[@fralin1966]

Great Video !

[@HuntShootLive]

@fralin1966 Thank you! Check out my recent update taking a deer at 100 yards with the Ravin! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXybpWOBgseSpac

[@GeLeeOutdoors]

I got one too! Great crossbow!

[@Bones6987]

I am a little late to the game as far as Ravin crossbow go But set mine up today 20 bullseye 40 bullseye 60 bullseye Stopped shooting because it’s was getting very boring hitting the bullseye with boring regularity Great video Thanks

[@HuntShootLive]

@Steven Dowell It’s a wicked crossbow. Does exactly what it’s supposed to. Good luck with it this season! Thanks for watching and for the comment!!!

[@praiseourfather9674]

For 80 yards that wasn't bad. I'm getting one for my son looks fun and something new to try

[@boomerrangerron]

Very good product review and honest video guys! All of the RAVIN's are super accurate and compact and they look very easy to carry. The thing that I like best about the R 26 compared to the other RAVIN models is the fact that the scope is secured on both ends, and isn't cantilevered like most of the other models including the R 29! I'm regretting I didn't take advantage of the BASS PRO Sports and CABELA's sale when this was $500 off!

[@HuntShootLive]

@Boomer Ranger Ron Thank you! The R26 is very awesome. Check out this 100 yard deer kill we just filmed with the R26 two weeks ago... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXybpWOBgseSpac And you said Bass Pro had it for $500 off? What was the actual price? They didn't mark it up before they marked it down did they!?!

[@boomerrangerron]

@@HuntShootLive Yes they took of $500 from the standard MSRP for the R 26 of $1999. Check out my experiences with BARNETT, yes I'm ready for a RAVIN R 26! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3LUaq2rnKabsK8

[@HuntShootLive]

@@boomerrangerron That is a heck of a deal! I will check that link out. Thanks for sharing!

[@charliebeaver6771]

Go to wyvern Creations KZbin channel and look at Dave's video on sighting in Hawke and Ravin Optics. His video is short and to the point and spot on. If you want the most accuracy out of that crossbow you first need to check and make sure the ATA is in spec and that the timing dots are split by the cables. You'd be surprised how many crossbows leave the factories and they're not set to the proper specs.

[@HuntShootLive]

@Charlie Beaver I will check that process out. We had not problems out to 100 yards on that day. He has since killed some deer with it. No problems. It was very simple in our case.

[@woofman4796]

i have an excalibur micro 335, i love it,, it's about 6 years old

[@HuntShootLive]

@woofman Excalibur makes some excellent crossbows!

[@woofman4796]

@@HuntShootLive yup, if i got a compound bow, it'll be a tenpoint,, but i love excalibur,, i can change the string myself

[@lstownley]

Caution: That screw is NOT a set-screw to lock down the speed-ring. At 400fps, the drop for an arrow is approx 84 inches and takes about 0.83 seconds to get there. A lot can happen in 0.83 sec and 84 inches if shooting at animals! Sounds like a long track job to me!

[@HuntShootLive]

@SamT Yes, we did indicate that at the end of the video. I would think a set screw would be a good idea for that scope though. I agree about the distance and time. If the deer is alert at all it will probably be a terrible hit or an all out miss. I think I’ll stick with my compound. The Ravin is dang cool though!

[@ravenfeather7087]

Got some data or is your comment simply another unsubstantiated opinion?

[@blacksrfm]

That’s exactly what that screw is for you just have to actual tighten it down it works on my model, I also did mark it so I know for sure 2

[@charliebeaver6771]

@@HuntShootLive in my opinion Hawke Optics are better. The speed ring on those Optics has a locking feature whereas Ravin Optics do not.

[@charliebeaver6771]

@@blacksrfm you might want to give Ravin a call or an email....... I believe they'll tell you that set screw is NOT for locking the speed ring. And I don't believe there's anything in any manual for the crossbow or the scope that says that's what that set screw is for

[@eddiewiercioch777]

You can crank on silent mode by pushing the button at the back of the stock at the same time! Also, you are doing the loading incorrectly you need to back turn 2 twice and then press the button on the bottom another half return. You might wanna see some videos regarding this. Good luck.

[@HuntShootLive]

@eddiewiercioch777 Thanks for the info! I’m not sure about doing it “wrong”. Shot it for three years now. Killed several animals with it. Not had any problems.

[@GeLeeOutdoors]

I want that orange R26 decal! Looks different from other R26s

[@blindbasser]

I have a Raven R 26 but it was set to 425 when I bought it

[@mevrammcoyoteV8f150]

Glad I own my Tenpoint after watching Ravin videos..thanks

[@oscargregory6153]

Great looking bow. 🎯🎯🎯🎯

[@frios011]

Lot's of crossbows on the market shoot 400FPS, that is not ground breaking.

[@HuntShootLive]

@frios011 Very true. Not shot them so I can’t say how they feel or how accurate they are. Can say the Ravin is amazing though. Light weight. Accurate. Fail proof. Great crossbow.

[@UncleDanBand64]

That thing is money. I would have no problem shooting an animal at 100 yards with that💪😀👍🇺🇸

[@HuntShootLive]

@Shootin’ with Uncle Dan Yeah, it was pretty impressive. I’d like to try that scope on my cheap crossbow. It was a really nice scope and I liked how it adjusted based on speed.

[@johnkrout2661]

The Army uses the R26 and a Garmin on drones to take out enemy air craft at 1/2 mile, 400 grain bolt and hypodermic you'll be good ! Good vidio

[@chs9627]

300 grain arrow with a 100 grain fp.

[@HuntShootLive]

@C HS 400 spine bolts but not sure of weight at this length. 100 grain broadhead.

[@johnoceanyang5522]

Awesome 😎 where can I get one that crossbow target like that🦌

[@HuntShootLive]

@Johnocean Yang Thanks for watching! He purchased that target at our local archery shop. I would imagine it can be found at most archery retailers. Things are a little hard to find now though so I’m not sure about their availability elsewhere.

[@johnoceanyang5522]

Hunt Shoot Live thanks

[@raybobkowalski2154]

That thing is way to loud cocking all that clicking noise

[@tequilarose3829]

trying to make up my mind btween the r26 or the tenpoint sige410 very difficult decision!!!! i dont shoot past 40yrds ita all about the feel and ease of the xbow for me!

[@HuntShootLive]

@Tequila Rose The r26 feels great and it’s definitely easy to crank. It’s an impressive machine if you don’t mind the cost.

[@raybobkowalski2154]

I've got a ten point nitro 505 much better quality than Ravin& much better now hands down

[@wondermonkeyhunting7037]

Did anybody else think that the second shot at the shortest distance hit the first arrow and veered to the right?

[@HuntShootLive]

@WonderMonkey Hunting If it did, there was no damage to the arrow. But it is possible since it was just a field point.

[@MichaelHenryMusic]

@@HuntShootLive I only mentioned it because if it did hit, your grouping was better than you thought. Either way, it was just something I thought I noticed. Thanks for the video!

[@HuntShootLive]

@@MichaelHenryMusic That is a good point. I love the Ravin, that is for sure. It is an impressive crossbow!

[@donovanb4739]

Buy an Excalibur and don't look back I promise I was a ten point guy now I'm Excalibur guy 10000%

[@HuntShootLive]

@Donovan !B I will check them out. Thanks!

[@Andre-rc7lp]

That was noisy. TenPoint is quiet while cranking without the risk of busting your knuckles

[@HuntShootLive]

@Andre Yes. It is a very noticeable clicking sound.
