Complete Service Kit

This service kit is a total solution for restoring your crossbow's peak performance. It includes everything required to get your R18 back in top shooting condition:

• 1x Genuine Ravin String featuring a precision-engineered centre serving for maximum durability and consistent arrow flight.
• 2x Genuine Ravin Cables, essential for perfect cam synchronisation and timing of the VertiCoil system.

When to Replace Your Strings?

High-performance crossbows subject materials to extreme tension. The manufacturer recommends replacing the strings and cables every 2 years or every 200 to 400 shots, whichever comes first. Even if the string looks fine to the naked eye, internal micro-fibres can suffer from fatigue, leading to a loss of kinetic energy and an increased risk of failure.

Expert Advice for Installation and Maintenance

Replacing strings on the R18 is a highly specialised task. Never attempt to replace strings and cables without the original Ravin Bow Press! Using a standard press can cause permanent damage to the limbs or cams. If you aren't comfortable performing the replacement, we strongly recommend visiting a professional pro shop.

Maintenance Tips:

• Regular Waxing: Apply high-quality string wax frequently. Only wax the exposed strands; avoid the servings to prevent them from slipping.
• Pre-Shot Inspection: Always check for fraying or loose servings before you head to the range.
• Keep it Clean: After outdoor use, wipe away dirt and debris that could cause mechanical abrasion to the fibres.

Safety Warnings:

Avoid Dry Firing at all costs. This is the fastest way to destroy your strings and potentially your entire crossbow. Also, ensure you only use genuine bolts with correct nocks, as incorrect components can cause the string to fail during the shot.

Recommended Accessories

To ensure your new strings last as long as possible, I recommend picking up a premium string wax and rail lubricant. For safe transport and storage, a padded crossbow case is a must-have. And don’t forget to stock up on genuine Ravin R18 bolts, which feature the exact weight and nock style your system requires.
