BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

This bolt is made strictly for use with any fifty pound to eighty pound pistol crossbow. This is a nine and one quarter inch plastic bolt with a threaded tip. Total length of this bolt will depend on the length of the metal point used. This new bolt solves many problems often found with the restricted uses of the other bolts commonly used with a pistol crossbow.

Some of those restricted uses are due to their short length causing lack of visibility during flight and their irretrievability after flight. Another restriction is their inability to be used for tournament competition, small game hunting, pistol crossbow fishing or pistol crossbow scuba fishing. The MORRIS 80 PLASTIC SHARK BOLT solves those problems.

SUMMARY OF THIS INVENTION

This one piece nine and one quarter inch plastic bolt, combined with a variety of metal points, is made for the fifth pound to eighty pound pistol crossbow. It will be used for recreational shooting, tournament competition, small game hunting, pistol crossbow fishing or pistol crossbow scuba fishing. It will totally change and enhance the way any pistol crossbow is used.

DETAILED DISCRIPTION OF INVENTION

(1) Bolt is nine and one quarter inches in length. (Figure A-1)

(2) Bolt shaft is a five-sixteenth of an inch diameter and dowel shaped. (Figure C-2)

(3) This bolt, fitted with a metal point, is designed to reach or extend past the end of any pistol crossbow barrel.

(4) Bolt is a solid plastic unit which includes a nock, two flat wings, a tail, a shaft and a threaded or rounded tip to receive a variety of metal points. (Figure D)

(5) Bolt is made of a durable light weight plastic compound yet to be determined.

(6) Each of the two side wings are flat and level with the top of the shaft. (Figure A-3)

(7) Each wing is five inches long (Figure B-1) and one-sixteenth of an inch thick. (Figure A-3)

(8) Each wing is tapered from five-sixteenth of an inch width down to approximately one-sixteenth of an inch width starting three-quarters of an inch from the nock down the length of the five inch wing. (Figure A-2)

(9) The tail is three and one half inches long (Figure A-5) and one-sixteenth of an inch thick.

(10) The tail is three-sixteenths of an inch tall and tapered down on each end. (Figure B-1)

Claims

(1) 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 recreational shooting, competition shooting, small game hunting, pistol crossbow fishing and pistol crossbow scuba fishing. No other pistol crossbow bolt can do this.

(2) This ten inch pistol crossbow bolt is a solid one piece unit made of a strong but, light weight plastic compound. No other pistol crossbow bolt is a one piece unit of this length. It has a NOCK to securely hold the bow string in place. Most bolts do not have a nock. It has two FLAT WINGS level with the top of the shaft to control elevation and, a stabilizing TAIL which creates an accurate and stable bolt flight. No other pistol crossbow bolt has level flat wings or a stabilizing tail.
