2019's Most Powerful Crossbows

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.

First Look: Wicked Ridge Ranger X2 Crossbow

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.

New for 2019: TenPoint Nitro XRT Crossbow

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.

New for 2019: Ravin R26 Crossbow

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.
