Key Features
The R500 is offered in at least two finish options: XK7 Camo and a base finish. As the newest, highest-numbered model in the lineup we've tracked, it sits at the top of Ravin's current range and carries a higher price band than the R470. We don't have a confirmed FPS figure for the R500 specifically, so treat any "500 FPS" style search terms as unverified until you check the current listing - see our crossbow specs guide for how Ravin typically presents these numbers.
Bolts, Strings & Accessories That Fit
As a higher-numbered model, the R500 likely shares a case family with related bows like the R26, R29, and R470, but bolt length, weight, and string specs should still be confirmed against your exact bow. Our accessories hub covers bolts, broadheads, cases, and cocking devices sorted by category.

Who the R500 Suits
Because it's positioned as the newest, highest-numbered model with the highest price band in this lineup, the R500 suits buyers who want Ravin's most current offering rather than an older or lower-numbered model. If budget matters more, compare it against the R470, or check our best Ravin crossbow guide for a broader breakdown across price tiers.
