The right bolt for the Ravin R10X
The correct bolt length, nock and minimum grain weight for the Ravin R10X, and what stops a dry-fire.
Dry-fire warning
Bolt length, nock type and minimum grain weight are quoted from each manufacturer's published arrow data and owner documentation, cited on every page. A nock or grain-weight mismatch can cause a dry-fire that damages the bow and can injure the shooter. Confirm against your own owner's manual before shooting, and never drop below the stated minimum total grain weight.

The R10X is the updated R10 platform at 400 fps, again not an R500, so it feeds the standard 20-inch Ravin.003 arrow with the Ravin clip-on nock over an aluminium bushing.
Ravin bolts are proprietary. Substituting any other nock design negates the 5-year warranty; use only the Ravin.003 arrow, not the R500-series arrow.
