another bolt question

Post by strum »

since my bow is a years old it came with Laserbolt carbons
they came in the right stuff pakage..
says #22series..im assuming these are decent arrows ..but since excalibure changed to firebolts it makes me wonder..
I have no scale so i dont know the weight..(wish i did) any input ? It also came with wasp BHs but i have always used thunder heads ..i never see yall talk about those..how come?

Morning, T-heads don't seem to do right in grouping well with faster CB's. I think the older GT II were abit heavier 10-15 gr than the newer one's. I use GT II there are several other choice's, Victory, carbon express maxima hunters

TH's never grouped well for most of us so they never made it to the A-list.
GT II are about 270 gr without a head.

thanks guys i shot the exo did great no issues at all sighted it in at 20 then checked the 30 chevron right on .. then i took yalls advice and didnt even try the thunderheads ..it came with 100gr wasps so i shot em..lol had to do a little adjusting they shot low and to the left but after a tweek or two they are right on . killed a bolt with a bolt.
liked the way they shoot but not to confidant with the wasps..guess well shall see..
just a note we sighted in my freinds horton xs last week with field tips but he would not ,,no matter what i said shoot his thunderheads..was sure they shot just like the fied tips,,,well he shot over a doe this morning and is comming over to check his broadheads..lol moral? if you wont heed good advice from one of us humans the deer will get you back on track,,

I shoot an Equinox, G.T. Laser II's and Thunderhead 125's and they shoot the same as my field tips!! The only reason I tried them was I shot them in my compound and had them laying around.My Dad and buddy have the same set-up as mine ,shoot the thunderhead 125's and we all killed deer last year. Good luck!!
