My days with my Elite GT500, with 90 pound limbs, are definitely over. Last year I picked up a new Elite EnKore with 60 pound limbs, what a great bow! And when presented with a Ravin R26 package for a couldn't pass up price, bought that too. I fit pete53's description, busted up old fart that still loves to be out and in it. I look at the Ravin as another tool to be used to keep me going. I've tried and tried recurves and decided it's better for the deer if I don't use one and my primary bow will be the EnKore. But I do like knowing the Ravin is there if I decide to try that too. I did get Ravin's 500gr arrows to use with the 125gr Rage as I like heavy arrows. They help quiet your set-up and have more energy. But what I like the most, is the ability to make it what you want from it and there's pretty much no wrong answer as long as it's legal and ethical.


It isn't what happens to you that defines you, it's what you DO about what happens to you that defines you!
