Ravin R18: The First High-End Vertical Crossbow

A small but highly effective crossbow, the R18 is the shortest crossbow Ravin has ever created at just 25 inches in total length and 18 inches without the stock, shooting 330 FPS. The crossbow was made for those hunting in tight spaces such as next to a tree, when your buck is right around the corner. Its limbs expand vertically rather than horizontally, so you won’t risk hitting a tree or the sides of your blind when you pull the trigger. The Ravin R18 also features a 3-Dot Reflex Sight that is great for hunting in low-light conditions, and includes everything you need with three arrows and field points, and a detachable quiver.

Verticoil Cam System

The new proprietary VertiCoil Cam System rotates the 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.

Versa-Draw Cocking System

One of the revolutionary design advantages provided by VertiCoil technology is the Versa-Draw Cocking System. Working in conjunction with the Trac-Trigger Firing System, this ultra-compact fully integrated cocking mechanism is built into the sleek stock design. Anyone can cock the crossbow with just 12 pounds of cocking force and an ambidextrous crank. The Versa-Draw Cocking System also has the ability to cock and un-cock your Ravin crossbow. This unique Verticoil advantage provides an easy to use, fully integrated cocking mechanism delivering unmatched accuracy with every shot.

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 VertiCoil advantage creates a perfectly balanced draw for unmatched down range accuracy with every shot.

Frictionless Flight System

This patented technology allows the arrow and string to free float above the rail, eliminating friction for consistent accuracy and increased string and cable life. This unique VertiCoil advantage delivers astounding target accuracy with every shot.
