20" Zombie Slayer's, 92 grains in the snout, approximately 400 grains. Add lighted nocks, 418ish. This is 100 grain heads.

For that I'd shoot 20" Executioners, 110gr inserts, 2" Trueflight feathers and plastic nocks. But Igniters would be fine as well. Be around 400 with 100gr heads, and 425 with 125s. Add about 30 grs to each if you go to Igniters.

Anthony, I'm a big fan of Fusion Q2i 2.1" vanes. You can get them in two heights. >55" which is close to the Blazer Vanes, or .44" which really work great with the Bolt Jig. The lower profile gives a bit more clearance to the rail, and with mechanical heads, very accurate. I also tested them out to 50 yards with the Muzzy Fixed heads, excellent!

....Ok, I am contemplating a change of pace in a scope, from a tried and true Leupold Crossbones to a Hawke XB 3×32 SR...I like the illumination and the cost....as quite frankly this purchase ( due to hanging around with the wrong people in Baaaaaaaddd places :| ) has pushed me over the top :shock: .....I like the cost factor and the fact that it is designed for the "more mature and well aged" products in the Excalibur arsenal that are more of a long distance runner versus a 50yd sprinter....

.....sooooo, whacha'll think of the contemplation?....am I barking up the wrong tree or does it meet with approval a said wrong people from those Baaaaaaaddd places? :shock: :shock: :? :?

Sorry Brother, I didn't see this. Personally I cannot talk about the XB 3x32 as I have not even seen it. Now here's where I can talk from experience. I personally was looking at the XB1 SR. I asked a valued member on here (bubba) who had personal experience with both the XB1 SR and the XB30 Pro SR. He told me that for the little extra cash to most certainly go with the XB30 Pro SR as it had better low light illumination. I did so and paid $225 for it and haven't looked back.

Hawke has the XB 3x32 listed for $159, of course you can get it cheaper somewhere else like Wyvern's, but still for the extra $100 I might think about bumping it up to the XB 30. We've talked, I trust 100% your opinion. In this case, at least go to your nearest Hawke dealer and look through them.
