Any of the Ravin xbows are fast and accurate. I shoot a R20. It will stack at 100 yards. Next year I will shoot out 200 yards. It makes anything in hunting range a chip shot. You buy them used for reasonable or you can buy them for a lot of money too.

I bought a centerpoint ampd 415 I have 350-400 total in it with upgraded scope and arrows. It will stack arrows at 70 yards. Its not a 1000-1500$ rig like some high end bows. It’s not the smallest or fastest bow But it has impressed me so far, they are fun to tinker with.

OK. Mine isn't a Raven. What range should I expect it to maintain accuracy..? Came with a great scope. I know I'll find out when I get around to shooting it more. I know I'll need a crossbow target. Any broadhead suggestions..??

I own a Wicked Ridge by ten point and a Horton reverse limb. My next xbow will be a Ravin

OK. Mine isn't a Raven. What range should I expect it to maintain accuracy..? Came with a great scope. I know I'll find out when I get around to shooting it more. I know I'll need a crossbow target. Any broadhead suggestions..?? I shoot inside of 40 yards. I get that Raven can hit at 100. The others probably have longer ranges than 40. But I can't in good conscience shoot an arrow at a deer 100 yards away not knowing if it's going to flinch, duck, jump, turn or something else.

A deer is probably more likely to jump the string on an average crossbow at 40 than a Ravin at 100.
