Yes it has the brake and yes I was holding it down to keep the click out, but what I didn’t pay attention to is I have the R26X which has a silent crank anyway.

What made the decision on the 26?
I am looking at Ravins to replace my old Parker.
Right now, the 10, 26 and 29 are what I am looking at.
Apparently the 10 is longer than the 26 and 29?
Speed does not really concern me that much, my Parkers were rated 330 and 380 and I never saw a single deer flinch before the arrow got there. If they did, I could not see it.
The 10’s are less expensive but I want to buy once and cry once.
My 70 year old brother is buying my current Parker and my bride green lighted the Ravin…. (he will
My boys shoot the r 29 its super compact and. Shoots 425 fr per second . I can't even see the bolt until it hits the target . I believe the 29 x shoots 25 ft per second faster and may be a touch slimmer . The 29x does come with silent cocking . I don't think you can go wrong with the 26 29 or 29x . All about what fits you the best . And are insanely fast .Roscoe don’t listen to me … I have the original R9 so probably totally different
Jake can stack them at 100 with it though
He’s killed some turkeys with it and so buddies killed a few deer … not used much but deadly
With that said they are extremely fast but also extremely dangerous . I know a fella that took a finger off last fall . .
I watch my boys hands religiously when they are practicing or hunting . I stick to my vertical bow until temps get frigid and the heavy clothes come out . You will be happy with any of em .
