CenterPoint Wrath, Hellion Crossbows

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.

Third one I've owned. Absolutely zero issues. The only thing I do is replace the scope.

Junk don't buy!!! 30 shots and the string has fallen apart and the scope is useless. The silent crank is decent but a PITA to use and take on and off the crossbow. Very inaccurate and hard to hold a shot group.

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.

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

Nice crossbow for the price. It's slightly heavier then comparable crossbows but the weight is worth the trade-off for the price and speed. People have complained about the scope but it works fine for the distance I'll be shooting deer at. Would recommend

Had a small issue with the crossbow. Contacted Centerpoint directly. They took care of the issue 100%. I would recommend them and would purchase again in the future
