I watch your review and enjoyed, would like to only comment on some areas as a past 17 years X bow hunter. The Ravin is the only reverse limb bow you used to the others brands, why not the Tenpoint Nitro rather then a Turbo GT same for the other brands? The Ravin is a super new X bow and deserves a high mark, I believe what I read it is acknowledging usage of TenPoint Technologies patents. The Tenpoint Nitro, or Turbo GT, like most Tenpoint x bows and the Ravin use a crank style system for good reason, consistent cocking for accuracy, safety, among other needs an aid for handicaps. In the past 17 years of my X bow hunting the sport has changed a lot with many offerings. A good rule is still pretty much the same, look a lot, ask a lot Q's, buy the best you can afford from oldest specialized company or design. Just take the time to call the company and ask questions, see if there interested in your money or your satisfaction. Happy Hunting.

I'm not very confident on the string durability of the Striker Katana. I was sighting in one for a friend during the winter, the string was waxed, the crossbow was brand new, it was properly cocked, and fired about 5 shots prior, it was already cold so no drastic temp differences. After some rough groupings the string snapped. The dealer on Amazon told my friend to buy a new string and did nothing until Amazon forced them to send him a new one free of charge. Overall my worst experience with a crossbow even though it wasn't even mine and it was a 10 minute interaction fml.

Looks like you have your quiver as tight as it will go towards the bow on the ravin, if you loosen the rear nut you can angle it further away.

Sad because the raven review is a bad one you can hit the lever for the crank release and crank it up without making a sound .
@billfresh37766 жыл бұрын
i believe he means he did not think your review was fair regarding your comments about the crank being loud and you only will get one shot due to the noise. the Ravin can be cranked with no noise at all if you depress the thumb button when cranking. the dealer i bought my Ravin from had me crank it both ways as well as uncock it with the crank so i knew how to do it. also, the grouping you show on your video is really misleading. not criticizing but i am guessing you did not follow the 3 step procedure for siting the bow in with the supplied scope. i can group 1" to 1-1/2" at 50 yds all day long. it is not me, it is the way this bow shoots.
@derekpatterson91335 жыл бұрын
Yeah you can remove the noise but also run the chance of dry firing the crossbow because you basically are putting the crank in free spool i would never recommend somebody do that its unsafe and unnessasary
@derekpatterson91335 жыл бұрын
Ravins are cool to look at but functionality there definetly not worth the outragious money you have to pay ive shot both and grouping were no better than my excalibur at 50 and under they did hold better at 60+ but to me that defeats the whole purpose of crossbow hunting. Not worth 1500+ dollars to me.

How about the sub1 crossbow?
@vansantsam6 жыл бұрын
There are many crossbows that are not top of the line that can do just as well.. Top of the line is a case of diminishing returns, in other words you are going to pay a whole lot of money for very little gain.. Top of the line is also what companies want you to buy because that is the big big profit bow.. Think about it - you have a rail, some limbs. some cams, cable and string, stock and trigger, how can one bow cost $400 and another cost $2000+.. (is the one costing $1600 more going to give $1600 worth of improvement or benefits - absolutely not)..

When spending big bucks for a product a big thing for me is reliability and warranties...my crossbow of choice has a hundred % warranty which I've used for the bow and scope...send it away get it back within a week most times

ravin shot grouping is kind of misleading. . The ravin having different design also requires to be shot different. needs to be shot more like a regular bow, loose grip let the bow do what it needs, not mounted down in a sled or held tightly. . There's other videos showing the difference

@mikefatigate44255 жыл бұрын
There is a reason the mission sub 1 was not reviewed...... I would have smoked all of them! It’s not all about speed the sub 1 is built like a fine watch being the right amount of mass, whisper quiet, stupid accurate (actually less than 1”@100 yards), church mouse quite, I can go on and on but it is what it is.

Why was not the Barnett 420 included in the comparison test.

Seeing as Barnett outsells any other crossbow in the world. As well as best bang for the buck, I feel it was a bad decision not having Barnett in the line up! They have some real nice high end bows this year too!!
