The Ravin R470 is a compact, high-speed hunting crossbow that brings the HexCoil cam and VersaDrive crank from Ravin's top models into a 26.75-inch package. It shoots 470 fps with 196 ft-lbs of kinetic energy, enough for elk and other large game. It also stays short and narrow enough to swing in a ground blind or treestand. It arrives fully assembled with a 100-yard illuminated scope, three arrows, a quiver and a removable draw handle.
This is the black R470 (Ravin part number R062) with manual crank cocking. The XK7 camo version (R063) adds a Speed Lock scope, and the R470E uses an electric drive. The '17 lbs' figure on some listings is the cocking effort at the crank; the bow weighs 8.4 lbs.
Key features
- HexCoil Cam System: the cams rotate 300 degrees, delivering 470 fps from a bow about 4.3 inches wide when cocked.
- VersaDrive crank: about 17 lbs of effort at the handle cocks the bow, and a slip clutch keeps you from over-cocking it. The system is ambidextrous.
- De-cocks without shooting: turn the handle the other way to let the string down under control, and stop at any point if needed.
- Trac-Trigger Firing System: clasps the exact center of the string every time for straight-line nock travel, with a pull of about 4 lbs.
- Frictionless Flight System: the arrow and string ride above the rail rather than dragging on it, which aids accuracy and string life.
- Adjustable stock: the buttstock and cheek pad adjust to fit, and sling mounts are built in.
