crazy compact crossbow

[Carnivorous]

Unreal! Ravin crossbow shoots 390fps with a 400gr arrow..

This thing looks very cool. Lots of innovation.....but over $1500.00 USD

Pretty cool. I saw this bow coming out even before I knew it existed. Getting rid of the rail made sense. There is no need for it. Compound bows shoot overt 350 fps without a rail. Removing the rail helps reduce friction, increasing speed and saving wear and tear on the serving. I also knew that cams would eventually take over as far as being the power source rather than the limbs. Compound crossbows tried to straddle traditional limb driven speed/power with the utilization of cams. There is no need to engineer any let-off on a crossbow like a compound bow, so there is little need for limb driven speed/power source when utilizing cams on a crossbow. Let the cams do all of the work.

I also think we will see a couple other changes occur fairly soon. I think we'll see crossbows shoot with a drop away rest, and we'll also see crossbows utilize D loops to further lengthen the life of servings.

We'll see how these hold up. I'm a bit skeptical about the limbs, they flex, they're loaded. I have limited knowledge of these, but it looks like the trigger assembly propels the arrow when fired, it has to stop somewhere, will the scope mounting absorb the shock and stay zeroed? I'll keep an eye on these as folk's start using them, but I don't see any need for one personally.
Cool & Compact though.

Honestly after my last go around wid speed compound crossbow. Think i shall jus enjoy my 350SE i can rope cock n enjoy it fer 1000's of shots

[Carnivorous]

Yep my Micro isn't going anywhere any time soon..

[longbow joe]

Them there limbs look more stressed than hillary n donald and n air traffic controller all in one !

[foofoo]

think i will wait for the lower price clones to hit the market in a few weeks or the recurve version at least. lol. why would a rep who wants you to sell there product rush you through a quickie demo and expect you to order? trackless for speed maybe but im not too sure for ultimate accuracy. it looks cool. build a model under 1000$ and maybe id bit.

Better put lots of deer in the freezer to pay for that guys bow and his head to toe Sitka outfit.

Cool looking bow, but it just screams maintenance to me. But I would like to shoot it a couple times

[MTBighorn]

The bow is kinda cute and slender!! ...And I enjoy speed and compactness as much as the next guy. But I think this bow is lacking the "essence" that a crossbow provides for me.

Don't you all think that there is just too much of the bow missing??

I like the romance and nostalgia of shooting my Matrix 380...it just looks like a bow, shoots like a bow, and sounds like a MEGA bow! Bill T called it a "Cannon"!!

If we keep shaving away at the bow until there is no bow left,...Aren't we missing the point of archery??

[hankenhunter]

It's kinda cute, like a mangy puppy, but that scope mount screams "Don't bang me". Like others have said, I would like to try it out though.

I am not goin to knock a crossbow like this until it proves itself one way or the other. Open minded enuff that this small compound crossbow has alot goin fer it, compact, short, lighter than most, very narrow n fast. Price isn't beyond some of the users if'en it proves to be a solid performer n strings/servin's hold up well

[Kegbelly]

I don't know, I think you can go too far trying for short and compact. That almost looks like a crossbow pistol, seems like it would be real twitchy and hard to shoot accurately without a very solid rest. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll pass.

[janesy]

These are all probably valid concerns that were once said about the Micro

[BrotherRon]

I will stick with my Matrix.
