Been shooting a Ravin R26 for 10 months. Not modifying anything on it. The bow is awesome.

Why fix what aint broken.
I've gone through several Xbows over the last three years. Holy mackerel I'm hooked! Much needed passion at my current stage in life.
Gotta give props to my tactical (sniper like) Barnett TS370. That little sucker is not going anywhere. It's compact enough, light enough and is trouble free shooter. Deadly accurate out to 70-80 yards too. Also, trigger tech is without a doubt legit setup. Barnett got this one right! Don't let this small cam setup fool you. It shoots 400 grain arrows 368-370 fps out of the box with minor TLC. Also, not hard to cock and only Xbow I've owned that actually has let off 2/3rds of the way through the manual rope cocking process and you can purchase a crank cocking device if you require it.
I have a new 2020 BearX Constrictor Strata this a fast shooter but time will tell if it impresses me like my Barnett TS370 has. I hope so. What I do know my TS370 is one Xbow that will not get fixed because it flat out performs.
Now I won't say it's better as a general statement for everyone but I will say it fits me perfectly for my hunting needs and I feel my requirements are quite high but reasonable. I require repeatable performance. The rest is noise to me. I don't require 450fps Xbow to hunt. I need something I have confidence in. I found it!

I must agree that TS370 was one of the best bows ever built. The price point is fantastic and with a few little tweaks you have a real performer. It's build quality is high and accuracy straight out of the box is incredible. I will keep mine forever. It's a great little bow for tight blinds and lite enough to carry all day long. Barnett hit a grand slam with that bow.

Interesting that this old thread (by a member that was banned no less) has been brought back up. It’s also interesting to me to see how different members hunt, and what they value in a setup. I like what I have, and continue to take deer at an average distance between 20 and 25 yards, so to me, speed isn’t important. I can see how it might be for others. In the next week, I will be changing both my stands out to adapt to changing deer movement. The one place is more open, and my head is already churning about what faster bow might interest me (even though I have two that can shoot 360+. I call it crossbow forum effect.

Lol I didn't pay no attention to the time of the thread. Why did he get banned 😂Interesting that this old thread (by a member that was banned no less) has been brought back up.

I have been shooting/hunting the same 2 bows for 7 or 8 years. Everytime i think i want a new bow i go cock and shoot one of them and think why. A week or better ago one had a limb sliver i took it to a dealer on Tuesday it was back in my hands Friday with zero cost to me other than gas driving 10 miles if that.
There discontinued but still carry a lifetime warranty. There not for everyone but they suit me and in this case i'm the only one that matters.
Find what likes you and how you hunt and like it back.
