Looking at a Ravin R 9 crossbow. Anyone have any experience with one?? I hear good things

I have one and also a ten point just love it ten point is for sale no comparison between them killed several deer with it no problems as of yet

Thanks - the guy at Scheels sporting goods talks them up - but he is a salesman. Says if they sell ten crossbows - nine of them are Ravins. He does not talk poorly of the excaliburs, but thinks they market more

Find what you like at store, then go to eBay, my friend got a 1,000$ pse for 550$ brand new on ebay

Do you have a true comparison though? Do you have a tenpoint stealth or shadow nxt? Same basic looks.

I have a Ravin R9 and i love it ,One feature i like is that you can release it after your done hunting with out shooting it.

I bought an excalibur for my wife 2 years ago. It is nice because I could set it before I went to work and she could hunt with it all day with now worry about the limbs. Uncocking it is a bear. But I still wanted one for me. Last year I went to get one and was introduced to the Ravin. Ended up buying the R9. Love it. I tried mechanicals with it. They went through so fast they did little damage and left no blood trail. I did find the dear about 100 yards away. Switched to fixed blades this year. They now sell lighted knocks for them now but they want $50 for three. So I will wait for an aftermarket. Haven't shot the ten point

My ten point is about 7 years old not sure on model it does have the cocking mechanism on it I liked it a lot also shot many deer with it then I bought the Raven it is lighter much nicer to walk through the woods with and more comfortable in the stand love the scope loved the cocking mechanism . not saying there are better ones out there just handled the raven and bought it did not shop around. no regrets yet

They are made right here in Superior, WI. That alone is worth buying one!
