Bolts, Strings & Setup
The Sub-1 needs bolts matched to its specific length and weight - see the bolts hub before buying a set. For cocking, Mission sells both a rope cocking aid and an optional crank cocking device; if you're decocking or sighting in a Sub-1 for the first time, see our decocking guide. A hard case and matched replacement string and cable set round out what most Sub-1 owners buy next.
