I'll admit crossbows aren't really my thing (right now), but I have to say that the level of R+D and pushing technology beyond the norm would definitely have me looking at Ravin if I was to ever be looking. Just the width alone would make it an easy sell.Quote:

Don't get me wrong, I love the new features, but there's no way in hell I'd ever send 4K on a bow, not even 1K to be honest
I shoot a cheap RTH compound and didn't fill my tag (but learned a ton, suffered a bit), I'm not a big believer that spending dollars gives you much advantage. Learning with the tool you have is the key. I didn't even notice the price of that thing 4k is a bit rich for my wallet!Quote:

I've had great help from this forum, plenty of kind fellow hunters sharing their hard earned knowledge, and the only thing that I never blamed for my "un-success" was by xbow
I knew the range, speed, noise and I practiced often with the proper broadheads, and now I think I'll stay with this bow until it breaks
Good luck and don't ever stop learning!
Down to the wire. Congrats!!!Quote:

This crossbow will be perfect for the guys using the trail cams that alerts you that there's a deer coming.
I don't see anything wrong with a 500 fps crossbow (or a cellular trail camera). Technological advancements are part of hunting, or we'd all still be using rocks and clubs.Quote:
