When combined with a metal point, this ten inch plastic pistol crossbow bolt is designed to extend past the barrel of a pistol crossbow so it can be used for small game hunting, pistol crossbow fishing, recreational shooting and competition shooting. The major fault of the standard bolt commonly used with a pistol crossbow is, they are less than seven inches in length and do not extend past the end of a pistol crossbow barrel. Therefore, their use is limited to target points and recreational shooting only. Other faults of the standard short bolts are their high travel speed. They are very difficult to be viewed in flight, causing most bolts to be lost after one use. Also, because of their irretrievability from any commonly used target, they cannot be found and scored in any type of shooting competition. This ten inch bolt is a solid one piece unit made of a strong but, light weight plastic compound. It has a NOCK to securely hold the bow string in place. Standard pistol crossbow bolts do not have a nock. It has two ROUNDED WINGS and a stabilizing TAIL which creates an accurate and stable bolt flight. No other pistol crossbow bolt has rounded wings and a tail. These features allow this bolt to be easily viewed in flight. The shaft has a THREADED TIP to accept almost any type metal point. The major advantage of this new bolt over other patented bolts of this size is the rounded wings. The rounded wings gives this bolt added body weight. This added body weight requires additional point weight to balance with that heavier body weight. This heavier bolt body gives this bolt the added weight needed for knock-down power in small game hunting and, the necessary added weight for better water penetration when used for pistol crossbow fishing.

Fish use their fins to maintain stability when they are swimming. Specifically, their dorsal fin keeps them from rolling over. Some vehicles or objects suffer from stability problems. To solve this problem of stability, fins can be utilized like a fish. By using the methodology that fish use in their fins, vehicles and objects can become more resistant to rolling or yawing.

Ammunition cartridge comprising a rigid casing including a tubular sleeve and a base closing an end of the casing, a projectile mounted at another end of the casing, a propellant charge contained inside the casing, and an ignition device. The ignition device comprises an ignition charge arranged to ignite the propellant charge at a point of ignition distal from the base and proximal the projectile.

It has a NOCK to securely hold the bow string in place. Most bolts do not have a nock. it has two FLAT WINGS for elevation stabilizing which creates an accurate and stable bolt flight. No other bolt has this type of flat wings. These features allow this bolt to be easily viewed in flight. This also allows this bolt to be used for competition shooting because these bolts can be easily located, scored and then retrieved from any type competition target. The shaft has a THREADED TIP to accept almost any type metal point.
