My Ravin Crossbow is awesume. Its Fast, and accurate and super powerful. Now when you add up the cost of the Bow, Its expensive plastic case thats shaped like a casket which gets nicked up and scratches on it very easy when your loading up your equipment to go hunting Then you really get hammered for arrows. We gotta talk! so far I've gone through 14 Of those expensive arrows.
My ravin bow is so powerful, the arrows shoot through Deer with no proplem. I've had 3 that just got distroyed when I got deer with them. The rest are so far buried into the ground that I couldn't find them or they just shoot through the animal and are gone. The owner of the archery store that I have been dealing with for about 30 years now told me that there are other very thick walled 400gr crossbow bolts on the market that I could use.
Since the ravin bolts are so expensive, and then a package of broadheads which average around 40 bucks a pack of three added to the cost of the of ravin 3 lit nocks adds up, Ive been looking into alternative solutions There is now a blue tooth nock company that whose nocks just about fit into any thick walled bolts. These will help you find that expensive arrow set up that you have just launched and may never see again simply by using your smart phone. 400gr carbon fiber bolts are a little more expensive than aluminum bolts because of their strength and durability, but they no way should cost as much as ravin is asking just because they have the name ravin on the

Review for
Ravin R15 Crossbow Package
I first shot a ravin crossbow at the Harrisburg Outdoor show last winter. I was very impressed with the fact that you have so much power at your finger tip without it being heavy. I am a 59 year old disabled Veteran with two artificial shoulders, I'm on my second artificial left knee, and and lastly I also have an artificial hip. When I'm hunting I go into the woods deep and how much weight that I am carring is everything. Pennsylvania Whitetails and Black bear don't live close to roads you have to go in and look for them. That means a lot of hiking. My new Ravin Is way lighter than My Ten Point that I have hunted with for years. That means a lot to me! When I'm hiking through the woods my new Ravin 15 is narrow! That means that it has less of a chance of hooking on to branches, multiflora rose bushes, etc.,It stays nice and close to you! The biggest thing that I have to brag about this perfect crossbow is its accuracy! In the dense woods of Pa. you have to sew your shots! you some times only have a small window with which to shoot through, and this bow allows you to do just that! This Ravin 15 is the most accurate crossbow that I have ever shot! I have have a few buddies that shoot Barnets, Ten Points, Hoyts, and I have shot all of their bows. Now they all want mine! Another thing that I noticed at the local archery range is how much more quieter My Ravin is, I don't know maybe its the fact that the bolt is not sliding down a rail causing more friction or maybe its the Heli
