Ravin R500 clip-on nock: which crossbows use it
Where the Ravin R500 clip-on nock is used, its shape, and the compatibility rule that stops a dry-fire.
Dry-fire warning
Crossbow bolt data and archery arrow spine, nock and thread data are quoted from each manufacturer's published figures, owner documentation and industry standards, cited on every page. A nock, spine 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 and the arrow maker's own chart before shooting, and never drop below the stated minimum total weight.

Field notes
Used on: Ravin R500 Series only.
The R500 uses an R500-specific arrow and nock. The standard Ravin.003 arrow is explicitly not compatible with the R500 Series, and the R500 arrow is for the R500 only.
R500 and non-R500 Ravin arrows look similar but are not interchangeable. Using the wrong one voids the warranty and risks a derailment on a 500-fps bow.
