"Heavy crossbows can shoot heavy bolts; but how heavy? I have a variety of replica bolts of historic weights going from 65g up to 159g (1000grains to 2450grains) and I shoot them for distance from a 850lbs draw weight crossbow and then compare the results with a 1250lbs crossbow I shot years ago…" YouTube link Armand

Well Tango01 I must give credit where credit is due. THIS video was very interesting. i think the thing that I walked away with was the sound when he fired it. sounded like a gun. And the pointed three went around 225 yards each give or take, at high trajectory.
