While it is not necessary that you use crossbow bolts made by your crossbow's manufacturer, it is important that the bolts and arrows that you choose are compatible with your crossbow. They may also make other recommendations and guidelines that you will want to follow regarding which type of crossbow bolt is best to achieve peak performance from your crossbow. Most crossbow manufacturers will recommend a minimum grain weight and bolt length that is best for use in each model. When you are buying crossbow bolts for use with your crossbow, the first step you should make is to look at your crossbow manufacturers specific recommendations. Other highlights: The SUB-1's scope rail is machined from super stiff 7075 aluminum that Mission says has great "memory," meaning your scope holds its zero even when the scope is bumped in transit or you accidentally drop your crossbow while crossing a fence or ducking through some tight cover.Top of Page Buying the Best Crossbow Bolts

Meanwhile, the SUB-1 features a patent-pending Easy Load Arrow Retention Arm that makes loading bolts simple and holds them securely once in place. (front of center) balance point for maximum accuracy. Finished bolts weigh 420 grains and have a 16.4 percent F.O.C. They are finished with 3-inch shield cut vanes in a 1-degree helical orientation, Mission aluminum half-moon nocks and 100-grain fieldpoints. Mission's bolts for the SUB-1 are built using 20-inch Victory Archery carbon shafts with a +/-.001-inch straightness. I tried it numerous times, and it is the best de-cocking feature I've seen to date on a compound crossbow. One of the coolest things about the trigger is a patented de-cocking feature that allows users to let the crossbow down simply by attaching the cocking rope, pressing a button, pulling up on the rope and slowly relaxing the string. The trigger also offers an ambidextrous auto-engaging safety and anti-dry fire mechanism. Mission advertises trigger pull at 3.4 pounds. If you decide not to shoot, simply relax the trigger to return to the zero position. Trigger: Speaking of the trigger, Mission's patented Benchmark Fire Control Trigger features a frictionless, two-stage, ball bearing roller sear that allows shooters to slowly take up travel until a solid back wall is reached, followed by a crisp break into the shot. In front of the trigger housing is a contoured foregrip with wide safety wings that effectively keep the shooter's hand safely below the string's path.

In addition to the included pistol grip, the frame is compatible with any standard AR-style aftermarket grip, allowing SUB-1 shooters to create the same grip setup found on their favorite firearm. The butt stock offers multiple mounting positions, while the ambidextrous cheek piece features more than an inch of adjustability for perfect alignment between your eye and the scope.īelow the rail is a machined aluminum stock with AR-style pistol grip behind the trigger housing. The SUB-1's length of pull and comb height can be adjusted to fit each shooter. This isolates bolt/rail contact to the front and back of the rail, dramatically reducing friction and string wear, while also allowing the bolt to be guided through the launch by the string itself rather than the rail. Rail/Stock: The bow at the front of the unit is connected to the trigger mechanism and stock in the rear by a patented, CNC-machined aluminum rail that is slightly concave, meaning the surface of the rail sits higher at the front and rear than it does in the center. The SUB-1 measures 14 inches wide between the axles at rest and a highly maneuverable 10.8 inches wide when cocked. Limbs and pockets are attached to the bow with a compact aluminum riser that has an integrated footrest to keep overall crossbow length to a minimum. Mission says the 200-pound draw weight limbs are extremely rigid to eliminate accuracy-robbing twist, while the limb pockets feature a very tight fit for maximum precision. Limbs/Pockets/Riser: In addition to a familiar cam design, Mathews fans will notice short, wide limbs and limb pockets on the SUB-1, much like those found on the company's top target and hunting bows.

Second, the letoff in the cam system makes the SUB-1 significantly easier to cock using a rope cocking aid, because pulling the string back becomes much easier as it nears full draw.
