Re: Adding weight to an arrow

Thanks for another great option. I do have some brass weights in 25gr that screw into the back of the inserts already so I can go that route and some 6mm brass inserts(too small). I was just wondering about the bullets as I have moulds for various 30 cal bullets that I can produce heavy weights for ...

Adding weight to an arrow

Hi,

Tried finding an answer in previous posts, but didn't see any info. In the past I have used .243 bullets glued in behind the insert to add weight to regular diameter arrows and was wondering if anyone has tried .308 bullets in the Quill for added weight.

Re: Arrow question

Well I did it. I picked up a Exocet with the lite stuff kit. Looked at the Axiom, nice rig, but the scope was the worst I have ever seen. Checked two to make sure the one wasn't a dud, but both were sub par. Kinda reminds me of my vision after a couple bottles of merlot. :P Anyhow the arrows.. I now...

Re: Arrow question

I did a bit of looking and I see that the crossbow arrows look almost the same as the regular arrows, but are about .04" bigger. :oops:

So I guess I should ask what is the range in shaft diameter that I can use and what is the minimum spine?

Re: Arrow question

Thanks Boo,

I guess that rules out the 2419s :(

So any concerns on using the 4560 terminators?

Re: Arrow question

Arrow diameter is not an issue. 2419 is 24/64 of an inch opposed to the common 2219 that is 22/64 of an inch and is of higher spine. The carbon arrows are all roughly the same whether for a vert or horizontal bow, unless you use the new HIT type arrows. I assume the reason that there is no nock for ...

Arrow question

Hello, I am looking at adding a crossbow to my hunting toy collection. I am not sure on what model of Excalibur I want at this time. One thing I'd like to do is possibly utilize some of my other arrows that I have for my various other bows that I no longer use for them. I have two sets of arrows I c...
