Non-Bitter Shooter Looking For Crossbow Bolts That Can Penetrate Balloons

(1/4) > >>

Lorimor:
Hi,  I'm Tim.  I'm not bitter but I am looking for bolts for a pistol crossbow that can actually penetrate ordinary latex balloons.  (At least, we were told that they were ordinary balloons.) 

I would like to practice shooting balloons with a pistol crossbow in a non-bitter manner to alleviate any bitter feelings that I'm not feeling that may have a resulted from a recent match that involved shooting a balloon with a pistol crossbow.   So to do that, I need some GOOD bolts that actually work. 

They DO make them, right? 

Signed,

Tim

Now, now, Tim.  Those bolts worked perfectly well at bursting balloons....








.....for everyone else.


(Yeah, me neither.  And in my video, you can see the bolt hitting the balloon sideways and bouncing off.  And it was MY pistol crossbow!)
