RAVIN R138.003-Carbon Crossbow Arrows Pack of 6 - Precision 20in Bolts

In this review the RAVIN R138.003-Carbon Crossbow Arrows are presented for shooters who own compatible Ravin crossbows and demand tight groupings from purpose-built bolts. The bottom line: these 20in, 400-grain bolts are designed specifically for Ravin crossbows and deliver consistent flight thanks to.003 straightness and balanced components. Our review finds them best when used with a 100-grain field point (not included) and when accuracy and durability matter more than universal compatibility.

Key Features

• Purpose-built fit: Designed exclusively for Ravin crossbows to ensure consistent seating and reliable launches when used with the correct platform.
• .003 straightness: Very tight shaft straightness helps improve grouping and predictability downrange for target shots and hunting setups.
• 400 grain total weight: The 400-grain setup, when combined with a 100-grain field point, offers momentum suited to hunting and accurate field practice.
• High-impact components: Brass threaded inserts and aluminum nock bushings increase durability at the point of impact and during string contact.
• Offset vanes: 2-in high-profile offset vanes promote stable flight and enhanced arrow tracking without excessive drag.
• Pack convenience: Six arrows per pack provide a ready complement for practice or a hunt without sourcing parts separately.

Who It's For

These bolts are aimed at serious Ravin crossbow owners who want factory-intended arrows rather than adapting other bolts. If the shooter prioritizes precision, consistent performance, and components built to withstand high string speeds, these 20in, 400-grain bolts are a logical choice.

Shoppers who own non-Ravin crossbows, including Ravin R500 series models, or who need field points included should look elsewhere since these are made exclusively for Ravin crossbows and do not include field points.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Purpose-built for Ravin crossbows, promoting reliable fit and repeatable performance.
• .003 straightness offers improved grouping potential over looser shafts.
• Durable brass inserts and aluminum nock bushings reduce failure points on high-impact contact.
• Offset 2-in vanes stabilize flight for hunting and target use.

Cons

• Not compatible with Ravin R500 series and may not fit other makes, limiting cross-platform use.
• Field points are not included, so buyers must supply 100-grain points to reach the specified 400-grain total weight.
