Used to use them but did not like how the would bend when hitting the ground or something rigid like bone. Got to be expensive having bent arrows, even on pass through shots so I switched to carbons arrows and never looked back. Consistent accuracy, more consistent arrow weight, and more durable.

I have been using both aluminum and carbon they both work quit well for me as long as I don't try to shoot more than one in the same bull, neither one with stand up to being hit by another arrow. I tear up a few every year of both.

Some people refer to the crossbow projectile as a bolt, while others call it an arrow. Both definitions are correct, however the word “bolt” can only be used in conjunction with a crossbow (never with a regular bow https://hunthacks.com/best-crossbow/). Technically speaking, a bolt has no stabilizing vanes near the back, while an arrow always does. Linguistically speaking, however, whenever someone talks about crossbow bolts or arrows, they are usually speaking of the same thing. For the sake of simplicity, we’ll refer to it as a arrow in this article.
