- Recently I bought the Ravin R10 crossbow and got it set up, sighted in, tested out and more. I thought I would share this process as most 'reviews' I could find were bow shops or people just talking about them with little detail. Since I bought this crossbow on my own, with my own hard earned cash, you will get some good info and a great initial review! It took my only 3 shots to get it sighted in at 20 yards. Then after sighting in at 50 I put it through lots of test shooting between 30 and 80 yards. I also tested out the Thorn HPX expandable crossbow broadhead, and man did it shoot fantastic! Please hit the like button and share this video if you enjoyed it, thank you!

Great job- dang - you slay-did um. That’s some good shots, I’m humbled.
Thank you, much appreciated! Although, once again, this season, a 180+ managed to survive a one lung shot again!! Man, I think I am jinxed! Thanks and take care
Thanks, I just purchased this R10
Best of luck!
The R10 and R20 are my favorites.
I really enjoyed your video you did a very good job on explaining the details of the Ravin Crossbow
and especially taking the time to show how well the crossbow shots keep up the good work.
Thank you I appreciate it
I like this type of review. So many people just give you the showroom sales pitch with spec's. Well, I can read a pamphlet or web page. That's not helpful at all.
I want to see repeatability, hear the noise, witness the actual environment, etc... You did all that in your review. Thank you sir!
Thank you I appreciate it! We try to make good content and keep it very real!
Yep Kap, this is the 2nd R10 video I was hoping you'd show us. Thanks, I love the action of your R10. Those shots are tight. After all the 'Dope Changes', I think I'd maybe go 1 click to the left. Hey Ka, if I don't see a video between now and Monday, I wish you, Mrs K, and the kids a memorable Veterans Day and I wish the same to all your viewers as well. "The Few....The Proud.... " S/F
Wow awesome grouping! Keep it going when you are out in your blinds!
"worse than Oj's glove"....LOLOLOLOL....LOVE IT!
ha ha good pickup!!! Thanks!
This video is exactley what i wanted to see thanx
Awesome, best of luck!
Great shooting I also have one too but to sight in that ravin scope u have to sight in at 50 yards than go back to 20 yards and just use the speed dialed scope to dialed the speed of crossbow or arrow than all your 20 to 100 yards should be on
That bad boy hits with authority!
no doubt!!
I am loving mine! Only had it out to 50 yards so far. But so far so good!
Good stuff! Best of luck with your next range event!
Just subbed, thanks for this overview. Thinking hard about buying one of these.
Thank you and best of luck! I actually upgraded to an R20, but this R10 shot much better.
i personally like my tenpoint only because after four years of shooting with it its still solid wheras the ravin i owned after 3 years was loose and some parts got shakey and loud
Well can't knock you there, makes perfect sense to me! Best of luck! May you be blessed with a chance at a big one!
Nevermind i went back and heard your explanation
Nice shooting there grasshopper.
Practice Makes Prepared as my son always says. Best of luck this season.
Impressive all around
Nice shooting, hope you get a nice huck...stay safe, be careful and stay warm/cool
Them bolts are going all the way through that target at 80yds that's a lot of kinetic energy
Yep no doubt! And it messes with the accuracy unfortunately, as it crimps the fletchings... :=(. Thanks! Hope you check out some of our other vids, take care
You get what you pay for! I’m impressed!
Yep that thing is wicked!
@@kapperoutdoors I might add that when you have that accuracy I can’t see spending more bucks on an R20, R29 just for more speed.
Very Nice. Thanks for the review.Have checked them out.Seems to be an awesome x-bow. A bit out of my price range. I am shooting a Carbon Express PD 390. Its a nice x-bow for the buck.Had a run-in with a nice buck last weekend and ended up putting my shot under him using the stock set up. I did a little bit of research and really liked the scope that comes on your Ravin. I ordered a new scope tonight. I know my 390 is capable and now I'll have a better optic to back it up. Can't wait to get it dialed in. Its tough too watch a buck with 15-16 inch g-2's keep walking after you miss.We will meet again.
Thanks. I'll top that one... just put a bolt in a 180 class high shoulder, he ducked fast... I think he survived, some other lucky gun hunter will likely bag him this weekend!
Nice shootin'! That bow is impressive.
I need one of those Ravins
Damn Joe....there goes my meds for December.....
Day 1! Damn, friend. Thats gonna make some steaks!
Nice shots Joe!
Thanks, Nice, R is the best, I have R26 is my best toy !!
I sold my old crossbow and 2 guns, to have # 1,
you guys think
Good luck
Good luck to you, they are great cross bows!
Nice job 👍
Great review!! Thanks!!!!!
Thank you I appreciate it!
Taking notes 📝
Gots to get me one!
Awesome crossbow, I'm thinking of getting R10 myself. Don't underestimate the compound bow, my Matthews compound with 70lb draw weight shoots 415grain arrows at 310 fps.
no doubt, the new bows are great. I'm just at a point in life that I have to switch over. Thanks man
Snug as OJs glove, now that’s tight! 😂
i'm buying mine soon. Maybe even go for the R20.
Good luck! Solid units!
@@kapperoutdoors Thanks.
Great enthusiasm with the R10. Just bought one from Cabelas and I'm anxious to sight it in here in west Michigan. The problem is the weather. It's June 1st and already over 94 degrees which is ridiculous. Are you shooting the Raven 003 or 001 arrows? Thanks
I had the 003's and they were spot on. But then on my new R20 I was having grouping issues so I got the 001's. But we figured out it was one of the while rollers that had a tiny rough spot that was sticking a smidge. Se we tried some scent free lube and that cured it! Good luck!
To me I believe. It's hitting at 80
At nearly $1400, it had better be rugged (4:12 / six times the cost of your Bear). ;-)
Still like this Kapper? Thinking about picking up an R20. Not a big fan of the R26/29 length.
The thing shoots pretty well for sure! But in my time of need, (a 180") I hit it a bit high!!! And he ducked a little! Stay tuned to the channel to see that hunt and story! Thanks and good luck!
Once you're out in the field, do you prefer adjusting for distance using holdovers or by actually using the turrets to dial?
With the Ravin scope no need for either, it has hash marks for 20 to 100 yards, nice that way.
How do you turn off the clicking
I believe you hold down the white button and it won't click, but it also won't catch the string if you let go mid stream while you are cranking it. But its easy once you do it once or twice
yup I dry fired my grizzly
Amazing group bud... My concern is if there is enough speed to get good penetration into the deer at that long-range.
My buddy had a pass through on a mature doe at 80 yrds with his r10
Are you shooting the thorns at a bag target if so are you having any problems I know they say it will mess up the broad heads thanks
I took a few shots with a practice thing on them so they don't open just to make sure they were the same as field tips. thanks.
Now that you have had time with the R20, which do you recommend? The R10 or R20?
I can't say just yet. Have not shot the R20 enough. Right now I can't get it nearly as accurate as the R10!! But it is faster. Come hunting season I'll get back at it. I bought some new bolts for it to try. Thanks.
How are you still liking the bow? Any issues. I am wanting to order one
It is a little loud, but otherwise shoots great. Need to get it back out to get ready for this season!!
How are you pulling those arrows out for the square foam targets? I just got one and I can’t pull out my arrow. :(
I guess just Brute Force LOL I don't use anything on the arrows
Use arrow lube and if necessary gloves with rubber on them and both hands. Much easier.
Just curious why didnt the broadhead open....does it have a lock on it
Yes it has a lock on it
Which scope is that,Is that the stock scope that came with the Bow??
Yes, the scope came with it , it is specific to this bow. Thanks.
Like they say,you get what you pay for,and it looks like you got your money's worth.
Roger that!
VERY NICE!! But hey, I know you will probably find something better in a couple weeks. Soooooo, when that time comes, let me go ahead and offer you THREE (brand new) ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS for it. I'll give it a good permanent home! lmao
Man you crack me up Clark lol. Make sure Kap gives you the case and arrows (with new fletchings) too
@@darcywalls6206 Abso-darn-lutely!!!! Everything goes with the deal. Thanks for looking out for me and having my back!!
Before you buy one of these bows try to contact customer service. When they ignore your calls and don’t call you back, imagine having a 2k$ bow and needing service. It’s so frustrating I will never buy from them again.
yeah I'd agree that is not cool! But I had no problem getting a human being in their tech department right away when I called them. Good luck, thanks.
What scope is on it? Thanks
The one that comes with it. It is set up just for that rig. Works great
Is it hard to sight in scope?
Not really, does not take that long. Thanks and good luck.
Can't compare a 230$ crossbow to a 1,300$ crossbow. Most normal range for archery is from 5 yards to 40 yards.
Just demonstrating the differences if you pony up and pay all that extra cash. To some it's worth it, to other's it is not. Thanks.
Not really affordable for most people.
very possible there. I just wanted a little higher quality unit.
@@kapperoutdoors But you have a good use for it, which justifies the extra cost. Enjoy it!
Sorry, but most women don't care about hunting and fishing or any of that stuff. I only watch if it is about your house renovation or things connected with your house. I love watching Mrs Kapper and her renovations and projects. So when I see a video on tractors, lawn mowers, hunting or fishing I never watch them. I know you do have men, also watching these videos but I would say mostly women watch them. Just saying.
No...one...cares... :)
not good at 80 maybe you need more practice ...lol
This video is exactley what i wanted to see thanx
Glad I could help! Best of luck!
