Ravin R500 Series Carbon Crossbow Bolts .003, 6-Pack
Engineering Excellence for High-Performance Shooting
Constructed from 100% pure carbon, these bolts offer the necessary stiffness and resilience to withstand the violent acceleration of the R500 platform. Standard arrows could literally shatter under the forces produced by this series. Equipped with 5.1 cm (2") high-profile offset vanes, the bolt begins rotating immediately upon leaving the string, providing superior stabilisation even at speeds exceeding 500 FPS. Every detail is built for durability and precision:
- Brass Threaded Inserts: Increase the Front-of-Center (FOC) balance, significantly improving long-range accuracy and wind resistance.
- Ravin Polymer Nocks: Specifically designed for the "clip-on" system to ensure a secure connection with the string.
- Aluminium Bushings: Protect the rear of the shaft from the immense pressure during release.

Usage and Maintenance
These bolts are designed exclusively for Ravin R500 Series crossbows. Their primary purpose is to safely translate the crossbow's raw power into a precise and devastating impact. They are ideal for long-distance target practice and ethical hunting where permitted by law.
Industry Insight
Did you know that the Ravin R500 can propel a bolt at speeds over 150 metres per second? At such velocities, the air resistance is immense. This is why Ravin employs high-profile vanes with a specific offset to create rapid rotation, ensuring the bolt remains stable even in crosswinds.
Care Instructions
- Wipe the bolts clean after each session to remove target residue.
- Regularly perform a flex test: gently bend the shaft and listen for any internal cracking sounds in the carbon.
- Inspect the nocks for any signs of wear or cracks to prevent dangerous dry-fires.
Safety Warnings
Never shoot at hard surfaces such as timber or masonry, as the carbon shaft may shatter upon impact. Do not use these bolts in any crossbow other than the R500 series and never replace the proprietary Ravin nocks with generic alternatives. Doing so risks catastrophic failure of the crossbow limbs.
Recommended Accessories
To maintain peak performance, I recommend using premium string wax and a dedicated arrow puller, as bolts travelling at this speed are notoriously difficult to remove from targets by hand. For maximum effectiveness, pair these with 100-grain (6.48 g) broadheads, which are perfectly balanced for the ballistics of this shaft.
