Excalibur Quill 16.5" Carbon Crossbow Bolts with Blazer Vanes – 6 Pack, Black
Flawless Design for Target Archery and Hunting
The Excalibur Quill bolts represent the absolute pinnacle of modern crossbow accessories. They are crafted from highly durable carbon fibre, guaranteeing low weight whilst maintaining extreme stiffness. Visually, the arrows stand out with their striking white Excalibur-branded vanes, making it much easier to track the bolt's flight and retrieve it in the field.
You will particularly appreciate their compatibility with CeaseFire Technology systems. They are equipped with special flat-back Rhino Nocks, ensuring perfect and safe contact with the bowstring. Typically, these bolts are used for precise target shooting or 3D archery, but by swapping the field points for broadheads, they become absolutely ideal for hunting (where legally permitted).
A Fascinating Detail from the R&D Dept
Did you know that the 2-inch Blazer Vanes used on these shafts feature a 3-degree offset? This small detail ensures that the bolt begins to spin immediately upon launch—much like a bullet fired from a rifled barrel. This dramatically increases aerodynamic stability and precision, especially at longer distances.

How to Properly Care for Your Carbon Bolts
To ensure these high-quality arrows serve you reliably for a long time, they require basic but regular maintenance:
- Regular Visual Inspection: Before every shot, visually inspect the bolt and gently flex it in your hands. Listen for any cracking or splintering sounds that indicate internal carbon damage.
- Point and Thread Maintenance: Occasionally apply a mild lubricant to the threads of your screw-in points to prevent them from seizing.
- Cleaning: If you shoot at 3D targets, melted target material can stick to the shaft. Clean your arrows with a special arrow puller fluid or a soft sponge so as not to reduce their penetration capabilities.
What You Must Absolutely Avoid
Whilst carbon is extremely strong under tension, it is brittle against lateral impacts. Never shoot into hard obstacles (wood, masonry, rocks), as the bolt will shatter instantly. Furthermore, never shoot a damaged bolt (e.g., a cracked shaft, missing vane, or damaged nock). Firing a defective arrow can lead to a dry fire, which can fatally damage your crossbow and cause severe personal injury.
