Considerations & Trade-offs
- Replacement is time- and shot-count based, so it’s a maintenance item rather than a one-time purchase.
- Installation is specified for a local pro shop or the Ravin Service Department, which may add service time and cost.
- If replacing the strings and cables yourself, Ravin specifies using only the Ravin Press and not the Ravin Bow Press on any other crossbow.
- Compatibility is limited to the listed R470 and R500 series models, so fitment should be verified before purchase.
