BALLISTA Sting Mini Crossbow Bolts Carbon Arrows with Field Tips, Half-Moon Nocks, Penetrator Inserts for Hunting Broadheads OD 6.0mm (Pack of 6)

These carbon bolts are specifically made for Ballista pistol crossbows but should work well with other brands of crossbow pistols. They are short so will not work with standard crossbows. The bolts are heavier than the practice bolts that come with the Ballistas. The standard tips can be easily unscrewed and replaced with various broadhead tips for hunting. The added weight o f the aluminum penetrators will mean a slightly slower FTP rate, but the extra mass is what allows greater penetration of hunting bolt. Four stars instead of five because the price of $39.95 for six bolts is a little steep. Still I would purchase again because of the quality.

Excellent match! Plan to use for deer. Would not recommend under 200 gr. Arrowhead, even for practice shooting.

Good arrows heavy spine needs threads cared for hard to tighten tips up

Arrows have a heavy insert that accept regular broadheads. With a 100gr 3 blade broadhead it is very heavy. My Mini Striker crossbow pistol had a 4–5-inch drop at 10 yards. I found less drop using a 100gr 2 blade broadhead and better penetration. Less wind drag and cutting surface I guess. I got better penetration and less drop with William tell arrows and 100gr 2 blade broadheads on foam target.

Excellent option for WTA Mini Striker crossbow.

For the size and quality, these bolts are extremely expensive. I have posted the analysis of 10 units randomly selected from 2 packs of "as received" bolts regarding weight variability in grains.For this price point, the vendor should introduce much improved statistical process control techniques and improved processes, or reduce the price point significantly.I have no way of measuring straightness. However, some of the bolts are noticeably not straight.

First shot into a deer target the tip insert blew out on 2 arrows, one insert while hand tightening the tip fell out in my hand. 3 flights came unglued. And that was just one shot of each arrow except the one that the tip fell out of. So now I have 3 arrows that I don’t feel comfortable shooting!
