I received these arrows as part of a Christmas present along with a 150lbs-force crossbow. They are clearly very inexpensive, and I found that a single pack lasted me around 50 shots, and would have gone much longer except for one problem: I'd highly advise you not shoot these into a grassy field unless you plan to lose them. They tend to completely imbed themselves in the ground on impact. Even with targets they penetrate quite well. Fair warning though, these could be very, very lethal with any strong bow, and though they are technically practice arrows, you will still want to be very careful. The only other problem is that after 5-10 shots on an arrow they can get warped. They will still probably work, but accuracy falls. All the more reason to be careful.

Overall these arrows are completely worth buying. They are excellent for practicing, and their quality is good enough that you won't break any except by shooting them at something quite hard like a tree. Don't be fooled by other arrows similar to these that are sold 6 for $15 dollars. From what I can tell, they are completely identical.

After shooting these bolts just one time each ,either the knocks or the tips came off. These bolts are not made for the Barnett crossbow they are advertised with either(caution) check the information they are only 14"s and could damage your crossbow.

WELL IF YOUR LOOKING FOR TARGET PRACTICE BOLTS,I DON'T RECOMEND THIS KIND OF THEM THEY BENT EASLY AND THE REAR TIP WILL FELL OFF BY THE FIRST SHOT,THEY'RE CHEAP QUALITY,WHEN I SHOOT MY CROSSBOW FOR FIRST TIME ONE OF VANES CAME OFF AND I THINK THEY WON'T LAST ME FOR SHOOT THEM TWICE TIMES.

It is exactly as described on the internet. Will buy this item again when the time comes to order more bolts. The shipping needs to be put in a box instead of brown paper wrapping. My one package of arrows was slightly bent. larry

Exactly what I expected, I'm happy with the product. It was a good opportunity to buy at a good price.

These bolts were ordered along with a 150# cross bow. They were too short for the bow that was ordered, therefore returned. Since the products were ordered together it should have been known they would not work with this bow.

When my wife asked if I wanted to buy 5 crossbow bolts for $8 I thought "wow! I won't find a better price anywhere!". They just came in and after looking them over I can understand why they were so cheap. The tip and shaft are fine, but the fletchings and the nock look like they were assembled by someone who's never even seen a crossbow before. The fletchings are just slightly taller than normal crossbow fletchings, making the bolt sit funny in the rail. The worst part is the nock. The maker didn't even align them to the fletchings. this is kind of a safety hazard because in the best case they won't ever fly strait. worst case they jump off the string and go wherever the forces of chaos dictate. My advice: Instead of paying for 5 nearly worthless shafts, go ahead and spend your money on some well made, properly assembled bolts.

The vanes fell off of two of them as soon as the pack was opened. I then checked the rest of them and they have not been glued all the way.

I bought these for target shooting with my new 150# crossbow. Do not waste your money and time on these. After one round of shooting into a commercial block target 3 out of the 5 arrows were no longer usable. On two of the them the fletching fell off, the other two bent when I easily pulled them out to the target. I have shot many times with the original arrows I had with no issues. These appear to made very flimsy and will not last more than a half dozen shots each if that.

These arrows are small and short, my original arrows that came with my crossbow were 16" long, these are only 14. They shoot ok just not as good as the originals.
