    We are about modern weapons. We enjoy the old stuff and the new stuff, but what we've never discussed on MAC before are crossbows. Being heavily reengaged with hunting lately, I decided to jump into crossbows with a new Ravin R10 crossbow. This will open up a whole new dimension to our hunting and may even segue into a B channel dedicated to hunting. Anyway, join me on my first range session with my new Ravin R10 crossbow!

    Crossbows are not archery. They should be reserved the old folks and crippled people. Get a real bow.

    • @Militaryarmschannel
      @Militaryarmschannel  6 років тому +518

      That's so exceptionally silly. Rifles are for "crippled people". The childishness in various communities is astounding. People with disabilities aren't to be pigeonholed because you think they're less capable. I've seen a man without arms firing a bow. I hate it when people say, "Oh, that person has a disability so I assume they can't do X". Bullshit. ua-cam.com/video/N07x9Z6VPW4/v-deo.html

      Ya its awesome isn't it? Pretty cool that he's willing to go out of his way to point out someone who is stating facts. Fact is using a crossbow during archery seasons is ridiculous. Want to use it during rifle season? Crossbow away. You don't have to practice, you cant get busted drawing your cross"bow". You literally pick it up, sight it in and go. Actual archery (even Compound which is relatively easy these days, but still more difficult than a cross"bow") requires practice, form, knowledge on what and how to shoot. #yourbootlickinggameisstrong

    Grew up around the corner from a Archey store that sold Matthew's bows. The owners taught me how to shoot both bow and rifle overtime in exchange for working for him as a young kid, putting on arrow heads, mowing yards, etc just random odds and ends no child labor laws being broken dont worry lmfao. Some of best life lessons I learned on that range & probably wouldn't be half the man I am today without their guidance.

    Good to see you looking into other forms of fun. Crossbows are a ton of fun, as are regular bows. And you're right, many normal archery folks are huge snobs when it comes to crossbows, and they look down on those who like them. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

  • @Sagittariustoo
    @Sagittariustoo 6 років тому +9

    Congratulations on your new Ravin, Tim.
    It's a cool crossbow.
    Personally, I don't like to shoot at game beyond 40 yards with mine because my arrows still don't have near the velocity of a bullet and the deer or other game can move out of the kill zone on a 100 yard shot before the arrow arrives from even the fastest crossbow.
    You're correct in saying arrows instead of bolts.
    All modern crossbows shoot arrows, not bolts.
    Bolts are a thing of medieval times and way shorter than the arrows used by modern crossbows !

  • @virginiacamper
    @virginiacamper 6 років тому +34

    So, a little CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. As you get better with a crossbow (or even a regular bow), your groups will get even tighter. Start putting up multiple targets, and only shoot one bolt (arrow) per target. That way you don’t destroy fletchings. I’m not a rich man, so I can’t afford to replace arrows all the time. Just a good rule of thumb.

    • @eeikewok2901

    • @Militaryarmschannel
      @Militaryarmschannel  6 років тому +10

      I just learned that the hard way. :) Thanks for the advice. These things are so stinking accurate you will damage the bolts if you don't shoot one per target. That's insane! I love this thing.

    • @virginiacamper
      @virginiacamper 6 років тому +4

      Military Arms Channel yep. They’re way more accurate than people realize.
      Practice by hanging ping-pong balls by stings on that foam target wall. The only way you’ll get the balls to pop, is to hit them dead center. It’s a fun game to play at the range with other crossbow shooters.

    Thank you... FINALLY... someone who gave a well informed review of actual footage of use. Especially and honestly from a novice perspective. I am in the market for a crossbow and have been looking at the market and learning what I could. Many... many years ago I shot a bow and was a archery hunter. I am retired military and fully retired now. Leading to my decision to transition to a crossbow over a compound bow. Because of how well your program and product presentation is in this. I instantly subscribed and of course the like button. I may not spend as much money for the Ravin. But it is suddenly a huge option for me. But the information was such that it really helps in my learning to get into a crossbow. Thank you.

    Thanks for this review/ instruction video. Am looking at getting into using a crossbow as I get older and it is nice to have a novice walk through it, nothing is assumed and nothing got missed! As far as Crossbows not be archery, well all I have to say is, whatever keeps a gal or guy in the woods is a good thing.

      YoderTexas not sure if any aluminum arrows are safe for that kind of force or speed

    • @YoderTexas
      @YoderTexas 6 років тому

      Chris Strange - I have been out of archery for well over 40 years, so I make no assumption that aluminum is safe, nor that it is unsafe, for use in a compound crossbow. I never implied that, one way or the other. You apparently do not know either, by your admission that you are "not sure", so who are you to try to school me?

    • @chris3383
      @chris3383 6 років тому

      YoderTexas I'm not trying to "school" anyone 400 fps is the fastest arrow speed I've heard of there may be an aluminum arrow maker out that can make one for that kinda speed ....I have 2 compound bows 65lbs and an 80lbs I was recommended carbon fiber for the 80 because of the speed which is around 340's fps ...I also have 40 and 10mm 40 sucks t-shirt is a long standing joke on this channel

    • @YoderTexas

    • @Militaryarmschannel
      @Militaryarmschannel  6 років тому +11

      No doubt, but you won't be shooting arrows at 400fps and won't be killing things at 100 yards. There is a trade-off.

    • @Militaryarmschannel
      @Militaryarmschannel  6 років тому +3

      The Chinese were known to use the crossbow as far back as the 4th Century BC. Why? Because they were far more effective in combat and they could train people to use them more quickly. That's like saying the US Military is cheating because we use stealth jets, GPS, attack helicopters, Mk19's and M1A1 tanks. Bzzzt, wrong answer. Technology rocks. I bet the same people saying crossbows take no skill to use have an AR15 in the closet with a red dot sight or magnified optic. Learn how to use iron sights and hit man sized targets at 600 yards like I can. if you can't, you're not a real rifleman.

      No doubt and I'm not hating on the crossbow, and it definitely has it's uses. For me thought, I think the bow is a bit more even when it comes to what it can do and adapting to different scenarios.
      Also you can shoot an arrow with a bow beyond 100 yards as well but probably won't be as accurate as a modern crossbow.

    • @BurnTheNuance

      brievolz84 Too be fair Mac said "kill at 100 yards", if you're hunting anything bigger than foul and you take that shot with a bow you're kinda a jack ass. Isn't the point of hunting to kill the animal as clean as possible? Always how I was taught.

I immediately was super charged about it. In a few days my local archery shop is getting a Ravin R10. As you can imagine I will be trying it out as well. I look forward to future archery/hunting videos on the Military Arms channel. Keep up the good work.

      Don't be so sure. We don't need super powerful crossbows. This is an assault bow because it fires a bolt at 400fps. Everyone knows that 300fps is all you really need. Expect the NRA to ask the ATF to regulate them.

    Older video, but good to watch for many reasons. I was recurve/compound for nearly 50 years - then shoulder surgery stepped in. I will say that crossbows are harder to hunt with than a traditional compound. More movement, in my opinion. Hunting is hunting. I don't use a rifle, because I don't feel it's a challenge - but it is. Hunt, get in the woods, enjoy the world around you. Thanks for the video.
