This 12-pack is a great deal for the price. However, I was hoping that the bolts would come with threaded or screwed-on heads instead of glued-on heads. The threaded version holds up much better for longer use. Unfortunately this version of the pistol bolts came with glued-on heads.

I have the 80 lb Cobra crossbow pistol, which is great. It came with three of these aluminum bolts and I ordered an extra pack of 12 aluminum bolts. Well, these bolts are terribly fragile. The plastic rear section that includes the fletching (fins) is quite brittle and breaks off easily. Once it breaks, they are not repairable. What can cause them to break? Almost anything. A target that's a little too hard, a slightly angled impact, etc. Order the plastic bolts available from Amazon and other sites. These plastic bolts are single piece, molded with a metal tip and are virtually unbreakable. Occasionally a metal tip will come off, but they are easy to glue back on with Superglue or any strong adhesive.

When shooting the bolts from 30 feet, all bolts landed within 1" of the bulls eye, so they appear to fly straight. The inaccuracy is likely due to my lack of proficiency with a cross bow or the cheap crossbow I was using.

looks cheap, but its not. use it for playing around might try small game with it .
shipping was fast if needed i will buy this again.

Great product for a great price. All work fantastically, though have a tendency to break when shot at say a piece of wood? The tips and ends are only glued in, instead of having threads that can be replaced or repaired. Perfect for a cheap, disposable practice bolt! I will definitely be buying more in the near future.

You can tell these were mass produced and made in china, but they're still more than satisfactory for my needs. i bought a second pack of these a day after they showed up. they're sharp as heck! and a nice weight.

Broke 2 within the first couple days, the shaft and tip are fairly strong, fletching is alot weaker, some came apart just pulling them out of a cardboard/phonebook target, though this was easily fixed by superglue, some actually broke at the metal and were unrepairable. While the ABS versions are not quite as durable, there are less pieces to break and are a bit cheaper, until I can find a decent metal bolt, or a way to make better fletching for these, I will be using the ABS bolts.

prossing and shipping was slow 4 bolts had lose tips must reglue 3 bolts had lose tails also must reglue but all in all for the price they will do.

Ok for the price but you get what you pay for. Half of them fell apart after first shot. The plastic part separates from aluminum body. You can glue it back though. But the plastic fits so loosely in the aluminum shaft that even straight out of the box they are crooked. And needles to say crooked arrow is not accurate. The arrows that are made entirely from plastic with a metal tip are much better. They look cheap but at least they are straight and accurate.

I haven't shot them yet but they seem strong and they are sharp at the point. The only concern I have is the lack of a nocking point on the tail and the fact that the fins are a tough plastic we'll see how it goes after I get my crossbow.
