The Ravin .001 R500 20" crossbow bolts are purpose-built for shooters running Ravin R500 Series crossbows who demand match-grade precision and consistency. These six bolts are engineered to handle the extreme velocity and kinetic energy your R500 generates, maintaining perfect flight integrity shot after shot. If you're hunting or shooting at distance and expect your equipment to perform without compromise, these are the bolts your crossbow was designed for.
The headline spec here is the .001" straightness tolerance—that's genuine match-grade accuracy in bolt form. Every bolt in this pack will fly identically to the next, which means your point of impact stays where you aim it. Built from 100% pure carbon, they're durable enough to handle repeated shots at the speeds an R500 delivers, while the high-profile offset vanes keep your trajectory smooth and predictable downrange.
Construction details matter when you're shooting high-performance gear: brass threaded inserts handle repeated broadhead or field-tip swaps without stripping, aluminum nock bushings absorb impact without failure, and Ravin-engineered polymer nocks ensure compatibility with your bow's clip-on system. At 400 grains with a 100-grain field tip or broadhead, you get the mass needed for consistent energy transfer and deep penetration on game.
A critical note: these bolts are engineered exclusively for Ravin R500 Series crossbows and must use Ravin-branded nocks—cross-compatibility with other platforms or aftermarket nocks will compromise safety and accuracy. If you own an R500, this is the matched component that lets you shoot the bow to its full potential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these bolts work with other crossbow models?
No. These bolts are engineered exclusively for Ravin R500 Series crossbows and must use Ravin-branded clip-on nocks. Using them with other platforms compromises safety and accuracy.
What comes in the box with the broadheads or field tips included?
The six bolts are shipped without broadheads or field tips; you'll supply your own 100-grain tips. The 400-grain weight specification accounts for a 100-grain tip installed.
Can I use aftermarket nocks or arrows with my R500?
Ravin requires the use of Ravin-branded arrows and nocks with R500 Series crossbows. Aftermarket components are not compatible with the clip-on nock system.
Why is the .001" straightness tolerance important?
Match-grade straightness means every bolt in your pack flies identically, eliminating variables caused by bent or warped bolts. This consistency is essential for holding zero and placing shots reliably at distance.
