I'm trying to find crossbow bolts that aren't too expensive. I'm looking for something 22" long about/at least 425 grain. Would you recommend a 4,3 or 2" vane?
What bolts should I use?

Go into ebay and type in 22" Arrows. Several choices will come up. I like the 2" vanes, but have been buying factory arrows and then re-fletching with 2" vanes later on. Buying them by the dozen, they're down to like 5.00 each with free shipping.

lol. Knew that one was coming.
Where did that incorrect term come from?
I remember being a little kid and always referring to them as bolts. Still do honestly.
I try to correct it, but 'crossbow arrow' just dont sound right!

That's funny. I've always stuck to calling them bolts. I suppose, is to make the guy at the counter think I know something about crossbows when I buy more....lol. He probably just shook his head as I walked away.... lol.

Does that count for nocks also because my excaliber bolt arrows dont use a nock. Its just flat with no notch or anything.

It is a bolt. Arrows are over 22 inches... lol. Bolt doesn't have a negative connotation does it? Bolts were the original projectile that xbows used. Easier to differentiate. Bolts....especially since it annoys Mike. Lol
