[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 2251986, member: 110162"] After a long career of archery hunting and competitions all over the eastern half of US , my neck finally succumbed to disc and nerve damage from 100 arrows a day . I bought a ridgeline 400fps reverse limb crossbow last year. Shoots great ! Quietly (for a crossbow) shoots a 400gr bolt at 386fps. I cant imagine spending 2800.00 more for a hundred fps increase . I doubt the trajectory difference will be substantial enough to make any difference out to 50yds. A bolt has a lot of drag and the faster you send it , the higher the drag will be, slowing it down at a faster rate. There comes a point of diminishing returns with a bolt or arrow. I spent years studying the effects of velocity on trajectory with an arrow. You hit a wall around 340 where it just isnt worth the extra effort for the very limited return . The raven crossbows are definitely cutting edge, high quality equipment. The speed race going on in the crossbow world has already reached its practical limit. Its just bragging rights at this stage of the velocity game. [/QUOTE]
