12 thoughts on “Ravin R10 Crossbow – Independent review and comparison with Wicked Ridge M-370”
I'm getting ready to buy one of these. Can't wait.
Very nice and honest review for sure! But as much as I admire the "Helo Coil" technology that RAVIN has invented and patented (It's available on the Center Point CP 400 which Raven also owns), but I can't justify paying nearly twice as much as the Wicked Ridge M-370 for an entry-level bow! I also find the extremely cantilevered scope mount to be a potential problem! When you upgrade to the R 26, assuming you're willing to pay way more money, at least the scope mount is secured on both the front and the back! So, RAVIN is great and worth the money if you can afford it but I can't wait to get my M-370 delivered! Great video!
Thanks, good review. I leave my safety off while hunt. I’m on private property so it’s just me and no one else to worry about. Have done the same foe gun deer and predator hunting. Spooked to many animals over the years flipping it off. Scared a red fox I called in the other day because I forgot to take it off before starting my call sequence.
the fact the m370 is so light is a feature too often overlooked.
I’m in va and I shoot a ten point stealth x-s. It’s been great and really accurate but it older so it is wide and heavy. It needs a new string so I’m debating just upgrading bows and have been looking at this and wicked ridge. This ravin seems like you get the most increase in features for the money. The 800-900 bows are a little faster then mine (323) and a little smaller but other then that they don’t offer much more then my current bow. For 1300 the ravin is a little faster and much more compact then the competition with a better cocking system. It for 1300 my bow shoots pretty damn good and has never missed a deer this far so i don’t know haha thanks for the info comparing the 2. You made good practice points.
Witch crossbow would you feel better letting a 14 year old use in your opinion?
Wicked Ridge is a great bow. That being said, it is more in the class of high end budget crossbows. It will kill deer all day long. Nonetheless, the Ravin is not a budget bow by any means. This is not to put down the Wicked Ridge in any way. Just different class.
Great review on the Ravin R10 crossbow. Thanks for sharing it. 👍
You know I've got that Ravin r10 crossbow myself and it is a little bit tough to get the quiver in the cocking handle off of the crossbow but I think the reason why they have it so tough is because that cocking handle is like $80 if you lose it and they don't want you losing it in the woods but I also take the quiver off once I get into the tree and I always just keep the cocking handle in my pocket so I don't have to remove that out while I'm in the woods
REAL HUNTERS DOIN REAL REVIEWS!!! WELL DONE GUYS!!
Both seem very capable. Thanks for comparing and sharing.
I have a Rampage 360. This year my limbs started to splinter wickedridge covered under warranty but it was just at the peak of the rut I was out my crossbow. So I ended up ordering a raven R10 on a black Friday deal. Still waiting to get it. I’m pretty excited to be able to Decock my crossbow.
