With such screens there is usually the -, +, / or * option. Check the screen if it says anything about scroll or up/down things

To go the other way, - or /

If you're looking to kill, wood bolts are not viable. If you want to break hands, arms and legs and break morale, they'll be good enough.

Kills buzzards, hurts other things. Use them in tandem with a melee squad, and they'll be incredibly useful. Use metal bolts, you've already got a defence :P
