Famous Ravin Crossbow Technologies
Ravin primarily focuses on the higher-end segment of the crossbow market and has developed significant intellectual property related to the advancement of crossbow technology. Here are the famous Ravin crossbow technologies.
HELICOIL® TECHNOLOGY
HELICOIL® TECHNOLOGY is the revolutionary technology behind the development of Ravin crossbows. With this technology, Ravin creates the most accurate crossbows.
The HeliCoil technology coils cable away from the top and bottom of the cams through helical grooves. This keeps the cams perfectly balanced. This technology allows the cams to rotate 340 degrees, all while allowing both cams to remain perfectly level during shooting.
FRICTIONLESS™ FLIGHT SYSTEM
With FRICTIONLESS™ FLIGHT SYSTEM of Ravin’s Crossbow, arrow and string free float above the rail. It eliminates friction which gives the bow the ability to maintain both speed and accuracy downrange. And you get consistent accuracy and increased string and cable life.
TRAC-TRIGGER™ FIRING SYSTEM
A patented built-in trigger mechanism that slides forward on the rail and clasps directly to the precise center of the string every time the bow is drawn, allowing for straight-line nock travel. This unique Helicoil advantage creates a perfectly balanced draw for unmatched down range accuracy with every shot.
VERSA-DRAW™ COCKING SYSTEM
The Versa-Draw Cocking System, with a minimal draw force, is ambidextrous. It can cock and un-cock your crossbow. This technology provides an easy-to-use, fully integrated cocking system. This mechanism results in accurate shots
VERTICOIL CAM SYSTEM
It rotates the ultra-small cams 720 degrees coiling the string and cables around the cam and cam axle allowing an axle-to-axle height of 1.3 inches when fully cocked!
VertiCoil uses HeliCoil in two places: the cam and cam axle.
VERSADRIVE™ COCKING SYSTEM
The Ravin Crossbow has nearly effortless integrated cocking and decocking, providing the ultimate maneuverability and reliability during every crucial moment.
Ravin Crossbows
Ravin crossbows are currently designed, made, and assembled in Superior, Wisconsin.
Every crossbow has a definite speed grade. A crossbow with higher velocity is proficient in shooting an arrow at the fastest speed. If you are on a mission of hunting, you need to have 300 FPS speed. For hunting, it is necessary to have a high-speed crossbow.
The crossbow’s draw weight is mainly a power or weight needed to draw the crossbow cords into their cocked point. It’s challenging to draw a crossbow without using cocking device. Furthermore, you have to be more careful loading the crossbow with your hands because the crossbow’s draw weight is higher than a standard bow.
