Abstract
Each bolt of a set has three vanes and a nock with three diametrical transverse grooves; each groove is perpendicular to a corresponding vane. Each bolt is shot at least three times with a crossbow, at least once with each one of the vanes extending downward into the rail slot of a crossbow. After noting the positions on a target for each shot of each bolt, one vane of each bolt is marked so that shooting the set of bolts with the corresponding marked vanes extending downward into the rail slot results in the smallest grouping pattern for the set of bolts.
