Also very smart shooting to the left hideing the crossbow behind the body, still with the black T-shirt. A lot if talking instaed of showing the crossbow.

One of my local archery shops told me they had one of these that chrono'd at 507 FPS! At such speed, the arrow reaches 50 yards at .31 of a second. AT 100 yards, .63!!!!

Well of course. It’s the starting speed that is an issue. At 100 yards, that is longer than what you shoot at a deer, the speed is incredible.
Omg I used to work in pro shops ( been awhile) but if we seen a crossbow over 300fps that was fast. Now Ravin is at 500fps!! That is crazy to us old school guys😉😆

Yes sir! I've been crossbow hunting for almost 40 years now. It's been a wild ride and actually very enjoyable watching the different companies compete year after year for fps, accuracy, and the big one...PRICE! I can remember when reaching a speed of 300 fps was a dream! We truly have some awesome crossbows today. But in 2030 when I'm in my 60's these bows will probably be considered slow...can you just imagine that🤔😉

Just for some clarification, the arrows themselves only weigh 300grains. For whatever reason Ravin lists the arrow at 400 grains without explaining that weight is only achieved with a 100grain field point or broadhead on the arrow.

I like that they test the decibel lvls with the bows on this channel. But with this particular unit…at 497fps, it could be as loud as a 12gauge with 3 1/2 magnums. Nothing is dodging this speed.

I bought a r500 was impressed with the speed but the cranking handle was what kinda made me mad I instead got an r26x and the cranking felt way better plus I have shorter 18 inch bolts and gained way more speed out of it

These are no longer the fastest crossbows, Tenpoint just dropped the Nitro 505, which have chronographed at 514/515 with a 400 grain arrow and they have a buy now button on their site for it, not a buy now get it next year

I like Ravin! I must say that TenPoint is kicking Ravin’s butt in the 500 FPS war. I just purchased my first TenPoint, a Nitro 505. The bow clocked 521 FPS with a 400 grain arrow! Being that you loose 1 to 1.5 FPS for every 5 grains of additional weight. That would put me at 504.5 to 509 FPS with a 455 grain arrow! That’s nuts!!!

Do more research, the Ravin’s cocking handle never flew backwards unless you had the silent cocking versions and were holding the button down to enable the silent cocking function. If you let go of that button or were in normal cocking mode there was no backward movement of the cocking handle.

If you can't stick a deer with a 380 fps xbow, the ravin 500 will not pull it off either. 3 to 4k for xbow is not a real option for the common man. Yeah guys kill deer 100 yards away with then. Personally I think any xbow is best used on this side of 30 yards for unalert deer.
@douglasborgaro6801

You make good points! But I'm not sure how you define a "Common Man." I would challenge your position on 30 yard maximum shots. As many things, technology has advanced. As I listed in a previous post, a local archery shop near me had a 500 that chrono'd at 507 FPS. AT such speeds, the time of flight at 50 yards is only .31 of a second. I don't see a deer getting out of the way with that speed. I'm not advocating 100 yard shots, but strictly for academic purposes and discussion the time of flight to 100 yards is .63 of a second. Have I ever taken a shot over 50 yards? No way. You must admit that this technology would make such things possible under the best conditions. This is a modern crossbow and speeds like this also benefit the shooter at closer ranges. With xbows under 340 FPS or even slower, jumping the string is an issue that can come into play and be recognized with a spine shot deer. Regardless, better crossbows with better technology aren't a bad thing.

@@BleedGreenNation Not saying it can't be done. Its just that the noise is there before the bolt is. If unalert your prolly ok. The cheaper xbows get it done. I set up in thicker areas and have 9 feet to 12 yards mostly and keep it this side of 30 on purpose. Some folks don't always have those options I get that. For me though its this side of 30 yards.
