I am wanting to buy a crossbow to hunt with during the any weapon season but before I buy one I want to know the length of bolts that I need before I buy one.
Answer:
You can find specifications for archery equipment in the 2014 Big Game seasons and rules book (page 100). Under Archery equipment it reads: "it is unlawful to pursue or kill big game animals: with a bolt (crossbow) less than 12 inches from broadhead to nock inclusive."
