Ravin R500 Series Draw Handle – Magnetic Ambidextrous Crank

Ravin R500 Series Draw Handle – Magnetic Ambidextrous Crank

Effortless Cocking with Magnetic Precision

This draw handle is constructed from high-strength steel with an ergonomic grip that fits perfectly in your palm. The cocking system on the R500 series is technologically advanced, and this handle is the key to operating it smoothly. One of its standout features is the magnetic interface, which holds the handle securely in place when not in use and helps guide it instantly into the cocking socket. Designed for durability and reliability, the handle manages the massive kinetic energy required to cock an R500 while remaining lightweight and compact. Whether you are at the range or deep in the woods, it provides a silent and smooth drawing process, allowing for stealthy preparation in any hunting scenario.

Technical Specifications

Purpose and Intended Use

The primary purpose of this draw handle is to allow the operator to cock the crossbow with minimal physical effort. Since the Ravin R500 is one of the most powerful crossbows on the market, this handle acts as the lever for the internal winding mechanism, pulling the string back evenly and precisely into the trigger box.

Technical Insight

Did you know the magnetic system is specifically designed to aid the shooter in low-light conditions? The magnets guide the handle into the hexagonal socket automatically, meaning you do not have to fumble around in the dark to get your crossbow ready for the next shot.

Care and Maintenance

• Occasionally wipe down the steel shaft with a cloth dampened with a little silicone oil to prevent surface corrosion.
• Keep the magnetic contact points clean from metallic debris or dirt to maintain a strong connection.
• Ensure the handle knob rotates freely on its axis and remains free of grit.

Safety Warnings

Never attempt to use this handle on any Ravin model other than the R500 Series, as the socket dimensions are specific to this line. Avoid dropping the handle on hard surfaces, as this could deform the hex-end. If you feel unusual resistance while cocking, do not force the handle; stop and inspect the internal mechanism for obstructions.

Recommended Accessories

I highly recommend keeping your handle in a Ravin protective accessory pouch to prevent it from clanging against other gear. For the smoothest operation of the cocking system, always use Ravin Serving Fluid on your string’s center serving. To ensure you never misplace the handle in the field, consider attaching a small security lanyard to your hunting vest.
