Inside the box contains the new Ravin 3-Dot Reflex Sight for an easy target acquisition, three 350-grain 16-inch R18 arrows with field points and a removable draw handle. The 6-pound R18 features a detachable stock with an integrated removable quiver system, built-in cocking mechanism for an easy draw, anti-dry fire/auto safety and built in sling mounts. Using the VertiCoil Cam System, the limbs of the R18 expand vertically instead of horizontally for an axle-to-axle height of just 1.3 inches when fully cocked or 4.1 inches uncocked. “The R18 is a unique takedown-style crossbow and has the latest groundbreaking and innovative technology from Ravin.” “Every year we identify and obliterate boundaries no one else in our industry sees,” says Doug Guthrie, New Product Development at Ravin. ![]() This system rotates the R18’s ultra-small cams 720 degrees, wrapping the crossbow string and cables around the cam and cam axle, resulting in an astounding axle-to-axle height of just 1.3 inches when cocked. The proprietary VertiCoil Cam System that powers the R18 takes already legendary HeliCoil Technology and-literally-cranks it up. Unlike any other crossbow in history, the takedown-style R18 is a narrow 4.75 inches wide only 18 inches long without its detachable stock configuration. Ravin turns traditional crossbow design on its head with the R18, using the new VertiCoil Cam System to compact a full-power crossbow into a weapon a fraction of the size of all others. Seriously Small and Extra Wicked: Introducing the Ravin R18 RAVIN INTRODUCES FIRST EVER TAKEDOWN-STYLE CROSSBOW I may put in a call to Ravin, just to get their feedback on such a suggestion.Ravin turns traditional crossbow design on its head with the R18, using the new VertiCoil Cam System to compact a full-power crossbow into a weapon a fraction of the size of all others, firing arrows downrange at 330 feet per second. Third Delay called said just got everything all tuned in on the ensemble line and. Second delay called them and they said just got new parts in will be going out the door. First delay called Ravin they told me problems with quality control on some parts. This would utilize the crossbow's speed capabilities and possibly make it last longer, along with making it a little quieter too. (Edited) Ordered Ravin R500 Sniper months ago.I'd like to build a 650 grain bolt with a 16% to 20% FOC. My Ravin shoots a 400 grain bolt at 400 fps. High maintenance, for high performance, at a cost to the buyer. ![]() In effect, the crossbow manufacturers have built a "hot rod" that's going to only produce so many shots, before it blows up, BUT they've built in a "guideline" for the purchaser to replace limbs and cables. it will void the warranty of the crossbow. So, if you alter a crossbow bolt, like making it heavier, adding wight forward (FOC), etc. Meaning, you have to use Ravin bolts, knocks, etc. Thing is.all crossbow manufacturers equipment is proprietary. I've not looked into it, but it might help.some. That can actually ruin a hunt if you don't have a pair of needle nose pliers on hand to get it out.ģ Rivers Archery has weight tubes, that fill the inside of an arrow. They can be difficult to seat when they are new, and I've also had them get stuck on the string and pull out of the bushing when removing the arrow on a couple of occasions. The capture nocks can be a pain sometimes.You can buy the bushings and nocks, but they aren't cheap. But I also build my own, so not a huge deal. Personally, I like to have more stock options. Ravin uses proprietary nocks and nock bushings, so you are mostly beholden to their arrows.Also then had to get heavier inserts (or just use heavier broadheads) to ensure the finished arrows stay at 400gn or above. Would be nice if Ravin made some arrows like this already. For the R26 specifically, the stock 20" arrows stick out too far, so I ended up cutting them down to about 17" to avoid bumping it while hunting.I imagine the "X" versions are even better cranking systems, but I haven't used one.Ī couple of gripes with it, and they all have to do with the arrows: Very accurate and the easiest crank system to use, IMO.
