DNK, yeah, but so far I'm at 216 shots all with the same bolt. I shoot one shot and go get it. That gives me more time to concentrate on my shot and not rush it. It's cheap fun when you don't break or loose bolts. Reserving my stringevery 250 shots or so is all my cost. I couldn't imagine shooting 1000 shots with my 30-30. That would cost me $500. I guess that's why guys get into handloading. Good destressing time to throw bolts at a target, try to hit a pine cone target, shoot through brush, etc. I just wish there were some crossbow shooting competitions (3-D, etc.) around here. Maybe I'll have to start one :^).
