Archery Camo 400 Grain Crossbow Bolts 20 22 in - Precision Hunting

In this review the Archery Camo 400 Grain Crossbow Bolts are evaluated for hunters and target shooters who want consistent, ready-to-shoot carbon bolts in a pack. The biggest reason to consider these bolts is the factory sorting and tight tolerances - shafts are checked for +/-0.003 in straightness and weight consistency, which directly improves shot-to-shot accuracy for high-FPS crossbows. The package of 12 bolts and removable half-moon nocks make them a practical choice for range practice or field use.

Key Features

• Precision straightness: Shafts are examined and sorted by machine to keep straightness within +/-0.003 in for consistent flight.
• Consistent weight: Shaft weight is held to +/-1 grain so completed bolts of 20 in length land near 400 grain for repeatable ballistics.
• Durable carbon construction: Made from 100% precision carbon for a shaft that resists splitting and stands up to field use.
• Ready to shoot set: Each pack includes 12 bolts with 100 grain points, removable half-moon nocks, and 3 in TPU vanes for practical use out of the box.
• Two length options: Available in 20 in (400 grain) and 22 in (420 grain) finished lengths to suit different crossbow setups.

Who It's For

These bolts are aimed at crossbow users who prioritize consistent flight and value a uniform pack for hunting or serious practice. The precise straightness and tight weight tolerance make them a solid pick for shooters using high-FPS modern crossbows where small differences in shaft geometry translate to measurable changes downrange.

Beginners will find the preassembled 12-piece pack convenient, but those needing specialty nocks, exotic point styles, or ultra-light setups outside the 400-420 grain range should look elsewhere. Also, shooters who demand bespoke spine tuning beyond standard sorting may prefer custom-built shafts.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Highly consistent shafts due to machine sorting, improving group tightness.
• Durable 100% carbon construction that resists splitting during normal field use.
• Good out-of-the-box value with 12 complete bolts including points, nocks, and 3 in vanes.

Cons

• Some users report variations in pattern quality of the camo finish, so cosmetic consistency can vary.
• Finished weight and length options are limited to 20 in and 22 in with 100 grain points, which may not suit every tuning need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the vanes repairable if warped?
Yes. If the plastic vane shape is distorted, placing the vane in 176F-194F hot water for a few minutes will help it recover its original shape.

Will these bolts fit my high-FPS crossbow?
They are designed to work with most high-FPS crossbows when used at the specified 20 in or 22 in finished lengths and 400-420 grain total weight.

Can the nocks be changed?
The bolts use removable half-moon nocks, so you can replace them with compatible nocks if you prefer a different style.
