Man Kung 6.5-inch Aluminium Crossbow Bolts for MK-TCS3 Sobek – 10-pack

Man Kung 6.5-inch Aluminium Crossbow Bolts for MK-TCS3 Sobek – 10-pack

Precision Engineering for Maximum Kinetic Energy

The Man Kung A6B1 bolts are unique due to their 6mm diameter, which is the essential specification for smooth operation in the rails of the Sobek series crossbows. The aluminium shaft provides the necessary stiffness to ensure the bolt remains stable upon discharge and maintains a precise flight path. At the front, you’ll find a steel field point, aerodynamically shaped for clean penetration of both the air and the target material. Two symmetrical plastic vanes provide reliable flight stabilisation, guiding the bolt straight to the bullseye.

This set is perfect for target practice and recreational shooting. The bolts are balanced to remain steady and predictable even at the high flight velocities produced by the MK-TCS3 models. The 10-piece pack also ensures you have plenty of spares for extended shooting sessions without constant trips to the target boss.

Technical Specifications

Recommended Crossbow Parameters

These bolts are engineered for pistol crossbows with high draw weights. They are primarily intended for the Man Kung Sobek model with a draw weight around 80 lbs, though their robustness allows them to handle even higher loads. Never use these bolts in crossbows that require larger diameter arrows (e.g., 8 mm or larger), as this could result in a dry fire or damage to the string.

Practical Advice and Maintenance

To ensure your bolts last as long as possible, keep these tips in mind:

• Shoot only into a proper target boss: Aluminium is strong, but hitting wood, trees, or brick walls will permanently bend or break the bolt. A high-quality foam or laminate archery target is a must.
• Pre-shot Inspection: Always check the shaft after each hit. If the bolt is bent, discard it immediately. Shooting a bent bolt is inaccurate and can be dangerous for your crossbow's string and limbs.
• Rail Maintenance: Regularly lubricate your crossbow rail with rail snot or wax. This reduces friction on the vanes and preserves the finish of the bolts.
• Vane Care: If the plastic vanes get slightly bent during storage, you can often restore their shape by briefly heating them with a hairdryer or dipping them in warm water.

Interesting Fact: The name "Sobek" refers to the ancient Egyptian deity with a crocodile head, representing power and predatory prowess. Much like the god himself, your crossbow, paired with these aerodynamic bolts, possesses a level of power that is quite unexpected for such a compact tool.

Recommended Accessories

For smooth operation, I highly recommend getting some string wax and rail lubricant. To carry your bolt set, a small accessory pouch or a forearm quiver is ideal. A portable target boss specifically rated for pistol crossbows is also a wise investment, as it will save you money in the long run by preventing unnecessary damage to your bolts from hard backdrops.
