Quarrel

A quarrel is the technical term for a crossbow bolt.

Since a quarrel 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".
