There is no set number of how many times you can shoot a crossbow bolt. It depends on the crossbow bolt’s condition after the repetitive shooting. As long as it is in good shape and not damaged, you can use it again. But, if there are cracks, dents, or chips, it will disqualify it from further use, no matter how small it is. After shooting a bolt into an animal, broadheads also tend to become dull and have dents. You can either sharpen or replace it, depending on the blade’s sharpness. Remember to clean, do a spin test, and polish it before using it again.
