The Ravin Crossbow is a lightweight, compact and extremely powerful crossbow. The Ravin Crossbow is designed to be light, compact and simple to use. It only weighs 3.2 pounds and it has a draw weight of 175 pounds. The Ravin Crossbow is easy to assemble and disassemble for transport or storage.
The Ravin Crossbow shoots arrows at speeds up to 330 feet per second (fps). The Ravin Crossbow comes with four arrows that have aluminum arrow heads that are made out of hardened steel. These arrows are notched for use with the included detachable quiver that has an adjustable shoulder strap so you can carry it on your back while you shoot your arrows from the front pocket of your jeans or in your hands like a traditional bow.
Pull the cocking handle located to the rear of the crossbow.
The ravin crossbow is a powerful and accurate hunting weapon. The cocking handle is located to the rear of the crossbow. This lever pulls back on a spring that cocks the string and prepares it for firing.
Pulling the cocking handle back will take some effort, but you should feel it give way after several pulls.
Once you’ve pulled back on the cocking handle enough times, you will be able to push it forward into position. This will release tension on the bowstring, which allows you to safely load your arrow into place.
Loading an arrow into place requires two hands: one hand holds up your crossbow while the other loads an arrow into its groove by pulling down against the string with steady pressure.
Press the safety button on the top portion of the crossbow and pull it from left to right, indicating that it is no longer in a safe position.
The safety button on the top portion of your crossbow is a safety device that ensures your crossbow is not loaded and ready to fire. When you pull down on the safety button, it will move to the left side of your crossbow. The safety button should be in this position when you are done shooting and before you store your bow. To use the safety, push it back up until it clicks into place.
It is important to remember that if you leave your crossbow cocked, there is no way for you to know if it is loaded or not. A loaded crossbow can cause serious injury or death if used improperly.
Apply upward pressure to the front locking latch that is located underneath the barrel. This is going to allow you to open up your barrel for loading.
Use your hand to grasp the metal slide and pull it back until it locks into place. This will cock your gun, making it ready to fire.
Place your ammunition into the open chamber of your gun. Use only the correct size ammunition for your particular model of gun. If you are using a revolver, load each chamber individually and then rotate them clockwise so that they are in line with each other.
Return your hand to the front of the grip and push down on the safety lever until it clicks into place, locking it in place.
Place an arrow onto the barrel. Ensure that you have a field tip provided by Ravin on your arrow, as this is going to be needed to make sure that there is proper clearance.
With the arrow placed in the barrel, it is time to drop in the nock. You do this by taking the nock and placing it into the slot on your string. Then you are going to pull back on it until you feel a snap. This will ensure that it is locked in place properly and cannot fall out during use.
Once you have done this, you can now go ahead and string up your bow by taking your bow stringer and placing it through the limb tips of your bow. Pull back on the stringer until there is enough tension on it so that when you put your fingers under each end, there is no movement between them at all. Once this happens, then tighten down on each end of your stringer until they are secure and cannot move at all anymore.
Close the barrel and place downward pressure upon the front locking latch to ensure that it is locked into place. Once you have done this, then you will be ready to shoot your arrow.
When firing your arrow, make sure that there is a sufficient amount of space between you and any other person or object. It is highly recommended that you always use safety glasses when firing your crossbow in order to protect your eyes from any potential flying debris that may occur when firing an arrow.
It is also important to note that if the crossbow does not function properly when firing, then it may be necessary for you to take it apart and clean it in order for it to operate properly again.
Putting an arrow into a Ravin crossbow is easy if you follow these simple steps.
To put an arrow into a Ravin crossbow, first make sure that you have assembled the bow correctly. The limbs should be fully extended, but not over-extended. If they can be moved farther than 90 degrees to the stock, then they need to be tightened.
Next, place the arrow on the string and pull it back until it touches your chin or cheekbone. You want to keep your face as far from the bowstring as possible when shooting. This is for safety reasons and also because it makes for better accuracy.
