How to maintain the Ravin R470?

Proper maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your Ravin R470 and ensuring optimal performance. Begin by cleaning the crossbow after each use, focusing on the limbs, string, and rail, to remove any debris or moisture. Use a soft cloth and specialized cleaning solution for crossbows to prevent damage. Additionally, regularly check for any signs of wear on the string and replace it at least every year or after 150 shots, whichever comes first. For instance, if you find fraying on the string, replace it immediately before your next hunt. Pro tip: store your crossbow in a cool, dry place, and use a protective case when transporting it to prevent damage. However, if you’re not comfortable with DIY maintenance, consider having your crossbow serviced by a professional annually.
