Alpine Ravage -  the perfect combination

ALPINE Archery always seems to design bows that combine all that is desired in a high performance bow. It may be a knack, uncanny knowledge or just total dedication. Whatever it is, it’s certainly evident in the new RAVAGE. Here is a short bow, made for maneuverability and speed with the stability and balance usually found only in longer compounds.  

Bob Proctor, ALPINE President describes the RAVAGE; “This bow integrates several design criteria.  We wanted a very short, compact bow but the stability and balance of a longer axle-to-axle bow.  This was a challenging aspect considering how short this bow is. As we developed the design with our state-of-the-art, solid modeling software, we were able to analyze the mass weight and balance points. The result is a short, fast bow that is amazingly easy and forgiving to shoot.”

The RAVAGE is part of Alpine’s new VX series that feature a Parallel Limb design and Bi-Polar Riser with an ‘Inter-Loc’ Limb Mounting System. In addition, Alpine’s patented Fast Trac one cam system with sealed ball bearings in both the idler and the lower cam (introduced in 1997’) are installed on this hot new bow making it part of their Fast Trac Series line up. Their unique limb system stops the limbs from moving during the shot sequence to silence the shot and reduce vibration. The design encases the limb in a nylon liner, preventing it from contacting the riser. This is then fitted into an innovative limb pocket where it dampens the shock and vibration of each shot.
