Default RE: Newbe Crossbow Questions

"As for "Arrows", you'll be buying bolts."


Get it right if you're giving advice here: THEY ARE ARROWS, not bolts. Bolts have no feathers, made pf metal, look much like a dart , are only 6-7'' long and were used mostly in medieval bows to pierce armor. They are what gives crossbows a bad name. Modern crossbows shoot ARROWS, albeit a bit shorter than those used by vertical bows. Dislike being contentious but we have enough trouble with the antis without our own kind helping their cause....
