RE: Boomslang Recon Crossbow
The only reason you have to use suppliers bolts is that the crossbow uses Flat Nocks instead of the normal half moon Nocks, simply buy flat Nocks and use them instead of the other ones when you buy bolts. There is absolutely nothing that sets this crossbow apart from others that you can't use your own bolts, as long as they are the right spine and length for the powerstroke of the crossbow. Just buy some heavy duty alloy bolts of E-bay and fit flat nocks, it is as simple as that.
A 12 inch bolt means the crossbow has a very short power stroke and will lose velocity and K.E. very quickly. Best kept under 40yds if you ask me, but perfectly good enough for all small game and birds. Even better if it has an adaptor so you can fit a reel and use fishing bolts.
