Why would anyone purchase these when you can buy a de-cocking/discharging/unloading bolt for reuse?

fail safe. failure upon reuse is NOT an option and I don't have to hunt it down

Well from my personal experience, I had a Carbon Express Crossbow Release Bolt. It worked great for the first three uses. Then on the forth use, the hardened head sheared clean off the shaft. So I guess the reusable kind are only reusable for a few shots. These seem a cheaper way to go.

Why would you even be looking at these to see my review if they serve no purpose? If you do not have anything to say about the product then find something else to do. Thanks

What reusable bolts are you refering to? Could you possibly provide a link?

I would not try to tell anyone else what to do, but I don't like messing with unloading my crossbow while I am in my deer stand. Just put the dummy in and pull the trigger.

lol, for several reasons. First may I say I have a reusable decocking arrow which works fine... What I use these other arrows for is when there is a squirrel, rabbit or other small animal that is in season, and I have nothing but a broadhead with me... I put one of these little beauties together and I have something more than capable to take the small game. They do work for discharging you bow... but why not also take home additional meat for the freezer?

Simplicity for one reason. Safety for the second. Easiest way to unload my crossbow before climbing out of my stand, is to use the unloading bolt. Personal preference I guess.

Most likely don't for a combination of reasons (like they want cheap and metal ones may be more likely to short/arc which is a higher risk). If you really want metal clamps, just getting some from a local parts store may be easier than hunting for an OEM to provide them.

These are available from multiple sources. I got mine from the crossbow store (thecrossbowstore.com). you can also find them listed on e-bay and Amazon.com.

I just used the bolt I had. I didn't buy any. Just took old ring off and then put this one on.

Why would you be thinking of buying this kit if you are asking this question?

Why would you want to bother refilling these. The price is so economical that it is not worth the trouble refilling them.

Home Depot and lowes are a rip off. They may be cheaper because its not the same product. They just pay Makita so they can sell them . It's a knock off brand made to look like Makita.

It helps you remove the bolt from a target. If the insert pulls out because the bolt is stuck in the target you just pull out the insert. Making that a minor repair.

No, you have to shoot the bolt to unload it, using a bolt with a field point seems to be the best way to do it, as long as you are shooting it into something that you can remove the bolt from easily.

Got me,,,,, my guess is they have more of the cheaper ones in stock &.they want to get rid of them quicker. ????

Take the bolts and nuts to any ACE or True Value Hardware stores. The folks there should be able to find equivalent sizes (if not identical threading) to replace the stock hardware with longer versions. Go with stainless steel if you can find it -- the few bucks extra will be worth it once you see how quick regular steel hardware can rust (and forced to replace it over and over). Cheers and all the best, -Rob

no, they come with nothing, if you can ,reuse the stock hardware. just take your time removing them

Hello:It appears to be some sort of cheap die-cast material. Very lacking in quality. I would say, spend some more money on Ritchey or Profile bars or buy some used! I used these once and they were ok, but the metal stripped out and I had to fix it with a nut and bolt. You really need to think of the safety issue too and my gut feeling tells me that these are not a bargain at any price!!! You get what you pay for.

I am not sure they sell them, it is cheaper to buy the whole thing. I have a new one that I never used, make me an offer.

These are once fired brass that needs to be reloaded. Amazon does not allow the sale of loaded ammo

They're drywall anchors. If you're not mounting it in drywall you don't need them.

These are sold where ever firearm accesories are sold. I have seen them at Walmart, Kmart, Bass Pro, ect. But usualy twice the price as amazon. But as far as a hardware store goes, only a mom and pop place that also carries hunting accesories.
