I have a crossbow bolt that I fired in a hunting situation and recovered. The bolts I shoot, off the package read: HEA-620.6, Pro Elite Carbon 22/64 Arrows, 20' Omni-Nock.

Is there any check I need to do on the bolt for usability before I put another NAP Spitfire on it and reuse? Check for straightness? Anything?

It`s a TenPoint bolt for a TenPoint crossbow.

If it there are none use it.

^ This.
But if you see ANY broken filaments do NOT use it, unless you don't mind getting a face full of fiber shards.
Shaft should be smooth, with no splinters or cracks.
