I was trawling DX and they had some crossbows.But they were loaded with some kind of darts.I thought crossbows were loaded with short arrows?

I post one of them, look at the pictures for those darts.

Can someone explain this to me?
I would rather hit my target gently than miss hard.

Not sure what country you are trying to import.

Two things seems to stick out , sold out and 32 kg pull weight. That's about 80 lbs of draw weight and will not go as far as they are claiming 100 meters. That's 108 yards. I don't have my cross bow with me at this moment but our draw weight is 150 - 185 lbs and is not recommended to shoot beyond 50 yards, that's 40 meters. Given the cheap scope and limbs and hardware I will not be buying it. No offense to any one and me no experts - Haji

I amn't buying.I just was curious, with the kind of projectiles fired.Maybe they claim 100 yards because it is with darts and not full size arrows?

That is not a proper cross bow as one uses for purposes like hunting, that is more of a toy.
