The
first thing that strikes you about the Ravin R9 crossbow is the look. It is sleek, slender, and looks like something out of a Hollywood movie more than a functioning crossbow. Without a doubt the first thing you'll notice about this bow is how slim it is. In fact, it is touted as the most compact crossbow ever created. Incredibly the Ravin R9 measures only 6 inches when cocked. 6 inches! The only other bows that even come close are a few reverse limb bows in the 10 inch range. The funny thing is that the R9 is only 10.5 inches when uncocked. If you are looking for an ultra compact design in your crossbow, there is no other choice.
With a cutting-edge new design, the first thing naysayers will question is the performance of the bow. Is it all show and no go? What about accuracy? In the performance department, the Ravin R9 crossbow certainly isn't a slouch. As for speed, this crossbow clocks in at a blistering 391 feet per second. That kind of speed puts it right up there with the fastest bows out there.
Critics may also question the accuracy of this unique design. This is actually one area some people are concerned. From what I've seen, the R9 is not a bow where accuracy is an issue. On the other hand, accuracy seems to be a strength of this bow. By in large, the reviews from around the country on this bow point to it being an incredibly accurate bow. Stories of touching fletchings and Robin Hoods are often brought up in conversation when discussing it. If you are interested in purchasing the R9, make sure to do your homework, and you'll likely be impressed with what you hear.
