RAVIN R18 Full (HONEST) Review

Ravin's R18 from 2022 changed the crossbow game in terms of compactness---which is commonly thought to be the crossbow's biggest drawback to hunters. For its radical design that departs from tradition and incredible engineering, JJ gives the R18 due credit. But as you'll see in this video, after full testing and in-the-field hunting use, he hopes the R18 is a launch pad from which Ravin will launch similar crossbows, but with slight improvements. If the innovative company will do this, JJ feels they might just build... the perfect crossbow. Still, for those who value compactness over raw speed, the R18 is second to none.
JJ apologizes about the length of this video. To skip to his conclusions, go to time stamp 14:00
