What bolts do I need for Ravin R18?

The Ravin R18 requires specific bolts designed for optimal performance and compatibility. You should use Ravin's proprietary 400-grain bolts for best results, as they are engineered to match the crossbow's speed and power. Using the right bolts not only improves accuracy but also ensures safe operation of the crossbow. The manufacturer recommends only using bolts that meet their specifications to avoid any mishaps or performance issues.

These bolts come with a nock and are designed to fit perfectly in the R18's firing mechanism. They are also built to withstand the crossbow's draw weight and speed, which are critical for effective shooting. Many users highlight that using the correct bolts significantly reduces the risk of mishaps during shooting.

For instance, novice users often purchase a set of Ravin bolts alongside their R18 to ensure compatibility and avoid frustration. This approach can lead to a smoother initial experience with the product.

Pro Tip: Stock up on bolts, especially if you plan on practicing frequently, as they can wear out over time.

Consideration: If you’re looking for lower-cost alternatives, be cautious, as using the wrong bolts can lead to serious safety issues.
