History and Modern Application
Crossbow projectiles, historically known as bolts or quarrels, have evolved immensely since the Middle Ages. While medieval archers relied on wooden shafts with forged iron heads and fletching made of goose feathers, you are now holding a product of modern metallurgy. Using aluminum instead of wood eliminates shaft warping due to humidity and ensures identical flight characteristics for every piece in the set. Interestingly, the crossbow was considered so lethal in the Middle Ages that the Second Lateran Council in 1139 unsuccessfully attempted to ban its use against fellow Christians.
Care and Safety Instructions
To ensure your bolts last as long as possible, it is crucial to follow proper care and safety steps:
- Target Choice: Always shoot into a suitable target butt that stops the bolt gradually without causing damage.
- Pre-shot Check: Regularly check that the screw-on point is tight and that the fletching is intact.
- Avoid Hard Surfaces: Shooting at rocks, concrete, trees, or metal objects will cause immediate deformation of the aluminum shaft, which cannot be straightened.
- Storage: Keep the bolts dry to prevent thread oxidation, and ideally store them in a quiver to protect the fletching from bending.
We recommend using a high-quality rail lubricant or string wax to reduce friction as the bolt travels along the crossbow rail, and a professional layered target for safe deceleration of your projectiles.
