If you want to decock the bow, simply attach the handle and spin the crank the opposite way.
RAVIN CROSSBOW CRANK FULL
Once you hit full draw, a slip clutch engages, preventing you from overdrawing the system. You can stop or start the cocking procedure at any point without putting anything (other than the bow limbs and strings) under tension. On the Ravin R500, there are no latches or buttons to depress in order to release the strap and cock the bow. This is a different cocking mechanism entirely than the strap that’s been connected to the Ravin trigger assembly and wound back into the stock on previous models. After shooting it extensively, my official evaluation is, that sounds about right. According to Ravin, it takes 17 pounds of effort to cock the bow (the limbs are 300 pounds). Those rods guide the trigger assembly (called the Trac Trigger Firing System) down the barrel and to the string. Each turn of the handle spins a pair of long, parallel threaded rods that run the length of the barrel. You crank the handle and load the crossbow with old-fashioned elbow grease. I tested the base model, which has a new (but fairly simple) draw-handle system in lieu of the electronic cocker. Several accessory-package versions of the crossbow are available, including the E series, which has an electronic cocking device. Width: 3.6 inches (cocked) 8 inches (uncocked).Testing the Ravin R500 Crossbow We tested the base model R500 (shown), but an R500E with electronic cocking device is in the works. But it seems the wait is over because early last week, I finally got a new R500 in hand, and I’m told mine is the first one out for review. I was told that a crucial part took over 20 weeks to arrive, and so production of the Ravin R500 was stalled. I got an assignment to write a review on it back on January 11, and I kept checking in with contacts at Ravin all spring and summer about getting a test model. Trouble was, despite the hype and the listing of the crossbow for sale on their website (where it’s back-ordered), the R500 hasn’t been available since it was announced. They definitely got bowhunters…er, crossbow hunters…talking last winter when they teased the all new Ravin R500, billed to be the world’s first commercially available 500-feet-per-second crossbow. No other brand can make a buzz in the crossbow world quite like Ravin. 003 Arrows & Field Points (400 Grain Total), 3-Arrow Quiver and Quiver Mounting Bracket.We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs.

The internal clutch within the VersaDrive System eliminates over-cocking and allows cocking or decocking to be stopped at any time during the process. The R500E also utilizes our new VersaDrive Cocking system, which consists of a dual screw drive that moves the Trac Trigger Firing System (TTFS) back and forth. Both the battery and the motor unit can be easily detached for storage or to recharge on the charging dock. The Ravin Electric Drive consists of a 12-volt battery and motor unit that simply attach and detach to the stock. This allows users to simply press a button to cock and decock this crossbow, with the option to manually cock the crossbow with the included R500 Draw Handle. Along with unmatched speed and dimensions, the R500E has the new Ravin Electric Drive System. Featuring the new proprietary HexCoil Cam System, the R500E is able to produce speeds of 500 feet per second with a 400 grain arrow, and has an axle-to-axle width of 3.6 inches when cocked and 7.6 inches when uncocked. Ravin® is shattering industry standards once again with the new R500E.
