Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find an excalibur carbon crossbow bolt in a feild with 3 inch high grass?

Good luck! We lost one here on my lawn, 1" grass and it didn't show up for weeks!
A metal detector can find it by the tip.

Might try draging a garden rake accross the path of the arrow. 90 degrees. Worked for me when I lost em.

I did the same thing once. I went back the next day and an animal had dug it up . . .maybe a possum? That was cool.

My neighbor came over with his pistol crossbow yesterday and we lost one in my yard and I had just mowed. Those pistol crossbows . . .I've done more damage with a rubberband and a wad of paper.
