October Mountain bows and Ravin crossbows online shopping today? The most impressive thing about this is not the size or the form factor, but its power. It can shoot at 450 feet per second and while doing so, it produces kinetic energy of 180-foot pound. To control this much powerful shooting and prevent it from any accidents, it has state of the art safety features on the trigger and also textured grip and finger groove for complete control of the Crossbow. Yes Ravin Crossbows are slightly costlier than other options, but at the same time they are premium, very light, faster than most other options, silent cocking system, and Helicoil technology. All these features combined makes Ravin really stand out from competition. The Ravin Crossbows can shoot from 400 to 450 feet per second speed and shoot with pinpoint accuracy up to 100 yards. Skilled hunter can shoot up to 200 yards while mounting the scope in the riser and push the limits even higher. Yes, they are absolutely worth it.

The MX is the other exception to the slower-speed trend. It comes in two versions, the 5-inch-brace-height ultrafast (360 IBO) MX-15 and the 6-inch very fast (352 IBO) MX-16. Both feature the Hybrid Duel Stop (HDS) cam, which allows shooters to select limb stop, cable stop, or combination of both to adapt to their own shooting style. Draw length is adjustable in ½-inch increments without a bow press. I knew this would be the fastest bow on the ATA ranges this year, and being (a) old and (b) not usually a fan of speed bows, I was a tad nervous. My angst only grew when the tech informed me they only had a 70-pound model for me to shoot. But I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did I shoot the MX-15, repeatedly, but I shot it pretty darn well. The draw cycle puts most of the load up front, so the job gets easier as you go. The MX-16 is a bit easier to draw and still one of the fastest bows of the year.

The 2019 Vertix from Mathews was one of the most vibration-free bows we’ve ever ran through the paces of our annual Bow Test. The VXR seems poised to set a new standard for vibration-free performance at this year’s test thanks to a melding of the Vertix’s top vibration-killing features with a totally new riser design that Mathews claims increases overall bow stability while further reducing vibration. The bow is also lighter thanks to a reconfigured riser design. It’s not a huge reduction in weight (last year’s Vertix weighed in at 4.7 pounds while the VXR 28 scales 4.44 pounds) but it is noticeable. The VXR is also smartly available in two lengths – 28 and 31.5 inches. The 28-inch model will certainly be more popular but the 31.5 is a long-range shooting machine. Advertised speeds are 344 fps for the 28 and 343 for 31.5.

The arrow and the string float free above the rail of the Crossbow and this gets rid of any kind of friction. Less friction while shooting arrows results in better accuracy and longer cable life. There is an advanced trigger system in all these Crossbows, which is a trac-trigger firing system. Ravin patents this trigger mechanism and this slides forward on the rail and clasps directly to the exact middle of the string when the bow is drawn. Mechanism allows for straight-line nock travel and this why advanced technology delivers an unmatched accuracy. The cocking system in all Ravin Crossbows is another advancement than many other crossbow manufacturers. Ravin Crossbow uses a versa-draw cocking system, which is provided by Helicoil technology. This works with a coalition with the trac-trigger firing system and it is built into the sleek design. Read more details at https://huntinggiant.com/blogs/bows/ravin-crossbows.

Elite’s new Kure bow is a finely tunable machine made for archers looking for flight perfection. The new S.E.T. (Simplified Exact Tuning) technology allows archers to micro-tune the cam at the limb pocket for perfect arrow flight. The ASYM Tri-Track cams themselves are a new build, and they make it simple to adjust draw length, cable stops, and limb stops. At nearly 32 inches axle-to-axle, it’s leaning towards last year’s trend of longer bows. It weighs in at 4.6 pounds and hits the target at 335 max fps. A nearly 7-inch brace height allows for stability, and this bow offers draw lengths of 25.5-30 inches and weight options from 40 to 70 pounds, respectively. The Kure is available now at your local Elite retailer.

At first glance, this year’s Ravin looks an awful lot like last year’s Ravin. And it should. It has the same HeliCoil cam system that turned the crossbow world on its ear a couple years back. It has the same fore-end grip system (which is really, really good) and the same stock system. What’s new? The revamped cocking system is silent. It’s still super easy to use, Ravin has just eliminated the tell-tale click-click-click that signaled the bow was being cocked. The R29X measures 29 inches in length, which means it’s still plenty handy, but a little longer than last year’s ultra-compact 26-inch R26. It has a 12.5-inch powerstroke which launches 400-grain arrows at an impressive 450 fps. It’s priced at $2,650. There’s also an R29 that’s $300 cheaper with a speed rating of 430 fps.
