Crossbow Test: Ravin R10
  • 6 years ago
We affectionately called the R10 the “budget Ravin.” It’s a downsized and simplified version of last year’s winning R15, with a few key modifications. The first Ravins had passive safety buttons that hardly moved when disengaged—I was a little paranoid of the system while hunting and found myself constantly checking to see if the safety was on or off. The one on this bow is very positive and much improved. While the R10 does give up some speed due to a shorter power stroke, it is still the second-fastest of the test. But 30-yard groups averaged 1.38 inches—near the bottom of the accuracy pack.
