Please describe your suggested enhancement:
Please provide "bolt" and "quarrel" as charges. They are shorter arrows, used 
with the cross-bow. Just like the arrows, the ordinary position is in pale, 
with the point downward, that is, falling. When represented as rising, it 
should be "with point upwards," &c. Arrows appear blazoned as "barbed" or 
"armed" of the tincture of their points, and "flighted" or "feathered" of that 
of their feathers; also "notched" or "nooked" of the tincture of the end which 
rests on the bowstring. The tincture given is that of the shaft, but sometimes 
it is specifically named "shafted."
In bundles, the arrows are called "bundles" or "sheaves" of arrows, the number 
and position in some case mentioned. In these cases, they may be tied with a 
string.

Can you provide an example blazon?
Gules, three quarrels argent
