Still only a 40 yard weapon though. The lighter weight of the bolts means more loss of energy past 20 yards.


The bolts are not lighter weight. Most are 400-450 grains. Some manufacturers supply 350-370 gr bolts to exaggerate the fps, but most have gone to 400+. His Siege, with a 400 gr bolt will exceed the ft. pounds of energy of a fast compound bow at the bow...at 70 yds.
