Which crossbow bolts do I need?
Choosing the correct crossbow bolt involves more than length alone. Diameter, bolt weight, material, nock and crossbow type can all be important for safe and reliable operation. Whenever possible, use the bolt type specified by the manufacturer for your crossbow or configuration.
Choose crossbow bolts by length or system
To make selection easier, our crossbow bolts are organised by length and compatibility:
- 6.5" short crossbow bolts – for various compact pistol and repeating crossbows.
- 7.5" Cobra R9 / Adder bolts – for compatible configurations within the EK Archery Cobra R9, RX and Adder platform.
- 15" Cobra R-Series / Siege bolts – longer R-Series bolts for compatible Cobra Siege configurations and related systems.
- 16–22" crossbow bolts – conventional longer bolts for many recurve and compound crossbows.
- Steambow AR-6 bolts – dedicated bolts for the modular Steambow AR-Series system.
- Supersonic REV / XL bolts – dedicated bolts for FMA Supersonic systems.
Length alone does not determine compatibility
Two crossbow bolts of the same length are not automatically interchangeable. With repeating crossbows and powerful compound crossbows in particular, correct dimensions, nock and bolt weight can be important. Magazine-fed systems also require bolts that feed correctly and reliably.
Always check the product specifications and stated compatibility with your crossbow. If you use a modified or higher-powered configuration, also check whether the bolt weight is suitable for that setup.
Important when choosing crossbow bolts
Never select a crossbow bolt by length alone. Only use bolts suitable for your specific crossbow, magazine and power configuration. An incorrect or excessively light bolt can cause malfunctions, damage or an unsafe situation.
