[Ansteorra] Combat Bolts

[John]

JP has it right.  What has been discovered is that sometimes the shaft 
does not fully seat.  Either from an air pocket, too much glue that can 
not escape or not being fully seated.  Marking the depth on the shaft 
helps but it is not always done.  Those of us have inspected more than 
our fair share of bolts and arrows not too mention our own.  We do take 
notes and review them as a group.
