Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 1c1

A quarrel is the technical term for a container used for keeping crossbow bolts. In contrast to a quiver, a quarrel tends to be made of more durable material.

A quarrel is the technical term for a crossbow bolt.

Changed: 3c3

Since a crossbow bolt is not just an arrow, the bolts have different characteristics. They fall at the same rate, independent of the speed of flight. An arrow, in contrast depends on gaining lift in flight, and are made so the balance point is about 9% of the length forward of the center point if the arrow. This is called "point plaining".

Removed: 5d4

Since the crossbow bolts are shot from the center of the crossbow, (an arrow doesn't have to be launched from the center point of a bow), the quarrel doesn't have to maintain the arrow spine in the same way.
