A crossbow bolt typically travels at speeds ranging from 300 to 400 feet per second (fps), depending on the type of crossbow and the weight of the bolt. High-performance crossbows can even exceed these speeds, reaching up to 500 fps. The speed can be influenced by factors such as the draw weight of the crossbow, the design of the bolt, and the type of bowstring used. Overall, crossbow bolts are significantly faster than traditional arrows shot from a compound or recurve bow.
