Ravin R500 Series High-Impact Polymer Clip-On Nocks, 12-Pack (Orange)

Ravin R500 Series High-Impact Polymer Clip-On Nocks, 12-Pack (Orange)

Maximum Safety for the Trac-Trigger System

These nocks are far more than just plastic end-caps. They are a highly engineered polymer component designed to safely transfer massive energy from the string to the bolt shaft. For Ravin R500 series crossbows, it is absolutely critical that the nock "clips on" to the string audibly. This proprietary clip-on mechanism ensures that the bolt remains securely in place, even when moving through dense cover or rough terrain. The high-visibility orange colour provides an additional benefit, allowing you to track your bolt’s flight path more easily and find it quickly in the grass or within the target butt. Thanks to precise manufacturing tolerances, they fit snugly into the shaft and stay put even under intense vibration.

Technical Specifications

Why Use Only Genuine Ravin Nocks?

The core purpose of these nocks is to protect both you and your investment. R500 series crossbows generate such immense kinetic energy that any non-genuine or damaged nock could result in bolt failure or, worse, a dry-fire. A dry-fire at these energy levels would likely lead to catastrophic and irreparable damage to your crossbow’s limbs and cams.

Technical Insight

Did you know that Ravin’s Trac-Trigger system is designed to only engage when the nock is fully seated within the trigger box? This safety feature relies entirely on the precise geometry of these R123 nocks. Any deviation from the original manufacturer's specifications could result in a failure to fire or unsafe operation.

Product Care and Maintenance

To ensure your nocks perform reliably and last a long time, follow these steps:

• Visually inspect each nock for cracks, chips, or deformities before every shot.
• Keep the nock groove (the string slot) clean and free from excess wax, grit, or debris.
• After shooting into a hard target, check that the nock has not become loose within the bolt shaft.

What to Avoid

Never use these orange nocks with older Ravin models (such as the R9, R10, R20, or R29) unless specifically stated by the manufacturer—their design is fundamentally different. Never shoot a nock that shows "stress marks" (white discolouration in the plastic), as it may shatter upon release.

Recommended Accessories

For a complete and reliable setup, I recommend using these with genuine Ravin R500 Series Carbon Bolts. To keep the firing system operating smoothly, always apply a high-quality string wax. Additionally, a sturdy arrow puller is highly recommended, as it protects both your hands and the nocks when extracting bolts from high-density targets.
