What bolts do I use with Ravin R26X?

You should use Ravin-branded bolts specifically designed for the R26X model for optimal performance. These bolts are engineered to work seamlessly with the crossbow's mechanisms, ensuring accuracy and safety. The Ravin R26X typically uses 400-grain bolts that are 20 inches long, which help maintain the crossbow’s impressive speed and kinetic energy upon release.

Using the right bolts is crucial for achieving the desired performance when shooting. The crossbow’s design maximizes the efficiency of these specific bolts, providing better penetration and accuracy. Other bolts may not fit correctly, leading to poor performance or even damage to the crossbow.

For instance, a user may experience decreased accuracy when using heavier or lighter bolts, as these can alter the trajectory and speed. Many users have noted a marked improvement in their shooting results when they stick to the recommended specifications.

Pro Tip: Always inspect your bolts for damage before use; a damaged bolt can lead to inaccurate shots or accidents.

However, if you are in a situation where you cannot find the recommended bolts, it’s crucial to consult with a professional or refer to the user manual before making alternate choices.
