Set of 6 Steambow Bodkin Crossbow Bolts 5.5” for AR-6 Stinger II Series
Penetrating Power in a Modern Package
These bolts aren't just expendable ammo; they are a vital upgrade for your gear. The construction relies on a high-rigidity aluminium shaft and an extremely durable Bodkin-style tip. This tip shape is inspired by historical designs meant for piercing armour, but Steambow has refined it to technological perfection. The bolts are optimised for smooth feeding from the AR-6 magazine, ensuring your mechanism won't jam even during rapid fire. If you want to squeeze the maximum potential out of your crossbow, these black streaks are the ultimate choice.

Why Choose a Bodkin Point?
Did you know that in the Middle Ages, the Bodkin point was the bane of knights in chainmail? Its narrow, sturdy profile was designed not to bend on impact and to slip through metal links. Modern Steambow Bodkins apply the same principle – the small frontal area of the tip results in a much higher concentration of energy at the point of impact, providing these bolts with significantly better penetration than standard target points.
How to Properly Care for Your Bolts
To ensure your bolts last as long as possible, clean them of any target residue after every session. Regularly check if the bolt shaft is bent or if the polymer vanes are damaged. If you are shooting at harder targets, the tip may benefit from a light polish or a drop of oil to prevent surface corrosion on the ground edges. Always ensure the bolts are clean before loading them into the magazine to minimize friction within the crossbow's guide rail.
What to Avoid
Never shoot at concrete walls, rocks, or steel plates. Even though the tip is hardened, an extreme impact on an unyielding surface can lead to the destruction of the aluminium shaft or dangerous ricochets. These bolts are intended for suitable targets (archery targets, specific backstops). Never use a damaged or bent bolt, as it could damage your AR-6 Stinger or cause injury.
Recommended Accessories
For the best experience, we recommend keeping a spare string and high-quality string wax on hand to reduce wear during contact with the bolts. Another excellent addition is the speedloader for Steambow bolts, which allows you to fill your crossbow magazine in seconds, keeping you ready for action at all times.
