The Factory-Standard Arrow, Not an Aftermarket Afterthought
Many crossbow manufacturers leave arrow selection entirely to third-party suppliers, creating compatibility uncertainty. Ravin takes a different approach with its .003 Arrow — this is the exact standard arrow included with Ravin crossbows straight from the factory, not a separate aftermarket product.
The genuine factory-standard arrow
These 20-inch .003 arrows are the same arrows included with Ravin crossbows directly from the factory — removing any uncertainty about compatibility or performance matching since this is the manufacturer's own baseline specification.
A tight .003-inch straightness tolerance
The arrows carry a specific .003-inch straightness tolerance — a precise manufacturing standard that directly affects consistent flight accuracy shot after shot, rather than a looser tolerance that introduces more variability.
100% pure carbon construction
Built entirely from pure carbon rather than a carbon-aluminum hybrid, the arrows deliver a favourable strength-to-weight ratio specifically suited to the high-energy demands of modern crossbows.
High-impact brass threaded inserts
The arrows use brass threaded inserts specifically chosen for their impact resistance — a durability detail that matters directly for arrows experiencing repeated high-force impacts during hunting or target use.
Ravin-engineered polymer nocks for guaranteed compatibility
The arrows use Ravin's own engineered polymer nocks, specifically designed to work with Ravin's clip-on nock system — genuine engineering compatibility rather than a generic nock that happens to fit.
Broad compatibility across the Ravin lineup
The .003 Arrow works across nearly all Ravin crossbow models, with the specific exception of the R500 Series — a broad compatibility range for anyone owning one of Ravin's other crossbow models.
A specific, optimised 400-grain weight
Each arrow weighs 400 grains when fitted with a 100-grain field point — a weight specifically calibrated to Ravin's crossbow platform for optimal speed and energy transfer.
Recognised as Ravin's most popular arrow
Ravin specifically describes the .003 Arrow as its most popular and best-selling arrow — reflecting broad, sustained demand rather than being a niche or recently introduced option.
