What is the lightest crossbow bolt?

Many crossbow manufacturers have arrows made to their specs. TenPoint Crossbows offers the Pro Lite carbon bolt. This lightweight bolt is designed to provide a little extra speed and plenty of kinetic energy. The Pro Lite is 370 grains and has a 25-grain aluminum insert that adds a little FOC.

Can I use longer arrows in my crossbow?

Yes, you can use longer arrows. Most people don’t like the tip to stick out past the end of the stirrup, because it can get more easily caught in branches or undergrowth and knock the arrow off the rail.

How do I choose a crossbow arrow?

The three most important factors when selecting a crossbow arrow are the weight of the complete unit, length, and nock type. All crossbow manufacturers list a minimum arrow weight and length, and specify the type of nock. Choosing the incorrect arrow or nock can cause serious injury to the shooter and the crossbow.

How far will a 400 fps crossbow shoot?

If you have a 400+ fps capable crossbow, accurate shots up to around 80 to 100 yards can be made. This does require an understanding of arrow trajectory and drop before attempting to take those shots though. The greatest component to distance is simply the arrow’s kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is velocity + momentum.

Are heavier crossbow bolts better?

As compared to a lighter arrow, a heavier arrow will retain a greater amount of its energy at longer distances because of its tendency to want to stay in flight, and it will often shoot tighter groups. It also loses speed at a slower rate than a lighter arrow over longer distances.

What grain bolt should I use?

A heavier bolt, at least 400 grains not including the head, will have better downrange energy and offer better penetration. Keep in mind that even though a bolt will leave the rail quickly, a heavier bolt will quickly lose power as it flies.

A crossbow is essentially a bow mounted on an elongated frame (called a tiller or stock) with a built-in mechanism that holds the drawn bow string, as well as a trigger mechanism that allows the string to be released.
