Ravin R18

The Ravin R18 introduces an entirely new class of ultra-compact, vertical-limb crossbows. Designed for saddle hunters, tight-ground setups, and anyone who needs maximum mobility without sacrificing performance, the R18 packs Ravin’s legendary accuracy into one of the smallest crossbows ever built. At just 4.75” wide and 25” long, this lightweight 6-lb powerhouse still delivers a solid 330 FPS and 85 ft-lbs of kinetic energy—more than enough to fill any tag.

Built around Ravin’s revolutionary VertiCoil™ Cam System, the R18 coils cables and strings vertically around the cams, allowing an axle-to-axle height of just 1.3” cocked. Combined with the Versa-Draw™, Trac-Trigger™, and Frictionless™ Flight System, the R18 offers unmatched balance, smooth operation, and Ravin’s signature rifle-like accuracy.
