The Ravin R29X is a bullpup-style crossbow for hunters who want 450 fps of speed in a short, light bow that handles well in blinds, thick cover and treestands. Moving the trigger forward of the stock gives the R29X a longer power stroke without a longer bow, so it reaches 450 fps and 180 ft-lbs at only 29 inches long and 6.75 lbs. The integrated silent crank cocks and de-cocks the bow quietly. It comes ready to hunt with an illuminated scope, arrows and a quiver.
This is the black R29X, Ravin part number R040, with the standard 100-yard illuminated scope. The XK7 camo and red-dot (RDS) versions are separate models. The 6.75 lbs figure on some listings is the bow's actual weight, and the cocking effort is 12 lbs.
Key features
- Bullpup layout: 29 inches overall with a longer power stroke than a conventional bow of the same length.
- HeliCoil Technology: the cams rotate 340 degrees and stay perfectly level, keeping the bow about 6 inches wide when cocked.
- Silent cocking with Versa-Draw: the built-in crank takes about 12 lbs of effort, is ambidextrous, runs silently on a one-way bearing, and also de-cocks.
- Trac-Trigger Firing System: centers the string on every draw for straight nock travel, with automatic safety, anti-dry-fire and a pull of about 4 lbs.
- Frictionless Flight System: the arrow and string float above the rail for consistent shots and longer string life.
- Light to carry: 6.75 lbs, with an ambidextrous soft-touch stock and built-in sling mounts.
