16 meals packed ready for freezer. Got more than I thought I would off the deer. We have already had 2 meals on top of these.

Yes clean pass through, never found the bolt as must have buried itself into the scrub behind.

Hard work paid off. First for the Xbow

Took this fawn this morning after I couldn't get a clear shot on its mother and the roaring stags further up the ridge weren't coming down. Made around 13m...

Hopefully better luck than last year, and I'm also planning more time out this year. Last year if I went un-armed deer where close and when I had my bow they where km's away!

Perfectly, haven't done the group for those distances I promised. Bolts all fitted with broadheads ready to harvest some venison

Yes will do that for you

Nope no way near the sound of a 22. It surprised me how quiet it is when I first started shooting it. As Sauer says the noise of the bolt hitting the target makes more noise that the xbow shooting...

This was the third target I got. I destroyed the first set of bolts ripping the fletching off. This target is filled with 20kg of rags ($70 for the target bag from H&F) and yes it stops them dead....

60m after the wind got up

Yes I've been very impressed with the accuracy. I think 60 is most likely the best comfortable distance.

Those Ravin xbows are amazing. Just had a good look in mine, all is aluminium but there will be Steel bits in the trigger assembly. Keeping up with maintenance like any gun will keep it from rusting.

20m, 40m and 60m it is hitting dead on. Wind got too gusty to stretch it further out on Thursday afternoon. Will post photos once I get my computer from work

Yep I don't need a crank. They are great if you have a disability though so they have their place.

I understand that parts will be available. Hopefully I don't have any severe failures.

Will post some accuracy results once my target arrives.

Well finally its here and apparently I am one of the first in NZ to receive one :)
