Re: What arrow weight do you prefer?

I'm new at this so please take it easy on me :-) I am using the good ole Diablo 18 inch 250 GR + NAP Spitfire XXX Mechanical Broadhead 100 Gr. Does that put me at 350 GR or are there other pieces I'm missing in my math?

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 ...
