It weighs only about 6.6 lbs and has a manageable draw weight of 155 lbs, making it suitable for people of smaller stature.

Everything you need for the assembly is already included in the package.

Use the provided user manual and tools for quick and easy assembly.

Build Quality and Design

Double-dip fluid imaged in Mossy Oak Break-Up® Country™ camo pattern makes this crossbow rather attractive.

Thanks to the innovative machined aluminum riser, the weight of the Wicked Ridge Warrior G3 is reduced, and the improved power is just another plus.

Furthermore, the cutouts are placed strategically to minimize the weight further while preserving the bow’s strength.

You’ll be surprised at the weight-to-power ratio this brings to your hunting weekends.

The tactical-black 12.3-inch WL12™ limbs powered by an Energy Wheel™ - such a configuration produces fast & maneuverable 320 FPS.

The semi-skeletal stock design is made from PolyOne™ OnForce™, making the stock assembly lighter and safer for use.

Without accessories, the Warrior G3 weighs only 6.6-pounds, so it is relatively easy to carry all day.

Essentially, that means that even people with a smaller build can carry this crossbow for hours without getting a sore muscle.

The assembly is only 19-inches from axle-to-axle when cocked, and the draw weight is 155 pounds.

Being lightweight and compact and having a practical grip design, this crossbow is easy to handle out in the field or run and gun hunting style.

You can track or chase your prey but also hold the crossbow steady for a perfect shot always.

Speed

The Warrior G3 crossbow has a maximum speed of the shot of 320 FPS.

That is quite fast; however, it might not be enough to place an ethical shot on a certain big game so keep that in mind.

Safety

Wicked Ridge Warrior G3 crossbow is considered to be very safe thanks to the following safety mechanisms:

Accuracy

Lightweight trigger

The Warrior G3 features an impressive trigger that secures accurate shots. It goes off at minimal pressure with excellent follow-through.

In general, the lighter the trigger, the less influence on crossbow movement and greater accuracy.

TenPoint 3x Multi-Line™ Scope

The 3x scope enables you to shoot up to 40 yards accurately. Experienced users can shoot up to 70 yards in certain hunting situations.

Kinetic energy

The recommended kinetic energy for hunting the most popular game in the USA (black bear, elk, wild boar) is 65 feet per pound.

The Wicked Ridge Warrior G3 offers kinetic energy of 90.9 ft-lbs which is more than enough to hunt for almost any animal in North America.

CNC riser, limb pockets, and wheel

These features make the Warrior G3 crossbow lightweight but also guarantee accurate bolt flight.

Accessories

What we liked about the Warrior G3 is that it comes with an included scope for better aim, as well as a quiver.

Also, with the package, you will get 3 bolts - which is simply not enough. For backup, you should try to purchase at least 6 more for hunting.

What we didn’t like is that there is no cocking device included in the package.

You will need to cock the crossbow manually, which can be a pain - or purchase a cocking device for your crossbow.
