Ravin R18 Vertical Crossbow – The Ultimate Compact Powerhouse
Innovation in Every Inch
The R18 redefines what "compact" means. Measuring only 25 inches (63.5 cm) in length with a featherlight weight of 6 lbs (2.7 kg), it offers unparalleled maneuverability. Need even more portability? The stock is fully detachable, reducing the weapon to a sub-compact size for easy transport. Despite its small stature, it packs a punch, firing arrows at 330 FPS with 85 ft-lbs of kinetic energy.
The integrated cocking mechanism is built directly into the bow, allowing you to draw the string effortlessly with just 12 lbs of force. The package includes a premium Ravin 3-Dot Reflex Sight, ensuring rapid target acquisition in dynamic shooting scenarios.
Package Contents:
- Ravin R18 Crossbow with Detachable Stock
- Ravin 3-Dot Reflex Sight
- Built-in Cocking Mechanism
- Removable Quiver
- 3x Ravin R18 Specific 16" Arrows (350 Grain) with Field Points
Usage and Care
This crossbow is purpose-built for quick moves and shots. The vertical limb configuration means the limbs expand vertically rather than horizontally during the shot, keeping your lateral profile minimal at all times. It is the ideal companion for the modern hunter who values stealth and agility.
Critical Note on Ammo: The R18 requires specific 16-inch R18 arrows. Do not attempt to use standard 20-inch Ravin arrows or any other bolts, as this will cause catastrophic failure and void the warranty.
Maintenance Advice:
- Keep the VertiCoil system free of debris. The compact nature means small twigs or dirt can obstruct the mechanism more easily than on open designs.
- Inspect the string regularly. Due to the high-performance nature of the cams, proper waxing is essential to extend string life.
- Store the crossbow in a dry environment and avoid exposing the polymer components to extreme heat for prolonged periods.
