First of all the duct tape is the clear winner, I should do a video how i fold it at top and bottom, the store bought vanes they are ok if you have unlimited supply and lot of glue, because my crossbow is pushing the vanes into the target causing them to split, the duct tape just goes in and once pulled out maintains its shape.
The heads well I was not really making a shtf type bolt I was just doing what I do hobby fuck about thing, I would suggest maybe nails would be everywhere or screws, cans, even carved wooden points, or bone I think this list could go on and on.
I will knock something up and test.

For close range work (which is what crossbows should be used for anyway), they were very good.
80lb Crossbow I take it?
If you use dale/wood in these type crossbows in the videos they would shatter and could cause injury.
