CenterPoint Wrath 430X- Full review with Pyramyd Insyder Bow Expert Ron.

Hello, I'm Ron Duker with Pyramid Air. Today we're going to go through our Centerpoint Wrath 430X. It's one of our best-selling feature-rich crossbows that we're going to get inside of the budget price point. Starting off with what comes in the box. We're going to have the crossbow itself. You're going to have this come in several different pieces. You'll have all of the tools that you need to put this crossbow together already in the box for you. We're also going to get a quiver that mounts underneath. You've got three arrows, 20-inch arrows, 400 grain. That includes it has a field tip with it already. So you're ready to go, ready to shoot straight out of the box. You also have two different cocking methods that you can utilize. It comes with another box inside of the box, which is the silent crank, as well as a rope cocker. You'll also see inside of there it comes with rail lube. And lastly, a 4x32 crossbow scope. This is illuminated, so you will see light inside of this, which is an excellent feature for a budget crossbow. One thing to note is that when you get your silent crank cocking device, it's going to come in a couple pieces parts with assembly required. It's done that because you can choose whether if you want this left-handed or right-handed. When you look at the back of this cocking device, what you'll see is there's a little post with a circle and then there's a square. That is designed to fit up in the back of the crossbow. You have to have the adjustable buttstock all the way at position zero, and you'll see a little indentation in the back that fits this perfectly. To attach this to the crossbow, you're going to see it just simply slides in the back, and then as you release the button, you will see the handle does spin. So keep an eye out for that, and you'll extend it all the way down around your optic. Make sure it doesn't get caught on your optic, and then it will sit right on the string. And then you can start bringing up the string. The other option is utilizing the rope cocker. This is a 200 pound raw weight bow, so when you're using the rope cocker, you're only pulling 100 pounds. And I found that, at least for me, it's probably just as easy to use this as it does the silent crank cock device. You can also put this in your pack or your bag or your pocket or something while you're hunting, so if you do fire the crossbow out in the field, you have a very quick way to load a second arrow. For the buttstock, mentioned earlier that it does adjust. A couple other features there that you may have missed, which is one, on the very bottom, if you look right here, there's actually a built-in broadhead wrench that helps you screw in and unscrew any sharp broadheads. It also is a foldable stock. You can bend this down, push down, it's spring loaded so it stays in there and doesn't slip on you when you're shooting it. You push it down, it actually folds back. So now you actually get a much more compact design that you can pack in, makes it easier to move, and then when you get to your hunting location you can, if you notice, see how it locks again, push it down, slide it over, locks up, good to go. The optic that comes with it, it's a 4x32mm objective. It's a fixed reticle and it's got four different holdover points, both red and green, or you can also just use it without the illumination on it. On the trigger box assembly, you're going to notice something unique with this crossbow. It actually has, it doesn't have a brush or a lever holding the arrow for the arrow retention, it actually has a spring ball system. So inside of there, there's a little ball bearing right here that enables you to keep your arrow snug and fit and butt it up against your string so that when you fire it, it's there ready to go no matter how you're moving this this bow around. Benefit of that, quiet. You're going to have very little sound coming off of this from this assembly as it fires. The quiver is a quick detach quiver with a simple lever that you flip and it slides right off. So you can hang this up in a tree, you can do whatever you want with it if you want to hunt without the quiver attached. Also on this crossbow, you're going to see dual string stops with suppressors on them. That ensures that when every time you fire this crossbow, that string stops exactly at that same spot, which helps with accuracy. On the very end of the crossbow, you're going to see an adjustable stirrup. So you can have this in the out position, which enables you to utilize the rope cocker and cock the crossbow, or if you're just hanging it up on a tree or something that you have. With a very simple pull of this lever right here, you can actually put this in a down position so your crossbow then stands on its own. Or if you just want it completely out of the way, you can fold it back without taking it off of the crossbow. Talking about the measurements of a crossbow, when you see length, what they're talking about is from the end of the stock all the way to the butt. When I'm going inside of the woods, I want to know how long is this, or if I'm buying a case for it, how long is it from the actual foot stirrup to the end. And so when you measure that out, what you'll find on this crossbow in the zero position, it's actually 36 inches. Measurements from the manufacturer when we're talking axle to axle is actually axle to axle, not end point of cam to end point of cam. So axle to axle on this bow is 9 inches cocked, 13 inches uncocked. I want to know what it is from the end of the cam to the end of the cam because that gives me maneuverability and helps me understand exactly how wide the bow is if I'm going to be putting it into a case. In this scenario, this is 19 inches from the end of the cam to the end of the cam. And here you can see exactly what they've measured at the factory is 13 inches axle to axle. And then maximum height of the crossbow from the bottom to the top of the optic you will see is about give or take 10 inches. The Centerpoint Wrath 430X is rated at 430 feet per second. It's going to get you in the woods at an affordable, friendly price with a lot of features added for that price. Check out the Centerpoint Wrath 430X on PyramidAir.com. I'm Ron Duker.
