How to Sight In Your Ravin Crossbow Like a Pro
Sighting in your Ravin crossbow is essential for consistent accuracy in the field. Whether you’re hunting deer, feral pigs, or target shooting, Ravin Crossbows Australia brings you this step-by-step guide to help you sight in your crossbow like a true pro.
🎯 Step 1: Set Up a Solid Shooting Platform
Start from a stable bench rest or shooting table to eliminate human error. Make sure your crossbow is level and securely positioned to ensure consistent shot groupings.
📏 Step 2: Measure Your Distance
Begin at 20 yards (18 meters). Most Ravin scopes are pre-calibrated with aiming points at 20, 30, 40 yards, etc. Mark each distance clearly for accurate testing.
🧭 Step 3: Fire a 3-Bolt Group
Shoot three bolts using the top (20-yard) reticle line. Aim at the same point each time. Measure the grouping and note where it lands relative to the bullseye.
🔧 Step 4: Adjust Your Scope
- If your group lands low or high, adjust the elevation turret.
- If it’s left or right, adjust the windage turret.
Use ¼ MOA adjustments per click if applicable. Move in small increments and test again.
🔁 Step 5: Confirm at Longer Ranges
Once your 20-yard group is on target, step back to 30, 40, and 50 yards, using the corresponding reticle marks. Your Ravin scope is pre-set for bolt drop—just confirm and fine-tune if needed.
✅ Pro Tips for Best Results
- Always use Ravin-approved bolts and field tips when sighting in.
- Perform sight-in with a freshly waxed string and lubed rail for consistency.
- Sight in during low wind conditions for best accuracy.
- Use a target with a small bullseye to focus your aim.
🧠 Final Thoughts
A properly sighted Ravin crossbow means more ethical shots, cleaner kills, and greater confidence in every hunt. Whether you’re using the Ravin R500, R29X, or R26, this process applies to all models.
