing from them and I have called several times. So, it gets better. We used they hand cocking string and when pulling it back, the string for the bow explodes, all this has happened with just 4 arrows being shot. If you read reviews online there are hundreds of complaints about the same thing with strings, customer support, and bow limbs. I guess I have to go someplace to have it re-strung and this is right during hunting season and they probably wont be able to get to it before we go on our trip, which means, I will have to buy another bow. Would not ever do business with this company. Customer service is absolutely horrible.

I have 5 crossbows, this makes it 6. This is a budget friendly crossbow for sure, and you geat a lot of good features at a great price. You get a nice cooking system and a cooking rope. With the bow you get a side folding stock, one of the first I've seen on a crossbow. The bow shoots really well, and groups well for a budget crossbow. Fir the money, the arrow speed, the features, and the price point, you can't beat this crossbow.

I purchased a Ten Point because they are supposed to be top of the line. Well I can tell you that they are not. They are a name. I ended up buying this bow because a friend recommended it and I was not disappointed. In my opinion this bow out performed the ten point in every category. I am highly impressed with this bow. As a veteran I live on a VA pension. I cannot afford to go out and buy 1500 dollar bows every year. I believe Centerpoint Archery did a great job with this bow and the price point. It preformed as good if not better than advertised.

Great price, easy to assemble, definitely not shooting at 430 fps, I shot thru a fps detector & got 413 412 & 414, which is 15+ fps slower, the silent crank is definitely silent, but not liking the way it attaches, it does have adjustable forearm & butt stock, the butt stock is supposed to swivel, but mine does not, make sure you have some blue medium threadlock cause some of the bolts don't have it on them & also check ALL the other screws on the scope mount, mine were all loose, other then that it seems like a great crossbow

First off, I was a little worried about shooting this crossbow for the first time because this is my first crossbow ever and didn't have a lot of confidence after reading all of the negative reviews. I shot it for the first time today and man is it smooth, fast, accurate and quite! Read the instructions carefully and watch as many videos online about Crossbows as you can. Also, I did the below things which I also think helped Improved how accurate it is. The picture is from 40 yards after sighting it in at 10 and 20 yards. -Take your time when assembling the crossbow and when cocking and shooting it to make sure you do it the right way -I used blue loctite on all of the bolts during assembly -I never installed the factory scope and instead bought and installed a Hawke XB30 SR speed ring scope -I never shot the factory bolts and Instead used Black Eagle Zombie Slayer bolts with 125 grain field tips and Lumenock GTC lighted nocks (no matter what bolts you use make sure you use atleast 400 total grains including the field tip and you use half moon nocks) -I also bought a Bog Deathgrip tripod to hold this crossbow super steady when I am shooting it and sighting it in and it worked perfectly I sure hope this crossbow continues to treat me well and I get to harvest many deer with it. I will update this review as I get more shots with it or if anything changes.

Bow has been great so far, cocking devise not so. After only a dozen or so shots, the plastic "sled" part on the cocking rope broke in half. Luckily it was less than half way up on the draw when it broke, otherwise it may have damaged the bow or the person..... I looked for a replacement and they are $51........for a piece of plastic that breaks (???) Other brands on here are in the $10 range. Seems something as important as the cocking devise shouldn't break so easily.
