The Ravin Crossbows R050.1 R500 is a compact, high-velocity hunting crossbow engineered for speed and accuracy. Built around Ravin's proprietary HexCoil Cam System—a 360-degree rotating mechanism that fundamentally reimagines crossbow design—the R500 delivers 500 FPS (with a 400-grain arrow) and exceptional kinetic energy in a package weighing just 8.4 pounds and measuring 28.5 inches. If you're hunting whitetail, elk, or medium game and want a lightweight, ultra-quiet platform that doesn't sacrifice power, this is a serious contender.

The HexCoil innovation is the star here. By rotating the cam mechanism a full 360 degrees, Ravin claims to have achieved speed, accuracy, and compactness that traditional parallel-limb designs can't match. The riser is CNC-machined aluminum for precision and durability, the limbs are fiberglass, and the stock is reinforced nylon fiber. Draw force comes in at 17 pounds—manageable for most hunters—and the anti-dry-fire safety system and VersaDrive cocking mechanism make the bow safer and easier to prepare between shots. Built-in sling mounts and the included mounting bracket give you flexibility in the field.

Ravin ships the R500 with a full hunting package: an illuminated scope (30–100 yard reticles, red and green illumination, fog-shock recoil and waterproof design, fully coated optics), three R500 Series arrows with field points (400 grain total), a removable draw handle, and a quiver with bracket. This is a complete out-of-the-box setup for serious hunters or shooters looking for a reliable, compact, high-speed crossbow.
