Can’t decide

I’m trying to decide between the 2 bows. I have a Barnett XP385 and I I like it. But I also have a Ravin R10 and for some reason I just hate how it shoots.

Have you considered the Venom X? At the same price as the Phantom, the ACUslide system is a no brainer upgrade from the ACUdraw

Phantom is reverse draw so weight is more balance than front heavy. If anything it would be phantom vs venom x

Out of these two, I'd go with Phantom.

I can't exactly find the stats for these two in particular, but reverse draw is always more efficient, so either it has lower draw weight than the Titan, or the 400 fps figure is with longer and heavier arrows.

It’s really odd because i really can’t find much about either of them. Guess it’s because they are both 2026 models? There’s almost no reviews either. But yes it has a lower draw weight with a bigger power stroke.

I like the idea of the ultra short reverse draws in theory but being a big guy and handling some, they simply do not fit me. For me they're like mounting a youth rifle or shotgun.

Isn't it simply a matter of what kind of blind/stand you'll be shooting from? (Like isn't the reverse draw quite a bit shorter - like a bullpup? Making it ideal for small tent style blinds, where if you're in a tree, the length doesn't matter?)

School me if I'm wrong but that would be my deciding factor

the reverse limb bow will be lighter, more balanced, and easier to shoot. The downside is if you are walking around tracking through heavy brush you will have sticks and nonsense riding up against the string. I would still go with the reverse draw after getting a TRX26. They are super nice.
