Ravin R26

I'd get the package from Wyvern upgraded scope,case,extra bolts a really good deal

Wyvern is the man:- ) and the R26 is THE crossbow

Unless you are planning to hunt with it this year...I would see what upgrades come out in 2020....

Unless they have a push button electric cocking device . I just don’t see how they could improve on the R26.

It is a really nice bow! I changed out the quiver. So maybe a better quiver would be nice. The bow is so short that the quiver and arrows got a little in the way for me. I might end up carrying them separately. I also put a different scope on it although that probably wasn't necessary, I just wish there was better glass out there for crossbows in general.

I am kind of curious what they can do in 2020 to make it better. I would like to see the safety in a better location. But other than that, it is a really accurate fast, small, light for a crossbow, package. If there is a new one for 2020 maybe you can get a deal on the R26?

ok safety AND pushbutton electric cocking would be nice! lol

I never did like a quiver on my crossbow or compound either . I always had a quiver for my back . Moon and I have shortened our arrows to 18 inches . These arrows fly great .i added
Weight to mine both front and rear . 472 gr

18 inches would be nice. Are there any commercial bolts available that will work?

Thanks for the tip. I will get some 18 inchers to try

I don't need short arrows since I have an R10 and an R20, but I did notice in the Iowa state DNR code that arrows must be at least 18 inches long for hunting. I don't know if that includes the length of the broad-head or not.

I am luckier than most I guess , I have a small lathe . So I made my nock inserts out of brass to add weight to the rear of my arrow . I wanted a heavier arrow than a 400 gr . Mine. Weigh 474 gr with 100 gr broadhead . I’m shootings in the upper 370s to mid 380s . Which is plenty fast . The extra 72 gr should be a lot easier on my bow too . My best friend. Is real good working on bows , he is going to put a firenock rest on it for me , and put a THREDZ string set on it for me . He works for them and they make an awesome set of strings . . Gosh I sure do love this bow .
