The Bodkin Arrows with the black coding ring have a sharp point made of hardened tool steel and are heavier than our Target Arrows. The higher weight and hardened point give these arrows considerable penetrating ability. Even though they have no blades, these arrows cause considerably more serious wounds than Target Arrows. That and the ability of these arrows to penetrate targets particularly well makes them especially dangerous. This means that extreme care must be exercised when using bodkin arrows, and better target media are needed. Note that the sharp edges on these arrow points actually cut the target medium, and that Bodkin Arrows thus wear targets out significantly faster than our Target Arrows. Because of this, we do not recommend these arrows for regular practice. The somewhat higher weight means that these arrows cause less stress to the limbs. The color code is provided by a black anodized aluminum ring, and the arrow shaft is made of carbon.
AR-Series – light bodkin arrows
The light Bodkin Arrows are ideal for 35 to 75 lbs and have a carbon shaft, a glued hardened tool steel point, and a high quality polymer nock.
AR-Series – heavy bodkin arrows
The heavy bodkin arrows (marked by an additional stainless-steel ring) are designed for our limbs with higher draw weights (90 to 120 lb). They have a high-quality aluminum nock and a hybrid carbon/aluminum shaft, meaning there is an aluminum core running inside the carbon shaft. This complex structure offers outstanding flight characteristics and makes the arrows extremely robust. At a weight of 228 grains, these arrows are considerably heavier than most pistol crossbow arrows and strike their target with high momentum. They can more easily penetrate hard target materials like metal sheeting or glass.
