My wife's going to buy me this crossbow for Christmas... and was just curious if anyone who has it tried to make their own darts?

I did not try to make my own bolts but with the power of this bow I think it might be dangerous. crossbow bolts are rated different than regular arrows.

No never made my own. This crossbow is excellent with the arrows that come with it. I shot it twice in my backyard then went hunting. Got my 1st deer with it with one shot. Great crossbow.

Darts are kind of ligth...however the go pretty far.I would b a bit concern about the weigth of the line and that u won't get you line tangle and the dart stuck with the branches.Hope this helps.

No those darts are too small compared to the ones this gun uses. Search mega darts if you would like extra bullets for this particular gun.

Horrible idea. If i was in your house and you pulled any type of weapon on me, you can guarantee Im drawing and firing. If youd like something for home defense without spending $400 and needing permits, check out the pistol grip crossbows on this site. Theyll get the job done.

I agree with "daddyo". I will be hunting with Arrow Precision 6 Pack Carbon Arrows (20-Inch) tipped with G5 Outdoors T3 100 Grain 3 Pack Crossbow Broadhead. With the bolts and tips that came with it I am hitting groups the size of my fist at 25 yards and the last time I was firing it I actually "Robin Hooded" one of my bolts. Split the end of the bolt with another bolt. Very cool story but terribly unfortunate for my bolt count.

I just got one of these about a month ago and it came with the 20" arrows not 22". Also it came with a quiver that was not magnet quick detach. So I'm guessing this is a older lot. I can say that I haven't had any issues with scratching the stock when cocking or a loose foot stirrup. I would order some custom arrows from Jerry at south Shore archery though. I tried the 20" head hunters and a pack of easton 22" devastators but you will likely find that a few arrows will fly together and a few will fly together just in a different spot. Jerry will spine index all his arrows so this shouldn't happen. They could just need nock tuning also but she's a great shooter. Did I mention it is quit compared to some others. I would buy again if I didn't have the money for a scorpyd. Hope this helps.

Jim I have the same board and these darts. Highly recommend you get the snub nosed tips NOT the standard long ones. And buy the big bag....you'll go through them. Once the tips get a bit soft....the darts don't stay in the board well. Sorry I'm mobile and don't have a link to post.

The crossbow is really good for the price. It's very accurate and shoots pretty good. Well built, easy to put together, and fits both left and right handed shooters. Overall great bow for starters.

My sister has had this since last Xmas 2013 & I just got it for my youngest son. It still worked great when he played with the game. After a year & still looks new. He loved it so much. I had to get his own set for Xmas. I did get extra darts too. For both boys to play with. Hope this helps!!

There was a pamphlet with the packaging that advertised for more darts and accessories. I have not purchased any additional darts so I would not know, sorry.

Nice easy to draw compound crossbow very accurate but have you tried it yet?

It's very real but it is smaller then a normal crossbow but still packs the same punch! I personally love it! You will either have to mod it or figure out a good grip to handle it. I use two hands on the main hand grip and hold normally. It is awesome. I promise I'm real too not some computer. Look up bobby whitter on YouTube I don't think I have a video review..... Yet >:)

most Nerf, or similar brand, will work and fire from the crossbow. Some even have suction cup tip for shooting at target.

Hi there,Not sure actually, I purchased as a Christmas Gift. But I would imagine that NERF makes their darts unified in size. Sorry I can't be of more help, good luck!

It is not difficult to cock. I am skinny ~average strength. Anyone who says the rope cock is too long or has to be cut is *doing it wrong*. Read the directions please on the rope device before posting otherwise. You put 1 hook on one side of the stock, thread the device around the stock, then put the other hook on the other side of the crossbow string. What you're left are two short lengths of rope handles and 3 fulcrums which do all the work for you. Don't just attach the two hooks and pull with all your might with all the leftover rope. This crossbow is fun and easy to use :)

I had a very hard time as well. It took 3 grown men to do this. I suggest looking on YouTube on how to string the crossbow. It was very helpful, but like I said, you will need 3 to do this
