Set of Carbon Crossbow Bolts RAVIN 400 with Blazer Vanes – 6 pcs, Orange-White

Perfect Design for Modern Crossbows

These high-quality carbon arrows are specifically designed for modern recurve and compound crossbows. The carbon composite body is extremely rigid and resists bending much better than traditional aluminium. At the rear of the bolt, you will find an orange Crescent (half-moon) nock. When loading the bolt into your crossbow, always ensure the nock is correctly aligned so the bowstring sits perfectly in the groove. The standard screw-in steel field point is ideal for target shooting into soft target bags. Because it uses a standard thread, you can easily unscrew it and swap it for a broadhead if your local hunting laws permit.

An Interesting Fact from the World of Archery

Did you know that the transition from aluminium to carbon arrows sparked a massive revolution in modern archery? Carbon fibres allowed manufacturers to create shafts with a significantly thinner diameter while maintaining extreme spine stiffness. This drastically reduces aerodynamic drag and minimizes the effect of crosswinds, allowing today’s archers to shoot with pinpoint accuracy even at long distances.

Technical Specifications

How to Care for Your Bolts

Carbon bolts are tough but require proper maintenance to last. After each practice session, wipe them down with a dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. Regularly check the tightness of your screw-in points; a loose tip can cause an erratic flight path or damage the threaded insert upon impact. If your plastic vanes become wrinkled over time, you can often straighten them by applying gentle heat (like from a hairdryer), but be careful not to melt the plastic.

Crucial Warnings

Never shoot a damaged bolt from your crossbow! Before every shot, perform a "flex test"—gently bend the arrow shaft with both hands and listen for any cracking or splintering sounds. If you find a crack in the carbon, discard the bolt immediately. Furthermore, never shoot into hard surfaces such as trees, wooden planks, rocks, or brick walls. The carbon shaft will shatter upon impact, which could cause serious injury to you or bystanders.

Recommended Accessories

To go with these bolts, we highly recommend purchasing a heavy-duty crossbow target bag designed specifically to safely stop fast carbon bolts without tearing off the vanes. A silicone arrow puller will make retrieving your bolts much easier and save your hands. It is also a great idea to pick up some string wax to prolong the life of your crossbow string, and a matching bow quiver for easy transport.
