Which 16–22" crossbow bolt do I need?
Longer crossbow bolts measuring 16", 18", 20" and 22" are used with many recurve and compound crossbows. Correct compatibility, however, depends on more than length. Bolt weight, diameter, material, nock and the specifications of the crossbow are also important.
Whenever possible, use the bolt length and type specified by the crossbow manufacturer. With powerful compound crossbows in particular, the bolt must have sufficient weight and be suitable for the power of the crossbow. Using a bolt that is too light or otherwise unsuitable can damage the crossbow and create an unsafe situation.
Also check the required nock type. Crossbow bolts are available with different nock designs and are therefore not automatically interchangeable, even when their length and diameter are the same.
Using a compact or model-specific crossbow system? The Crossbow Bolts section also includes dedicated categories for 6.5" short crossbow bolts, 7.5" Cobra R9 / Adder bolts, 15" Cobra R-Series / Siege bolts and specific Steambow AR-6 and Supersonic REV / XL bolts.
Important when choosing crossbow bolts
Correct length alone does not guarantee compatibility. Always check the required length, bolt design and bolt weight for your specific crossbow. Do not use a bolt if you are unsure whether it is suitable.
