OK , I went to BP last night and bought the 150gn Boltcutters. Today I decided to try them and used both 2216 aluminum arrows and the fire bolts. It seems to me that the firebolts had a touch more penetration into the target on every test shot.
Are these firebolts close to the same weight as the aluminum arrows ?
Arrow weights ?

Re: Arrow weights ?
Thanks but forget about it. I'll test them on deer in the late season if I get the chance. Bear hunting is done and out of 10 baits not one hit this week. I would say as I have before, I believe hibernation starts at this time of year and they are starting to thin out...

I suspect it may also be a little warm

Re: Arrow weights ?
Adrian, The alum should be heavier than the fire bolt unless the fire bolt has a brass insert which I doubt,
