Ravin R10 Crossbow. A long term, long range bow hunting solution

Let's talk crossbows! As hunting season has opened in Ohio, and throughout the country, many people are going all in on the archery hunting season using the crossbow. The Ravin R10 is a high speed, highly accurate bow season option the significantly extends what a hunter's max distance used to be. At 400 Feet per second with a range up to 100 yards, check out this terrific offering from Ravin.

I grabbed up an R10 in 2018. It has been a wonderful bow! No problems, very accurate and reliable. At this point, I consider the R10 as one of Ravin’s original bow designs that helped develop Ravin’s reputation. It has been a death ray for deer.

Indeed.

i have an excalibur micro 335, it's just over 6 years old, i love it,, raven and tenpoint both make excellent bows, but i like how simple my excalibur is

[@briansupermag3918]

I have 4 crossbows and my newest was the Ravin R500 i got 4 days ago with the Burris Oracle X on top. Amazing bow

[@blacksrfm]

Imo ravin is the top brand for accuracy, with the roller design All of the research and engineering went into the bow it’s self, but the mounting bracket that holds the crank and the arrows is what I have a huge issue with they kind of suck, and I wish they had a different lighted nock system, you can literally damage your arrows trying to turn off the lighted knocks and then you can also make your bow explode which after talking to Raven Most of their warranty claims for blown up bows are from using lighten nocks. I did a video on it and you can hear it cracking the arrow when you try and turn it off for that reason I don’t run the lighted nocks anymore I have the R 20 model and absolutely love it

[@bryanmorvant88]

Were you using Ravin arrow lighted nocks??

[@MegaTarre]

Getting ready to buy this, your video helped me decide. Thanks!

[@TrainWithWillis]

Glad I could help!

[@hakeyassi3675]

Your optics gotta be positioned more forward on the Picatinnyrail...the crank will always scratch the cap of your optics....even in case of gentle decocking....

[@user-mg4yj7fo3k]

I have a ravin r10. Love it

[@peterpirog3089]

Great bow i got 10X

[@mwallace6540]

Nice video. How did you make your targets…looks like carpet? Cool.

[@1hunterdale]

i got ravin r 500 thats bad ass crossbow i got 2 deer at 100 yrds and pass throw 2 in swackers

[@albionMurv]

I sure wish the cranking sequence was quiet, I could see that noise causing deer or animals to spook

[@TrainWithWillis]

If you push the little button it cocks silently.

[@jonwoelk5860]

So do you have to keep your finger on the button as you decock. Or can you take your finger off the button and continue to decock the Xbox so the handle doesn’t free wheel?

[@08CC01]

Any way to keep this quiet when cocking? Looks like a great crossbow. Good video. Thanks.

[@rockanderson2255]

If you push on that little button which unlocks the crank, while cocking, it will be silent. It disengages the ratchet. Just don't let go of the crank with the button pushed. The crank will unwind itself quickly.

[@08CC01]

Thanks for the reply.

$100 string cable change once a year per Ravin recommendation, excalibur sting last for several years

[@johnwilliams8044]

Have you hit a deer at seventy yards .i have a center point 370 sniper it good for the money and do the same thing your do

[@Jimw82]

I have both. They are not the same.

[@1hunterdale]

people dont be cheap save up your money

[@justinmckinney4650]

That is why I bought a tenpoint way safer then the ravin if it had a better cocking system I would of bought it

[@woofman4796]

you mean width not diameter

[@TrainWithWillis]

Thanks

[@Confederate-hj2dc]

Blaaa blaaa blaaa

[@TrainWithWillis]

Thanks for the insightful comment.

[@scottcozart8950]

What if you misplace the cranking handle? It should be built into the bow.

[@TrainWithWillis]

Then I guess you don't get to hunt. Never had an issue.

[@rhythmlights7222]

hey rich guy if u think 1200 is not breaking the bank u need to rethink the hunting community

[@TrainWithWillis]

$1200 makes you mad enough to make that comment. You'd be REALLY pissed if you saw the guns I run. :)

[@douglasborgaro6801]

@rythmlights It’s all how you look at it. There are a lot of more budget minded bows out there and they can be great at getting someone started, but there is a difference between those and the likes of a Ravin. The quality of build and materials is different. On the other hand, if you have to explain the difference between a gallon of Mogen David and a bottle of 1937 merlot don’t waste your breath. 😂
