No, but they did give me a discount for my three legged camo pants and an anchor to keep my dick from knocking limbs out of the adjacent trees when I have to turn around on a stand.

The only place a 100 yard crossbow could come into play is in a foodplot. You'll have a damn hard time threading an arrow through limbs at any range over 50 yards in the woods.

I'll certainly agree with that. I'm very conservative with ANY arrow shot. My reasoning is that I don't want to just see if I can "hit" an animal, I want to make EVERY effort for a quick, painless end for the animal. I pass up bow shots that a lot of folks would laugh about, but as I age, I just don't have to kill 'em all. Plus, long distance tracking is one job I don't look forward to, for me OR the animal. I've been fairly fortunate in that regard over the years.

Let me tell you a little about my friend: He's 71 years old. He is a Marine Corps veteran and did 3 tours in Vietnam. He was diagnosed with throat cancer 20 years ago due to exposure to Agent Orange while in Vietnam. You make one more derogatory remark or attempt to make a joke about him again, your ass is out of here. Comprende?

I've read where the string is good for 200 shots. After that they recommend changing them out. Ive also read the first replacement is free. After that it's around 120.00. That's roughly .50-.60 a shot.

I think the difference is the shared picture from shaw was generalized and your comment was geared towards an individual with health issues and Shaw didn't like that. Kinda simple

Nobody in decent health should take any offense to good natured ribbing from Shaw or you or anybody else for their decision to shoot and hunt with a crossbow. We can dish it back in good fun. But when a person attacks the manhood of an old warrior who's done MORE than his share of serving and suffering and watching his comrades die for us and STILL wants to hit the woods with his friend, that's offensive to most folks. That kind of MAN gets a free pass.

Let it lie where it is.

Sonny has a habit of following up on his promises.

So come on back in here and join the fun of giving folks like ME hell instead. I don't mind taking a little ribbing.

I bought the R-15 and can't wait to give it a try this year. Going to use it for spot and stalk on my Kansas lease.

I don't know King but I would be willing to bet you that he meant no disrespect to your friend at all. Sounds like your have a trigger finger to me Shaw. If you threaten everyone on here with being booted for a little ribbing there wouldn't be anyone left.

I looked it up and they recommend 400 shots or every 2 years.

On normal crossbows, I've seen 200 shots, but with the Ravin, there is no friction between the string and rail. There is only a short section of the string that is un-served.

Just because it is capable of a 3" group at 100 yards doesn't mean most folks would even attempt a shot like that.

Most guns are capable of good groups at distances much farther than most folks are willing to attempt.

I think we all like accuracy. If it can shoot a 3 inch group at 100 yards, it can shoot a very tight group at "normal" distances.

I do not own one, but I was just amazed at the engineering that went into the design of this bow. I think they have addressed most things that I didn't like about crossbows.

I'm sure the design could be improved upon, and will be, but I don't know what those changes would be.

Here's something to consider if you're thinking you can make that 100 yard open range kill on a whitetail:

Just as a rough average, sound travels about 1125 FPS as a baseline.

The Ravin R-15 I have sends the arrow that THEY picked out for optimal speed at a supposed 425 FPS. Also, The bolt isn't travelling at 425 FPS as soon as you dump the trigger; it must build up speed. The 425 FPS will develop after a short distance and time interval just like a car going from 0-60mph would.

Under PERFECT conditions, the longer the shot, the longer that little whitetail pea-brain will have to hear and process the sound as a danger. And ALL archery equipment makes noise. So longer shots ain't necessarily better.

We've ALL had one to jump the string at CLOSE ranges.

So a crossbow ain't a laser-gun that guarantees success from any dumbass holding one.

The advantages come from, hopefully, less movement on your part and the ability to use a scope on the crossbow.

Aw, that ain't any big deal, Joe.

I just decided after the new truck thread that turned into one guy basically telling me I was a dumbass for paying cash, not once, but numerous times in the same thread, that I wouldn't discuss anything about money or finances or buying stuff. I pretty much ain't gonna be discussing my purchases anymore on the open forum. That guy thinks that me buying depreciating stuff on credit is wiser than paying the cash that I saved AHEAD of time for just that very thing. He just wouldn't quit.

I will, however, PM certain folks to talk back and forth as the need arises.
