Ravin Crossbows has introduced its new R26 crossbow, the company’s most compact, lightweight crossbow to date. Weighing in at 6.5 pounds, the R26 is sending arrows off the rail at speeds of 400 fps from a 9.5-inch powerstroke, and has a mere 5.75-inch axle-to-axle width when fully drawn.

Made for hunting and maneuverability at just 7.4 pounds, 30.7 inches long and 7 inches wide when cocked, the new Nitro XRT shoots 370-grain arrows at a speedy 470 fps and delivers 25 percent flatter arrow trajectory, generating impressive downrange accuracy and power.

Designed specifically to introduce crossbow hunting to youth, women and small-framed shooters, the Ranger X2 features a 150-pound draw weight and 4S cams in an easy-to-handle platform, packaged with a cocking device, quiver and arrows.

Here's a detailed look at the most powerful crossbows on the market this year, including notable features and the pros and cons of each.

Powered by a reverse-draw design that utilizes the full 17 inches of power stroke, the Vapor RS470 generates supercharged speeds up to 470 fps and is equipped with the TenPoint’s new revolutionary ACUslide silent cocking and safe de-cocking system.

The latest addition to Excalibur’s Micro crossbow platform, the new Assassin 400 TD has the narrowest profile of the entire Assassin family and features the company’s Quick-Loc takedown system, a silent integrated Charger crank, an anti-dry fire system and more.

The lightest crossbow on the market at only 5.8 pounds, the all-new M-370 measures an incredibly narrow 9.5-inches wide and shoots up to a blazing 370 fps.

The Viper S400 is among the best crossbows we’ve ever tested in terms of value, features and performance. It’s safe, easy to draw and de-cock, quiet, compact, plenty powerful and ridiculously accurate.
