The issue, of course, is not one of accuracy but of trajectory. However, for testing purposes, I set a Block target 100 yards into typically brushy hardwood cover and not one arrow made it to the bull’s-eye. The Ravin R26 would be a good choice for hunting open fields, pastures, river banks and the like where there would be no chance of a limb or twig interfering with arrow flight. At longer distances, my arrows were well within a 3-inch circle, even out to 100 yards. Once the crossbow was initially zeroed, I was dead on at 20, 30 and 40 yards, with shots close enough to dead center to require sending one arrow downrange per target. The scope is set up for distances ranging from 20 to 100 yards in 10-yard increments. My review sample was only 3 inches high at 10 yards on the first shot, and before the session was over I was dangerously close to “Robin Hoods” at all distances. The scope must be mounted by the consumer, which means shooting must begin at 10 yards for initial zero, but once the mount screws are tightened permanently, it shouldn’t take more than three or four shots to get on target. Shooters will also love the compact red-green illuminated nine-reticle scope provided with the Ravin R26 package. The quiver then snaps into place on either side of the stock, giving shooters their choice of left- or right-handed arrow storage. The mounting screw is built into the unit and is easily hand-tightened. The crossbow package includes six arrows - double the amount included by most manufacturers - and the quiver mount is a simple one-screw system that takes all of five seconds to secure.
