Verification Notes
Ravin Crossbows LLC manufactures at 3535 Tower Ave, Superior, Wisconsin (since 2015; 85,000 sq ft facility). Strongest evidence is FEDERAL: two CPSC recall filings (2018 arrow nocks, 2024 R500 series) list 'Ravin Crossbows LLC, of Superior, Wisconsin' as manufacturer and state 'Manufactured in: United States'. Local press documented the assembly line incl. per-bow chronograph testing; proprietary arrow assembly also in Superior. Homepage carries 'Ravin Factory, Superior, Wisconsin' caption. KNOWN EXCEPTIONS (moderate): bundled base scopes are import-sourced; accessory line claims only 'designed, engineered, and tested' in USA — catalog carries crossbows + Ravin-assembled arrows only, no scope/soft-goods SKUs. Sister brand CenterPoint (same parent, Velocity Outdoor/Compass Diversified) is Taiwan-made — Ravin USA production is brand-specific. Onboarded 2026-07-30.

Heritage & History
Ravin was founded in Superior, Wisconsin by Larry Pulkrabek, an archery-industry veteran who had already built and sold two successful ventures — Field Logic block targets and Rage broadheads — before turning to crossbows. Working from leased space in the city's Mariner Mall, his team spent a year in development before releasing the R9 in fall 2016. Its proprietary HeliCoil cam system, which routes cables around the limbs rather than out to the axles, let Ravin build a far more compact crossbow that still delivered rifle-flat trajectories — turning the R9 and the R15 that followed into some of the fastest-selling bows in the sport's history. By 2018 demand had outgrown the original space: the company was acquired by Velocity Outdoor (Compass Diversified) for $94 million and moved into an 85,000-square-foot former Target store on Tower Avenue. In 2025 Ravin opened a retail pro shop inside that same production building, giving customers a first look at the factory floor where its bows are built.
Made in Superior, Wisconsin
Ravin's crossbows are assembled and quality-tested at its facility at 3535 Tower Ave in Superior, where local reporters have documented the assembly line — including chronograph velocity testing performed on every finished bow before it ships. Two U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission filings formally list 'Ravin Crossbows LLC, of Superior, Wisconsin' as manufacturer with products 'Manufactured in: United States' — a rare case of federal filings, rather than marketing copy, backing a domestic-manufacturing claim. That commitment stands out in an industry that has largely moved offshore: Ravin's own corporate sibling CenterPoint sources its crossbows from Taiwan, underscoring that Wisconsin production is a deliberate choice. Bundled optics and some accessories are import-sourced, which is why this catalog carries Ravin's crossbows and Wisconsin-assembled arrows only.
