Re: What arrow weight do you prefer?

Re: The XAct Broadhead
I also used the 100 gr XAct mechanical and satisfied so far ....but I am brand new to crossbow hunting this fall so take my opinion lightly. I was a bit concerned if the POI would be the same as the 100 grain field points, but my first (and only) shot at a buck was spot on. I was actually hoping to ...
