Crossbow Bolts

Post by RenJunkie »

For those of you who shoot SCA target archery with a crossbow, where do you buy your bolts from?

Thanks!

Every good traditional archery shop should be able to make them.
If you have a Pennsic Merchant guide it should list a number of dealers.
http://www.mericarchery.com/ is my local dealers.

your local SCA archery comunity will probily have a few people makeing their own bolts and arrows.
This works well paticularly as other archers that know you are apt to barter or build a group order for supplies.
