Ravin R20
Frictionless flight is the key to piercing power that is best produced by the latest Ravin R20, an upgrade of the previous R15 and R10 models, and the latest R29 and R29X models. Having a sound 270 lbs. draw weight and draw effort leveraged to a mere 14 lbs. due to the VersaDraw, this model yields 430 fps speed with intense penetration. R20 is integrated with HeliCoil™ Technology, a 340-degree cam rotation, which reduces the crossbow’s overall size and weight without comprising the performance. Hunters’ attention to this device is its rifle-like appearance, 4 lbs. Trac-Trigger™ trigger with added anti-dry firing and ambidextrous safety features combined with rifle-like cast polymer appearance and a tree camouflage finish. With its lightweight and draw effort, it is a fine choice for hunters who prefer consistency and accuracy with minimal effort.
Ravin R10
Yielding a little less power than R20, the Ravin R10 features every critical element that a hunter of any performance level seeks. R10 delivers no less than 400 fps speed with 142 ft. lbs. bone-crushing K.E and 270 draw weight. Although it is longer, it is a compact (6 in. broad) crossbow enabling hunters to operate it even in narrow places. Like any other R series by Ravin, this crossbow also integrates HeliCoil™ Technology and an anti-dry fire system that allows cams to produce reliable power and safe maneuvering. What sets it apart is the presence of two rollers with 11 in. power stroke instead of a rail which offers frictionless flight, excellent arrow retention as well as smooth operation in challenging situations. The R10 has an external cranking handle allowing for easy drawing.
