I was on an all-day hunt recently that turned from raining to freezing conditions. Just before dark, a mature 8 point started working within range. As I attempted to disengage the safety on my R26, I realized that it was frozen and would not budge. I tried everything I could to make the bow function, but the buck spooked and ran off.

I called Ravin and they had never heard of this issue and did not seem too concerned. This is the first and last Ravin product that I will own.

I’m sick over the amount of hours I put in for that one opportunity.

If you hunt in freezing conditions w/ a Ravin, take precautions to not get moisture in the trigger housing.

Good luck hunting
