New Crossbows for 2020

Ravin R29X

Ravin’s new R29X still features its patented HeliCoil Technology for better long-range accuracy, a quieter shot, vastly improved string life and a narrow 6-inch axle-to-axle width. But the company added a new Silent Cocking System to ensure the bow is in silent mode continuously, each and every time it’s cocked. The R29X's 12.5-inch power stroke produces 180-foot pounds of kinetic energy and shoots a staggering 450 feet per second with a 400-grain arrow. Customers can opt for the standard R29X, or choose an upgrade to the R29X Sniper Package. The latter option features a tactical crossbow scope, .001 Arrows and the Jack Plate Adjustable Elevation Mount, both in Predator Dusk Camo. MSRP: $2,649.99 standard; $3,049.99 Sniper Package | ravincrossbows.com

RX7-Cams, DUAL FLEX limbs and SLING-SHOT technology boost arrow speeds up to 470 fps. The high strength-to-weight ratio of the NEW TEC-X stock and a lightweight CNC machined 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum riser reduce weight to 8-pounds while a new 20-inch -MICRO-TRAC fluted aluminum barrel reduces flight deck surface by 50 percent for longer string life. And the new ACUslide features an Auto-Brake Gear System that allows for silent cocking and safe and controlled de-cocking.
