    Well i decided to bite the bullet and buy a crossbow. I have always been a compound bow gal but things arent what they use to be so to speak. I have to admit i was intrigued when i first saw the "Ravin R9". Did a little research and after shooting it....all i can say is wow! Paid for it on the spot. Yes it has a few draw backs being so new & not alot of accessories out for it other than name brand but that will come. Best thing i like about it is the place where i bought it can service it! No packing, shipping & re-sighting in upon return! It is wicked fast and accurate. Just to test the monster, i took it out to 90 yards and shot it....one inch low of center bullseye! Only ither thing on it that could use some work by the company in my opinion is the safety mechanism other than that, im stoked again to get into the tree!!

    Grats. I too switched to a crossbow this year. I can't pull a bow back with my bad shoulder.

    I got a crossbow a couple years ago, a Excalibur. Love it but still love to hunt with a compound.
