- Installation guidance is specific: if you replace the strings and cables yourself, Ravin specifies using only the Ravin Press.
- This set is limited to the R26, R26X, and R5X, so it is not a universal fit for other crossbows.
- The product information directs users to a local pro shop or the Ravin Service Department, which may be the more practical option for hunters who prefer professional installation.
