Overview
Designed specifically for maintaining the R18, this string and cable set is intended for hunters who keep their crossbow on a regular service schedule. The guidance provided recommends replacement at a local pro shop or the Ravin Service Department every 2 years or 200 shots, helping you plan upkeep around use rather than waiting for a problem. If you choose to do the work yourself, the instructions specify using only the Ravin Press and caution against using the Ravin Bow Press on any other crossbow. This is a service component for the R18 only, so it is best suited to owners who want to keep that platform properly maintained.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- For the R18 only, so it is not a general-purpose replacement for other crossbows.
- Replacement is recommended at a local pro shop or the Ravin Service Department, which adds service dependency for many owners.
- If you choose to replace the strings and cables yourself, Ravin specifies using only the Ravin Press and following the included instructions carefully.
- The recommended replacement interval is every 2 years or 200 shots, so this is a scheduled maintenance item rather than an occasional purchase.
