Ravin R500E Crossbow Package w/ Electric Drive Cocking System 

Even though it's expensive to me, it's awesome that people that have disabilities can enjoy bow hunting as well. Definitely want to "draw" it back before going to area you are hunting.

Man I thought I wanted one but dang the electric drive is so loud.

Nice product... looks good, seems to work well. Having the manual crank is great because the only real issue I see without actual use is the motor, it's a bit loud, could be an alarm when hunting, depending on the environment.

I saw all the deer run as soon as he hit that button….and the only deer left walked away while the motor “cooled down”

I may invest in this bow

If you put a better class of motor in it and made it draw faster, it would be faultless imo .Imagine a magazine attachment as well. Still a hell of tool.

Holy crap, that's loud af. Cool technology though

The disadvantage of R500E is that after each launch, you need to manually press & hold switch, move to the start position, change another switch, press & hold switch again, the string is pulled to full.

That's really cool!

I like this crossbow, I really do, and the reason that I watched this video was to research it a bit more. I live in Texas, and we have a local WMA that has a special archery only hog season in which this (crossbows and other bows, in general) and air-powered arrow rifles would be legal as a means of take. The take is unlimited (naturally, since it is hogs we are talking about) so fast reloads and noise discipline are the limiting factors in the decision-making process as to whether or not to buy. With some arrow air rifles coming close to arrow speeds as this crossbow, the delay (for whatever reason that it was designed into this crossbow) is a deal breaker. I can reload my 405 fps crossbow or an arrow rifle at a much faster rate, and much, much quieter for both (there are now some double-barreled crossbows and arrow rifles that address the fast reload problem). Ravin has the noise and reload speed kinks to iron out before I pull the trigger on the purchase, but credit to their engineers, they have, again, designed a smoking fast crossbow.

Only deaf deers and those wearing BEATS headphones in the woods won’t hear that electronic carriage bolt restringing arrows

$3,300 smackers to scare every deer out of the area ? 🤔

I am on the side that aside from the access constrained, these don't belong in archery season. Glad it can help those who have a need.

Can you make a video how loud this motor is? Of course the system needs power, but is there no (almost) silent motor cocking solution? Greets!

Wow… super quiet!

Good idea . I recently was attacked and had the crap kicked out of me. Used my hands to protect myself and they Broke both my wrists . This will be helpful

It's it compatible with Milwaukee M12 batteries?

glad i watched this the delay has made my mind up to not get this

I am in a wheelchair. This crossbow is amazing. And i would love to have one but guess what? its 4 grand. not many can afford that kind of cash. Nice unit though.

You couldn't incorporate quiet gearing and motors into this thing?

Looks awesome, but damn is that motor loud

Sighting in the R500 takes some time and cocking the X-bow with the hand crank can get very tiring very fast. I just ordered the automatic cocking motor. As to the noise issue mentioned in several of the commits, I would cock my X-bow where I park my truck (which makes way more noise then the cocking motor). This motor will be a welcome addition to my X-bow experience.😃🛻

LOUD AF!!!!

Maybe offer a rental at ranges for the practice and tutorials needed at a clinic.

Bambi going to hear that crank bra

Technology advances people.. this is a great step forward… the motors will get quieter as time goes on

Niceeee ❤️

Good Lord could you get any louder? For the type of money I'm being asked to pay for this I wanted to work right now and very quietly. If I need to reload in a stand I need it to happen quiet. Anybody got any idea on why they can't figure this out? This would be a great tool if it was silent and I didn't have to wait 5 minutes to put it in reverse. Joking about the 5 minutes but it does look like it takes quite a long. This is supposed to be one of the world's premier weapons. It definitely should show it and how quiet it is.

I mean it's cool and a huge step forward though that motor needs to be made silent. It's comically loud.

Its loud, wouldnt it scare game away? When he pushed the button to load the bolt it was loud

It should come with a siren to drown out the sound of that motor.

Well that won't scare any deer !!!

Slick X-Bow! Cocking Device is Kinda loud! Cost as much as a decent rifle and scope!

Very cool but....UNGODLY LOUD

They should have asked Milwaukee to make the motor. It would have been much faster and quieter.

Just two guys talkin about toys but also it is two warriors talking about the only thing that matters-tools that are made to stop hearts from beating. Also that pesky brain function can be a problem but if the heart goes that function is only good for near death experience visions.

I installed a ATN 4k Pro scope on mine, day or night ... nothing is safe in my neighborhood anymore.

This was Soo loud i thought something broke. Wild life will be running away the moment they hear this loading. I guess this was done on purpose to improve the chance of the dear.

It would make sense if it had a magazine and would draw a lot faster so you'd have a semi-auto. But this nahh unnecessary

This electric motor noice kills my interest in on spot, can you imagine sitting on stand and try reload this thing, you scare all animals in nearest zoo 20 miles away.

I love this 🤣 do most people need this? Hell no. But this technology will improve, and get more affordable relatively quickly.

World's deadliest inkjet printer

Yeah give me a website or something or get some info this is too slow how about

The delays make no sense. As an electrical tech and electronic tech, I see no reason why there would be a delay unless it is intentional which again makes no sense. I'll pass on it.

I need it cus im lazy

If the limbs don’t blow up on it that motor will scare everything away in the woods!!!

Of course it's for everyone,what are you talking about

Not worth the money, crossbow are getting crazy expensive yet the bolts remain light even at the crazy fast speeds.

Won’t survive a zombie apocalypse

Do what?

I dont like the Noise and the Delay of the Motor

I'm reminded of an old saying about a fool and his money. There's a lot easier ways to kill stuff. Ya know?

Spendy 😬 somebody with an engineering degree should come up with something cheaper using a DeWalt drill motor and Battery setup, and self loading..

Tenpoint nitro 505 blows this junk out of the water ... you will thank me in the long run trust me

Costs as much as a small truck. Lol

all that time to cock the string, the crossbow doesn't even have a magazine.

I cannot believe you guys didn't listen to the obnoxious sound that motor makes I might as well get my bull horn & start screaming. Wow what a waste of an invention, really great idea for a motor that has to cool down are u freaking kidding me

Omg the motor is ridiculously loud. Uffdaa

why is it so loud , good luck with being stealthy not worth 3600 bux

Not an archer, so maybe I don't what I'm talking about, but isn't that motors racket gonna scare all the game away? Or are the dear y'all hunt a special deaf breed I never heard of? Geez! For nearly 4 grand you'd think they could make a quieter motor.

Everything about this bow is too loud for hunting. Sounds like your putting up drywall

the noise is terrible... without the noise would be something to think about it.

Poor muzzle control

Rich and handicapped lol

WAY to loud

Don’t waste your money, hunters won’t take this thing to the woods with that scary loud motor. Hard pass! Should be $99.00

aucun intérêt pour cette parlotte

For millionaire shooters. And OMG, the noise! 😱 👎

The worst customer service and warranty!!!! Do not buy Ravin

Too loud for field.
