Crossbow Bolts

A quarrel or bolt is the arrow used in a crossbow. The name "quarrel" is derived from the French carré, "square", referring to the fact that they typically have square heads. Although their length varies, they are typically shorter than traditional arrows. The phrase "to pick a quarrel" is taken from archery jargon, and refers to picking one of the bolts used by a crossbow in preparation for battle.
