Bolts must be no less than 20/64ths in diameter and measure no shorter than 14 inches. All bolts must be identical in type and size and point weight.

Any archer using a variable power scope shall be responsible to tape or otherwise secure the adjustment setting to create a fixed magnification, prior to beginning competition. Crossbows must be in sound condition with a working safety. In an effort to supplement the two-minute rule and speed the crossbow loading process, crossbows should be cocked when the shooter is in the on-deck position. The safety must remain on, and crossbow must remain unloaded until the archer is at the stake and ready to shoot. The crossbow must be loaded while in a downward position and pointed in the direction of the target. No crossbow may be loaded while pointing up. X-BOW archers will shoot from the blue stake.
