Inserting The Bolts:
There is a very small groove in the very centre of the bolt channel and a corresponding male extrusion on the bolt itself.
This is there to make the bolt sit short of the trigger mechanism when sliding in to place.
This groove is subtle and only there as a guide.
Tip: If you want to get some actual power out of the crossbow, then use a length of TPU instead of a rubber band. This will allow the bow to actually flex and at least doubles the power of the bolt. Do this with caution though, as not only does this make the crossbow potentially dangerous (Not suitable for kids) but it can also significantly weaken the bow after several shots. If you get the tension of the TPU right, then you can achieve a happy medium between power and longevity :) Have fun! :P
I will be releasing some targets to go with this crossbow very soon.
