For those complaining they break.. of course they do if you hit something solid.. They are not designed for infinite use. They are pretty much for using without expectation of reuse much. If your target is soft, you can get quite a few runs from them. Hit something solid, they will snap. While the tips are not tight by any means, I just use a bit of gorilla glue and that makes a big difference. I also do not hit things up close as the crossbow itself is pretty strong and these are meant to kill small game.. so of course hitting hard objects, they are not going to last.

Real sturdy, and drives right into a dead tree. Hard to get back out though, so carry plieres.

Almost every single one i shot the end piece would break off or the tip would come off. Not very built to last more than 3 shots each...

All of the flights broke on impact with a cardboard box in four shots or less even though they were supposedly for an 80 lb bow. The plastic is just too brittle. I advised BUDK that these were not up to the quality of every other product I have received from them, that they were doing their customers a disservice by offering them and should discontinue them. Several months later, they're still here and at a higher price. Don't waste your money on these. If your heart is set on aluminum bolts then spend the extra money to buy some quality bolts. These are not them!

Bought with the 80LB Crossbow, great price.

These are terrible, at best. First one shot broke, same with 2nd. Shooting at soft target broke first one. 2nd broke while leaving the mini-crossbow. These would be great if the plastic they use was not brittle - very brittle. Bought a couple of packs of the black plastic darts and they work well.

I bought this bow right before the holidays had by Christmas. Haven't had any issues of any kind. Took about 5min. to assemble. The dart issues are an easy fix if the fins come out of the shaft. A drop of Gorilla or super glue on the fin push it back in the shaft and your good to go.

I really liked the Cobra Crossbow, two bad the arrows suck! At first glance, arrows look great, aluminum shafts with metal target tips. They shoot great, but your lucky to get more the one to two shots before plastic fins break off. I bought a crossbow target from gander mountain and stops arrows great and easy to pull out. The arrows just can't handle the impact of the target. Looking for better bolts, but don't seem to be any out there for the pistol crossbows? If id had known this, i wouldn't have bought it.

AWFUL. every. single. time. i. used. these. darts. they. break.

I shoot these out of a standard CrossBow and they work just fine. I use them for target practice. Sure they break now and then, but they are so inexpensive, I think they are a pretty good buy. Even at a dollar a shot. They fly fast and hit hard.
