[EK Archery] 20" Carbon Crossbow Bolts (6 Pack)

The EK Archery 20" Carbon Crossbow Bolts (6 Pack) are lightweight, durable arrows designed for use with compound and recurve crossbows, emphasizing precision, speed, and reliability in target practice or hunting scenarios.

They feature a carbon fiber shaft for reduced weight and increased strength compared to aluminum alternatives, with removable tips allowing for customization like switching to broadheads.

Specifications

Length: 20 inches
Material: 100% carbon fiber shaft
Weight: Approximately 370-400 grains (total, including point; varies slightly by configuration)
Vanes/Fletching: 4-inch plastic vanes, typically in a 2 yellow / 1 red color scheme for visibility and stability
Nock: Moon nock (half-moon style for secure string fit)
Insert: Aluminum for durability and easy point attachment
Point: Screw-in field point (removable, often 100-125 grains)
Diameter: Standard crossbow bolt outer diameter (around 0.344 inches or 8.8mm)
Pack Size: 6 bolts per pack
Other Features: Balanced for high-speed flight, with a straightness tolerance suitable for accurate shooting up to 400+ FPS crossbows

These specs make them a step up from basic aluminum bolts, offering better penetration and less flex during launch.

Compatibility

These bolts are primarily designed for EK Archery's full-size compound crossbows, where the 20-inch length matches or slightly exceeds the rail for safe and stable shooting. They work best with models that have draw weights of 150-200 lbs and power strokes around 13-15 inches, achieving speeds up to 400 FPS.

Specific compatible EK Archery models include:

Accelerator 370+ and 410: Optimized for 20" bolts, included in standard kits for high-speed performance (370-410 FPS).
Guillotine M and X series: Standard with 20" carbon bolts, ideal for their 185 lbs draw weight and bullpup design, delivering 370-400 FPS.

Other full-size models: Compatible with any EK Archery crossbow (or similar brands like Barnett) that specifies 16-22" bolts, moon nocks, and standard carbon diameter. Avoid using with compact/repeating models like REVO7 (6.5" bolts), Cobra R9/RX (7.5-15" bolts), Siege (15.5" bolts), or VLAD (6.3" bolts), as shorter rails require shorter bolts to prevent dry-firing or instability.

In general, compatibility extends to non-EK crossbows if they accept 20" carbon bolts with moon nocks—check your crossbow's manual for exact rail length, nock type, and minimum bolt weight (typically 350-450 grains total). Using mismatched lengths can risk damage or poor accuracy. For best results, stick to manufacturer-recommended specs to ensure proper spine (stiffness) and flight.
