Ravin Broadhead Compatibility Guide for Hunters
Choosing the right broadheads for your Ravin crossbow is crucial for clean, ethical kills and peak performance. Not all broadheads are created equal, especially when you’re shooting at blistering speeds like those from the Ravin R500, R29X, or R26. This guide from Ravin Crossbows Australia will help you pick the perfect broadhead for your next hunt—whether you’re targeting deer, pigs, or small game.
✅ What Makes a Broadhead “Ravin-Compatible”?
Ravin crossbows shoot at high FPS (up to 500+), so broadheads must be:
- Mechanically durable
- Aerodynamically stable at high speeds
- Matched to Ravin’s .003″ straightness arrows and 100-grain weight standard

⚖️ Fixed vs Mechanical: What’s Best?
- Fixed Blade = More durable, great for bone penetration

💡 Tip: Use fixed blades in rough terrain or thick-skinned animals; mechanicals for open terrain and lighter game.
