Carbon Bolts

Which Carbon Bolt is preferred by most hunters? (Straightness and Flight)

I have a Parker Terminator Crossbow which came with Parker's Brand of bolts...they are stamped "Super Carbon" "Magnum Bolt" I get some to fly well, but out of a dozen maybe 4-5 do not hit with the others. I fletch my own vanes and have a dial indicator arrow roller for checking tolerances. Some bolts seem to have more wobble than others.... Is this common with all arrows? To have a few that won't fly like the others?

I am looking for the straightest bolts on the market with good straightness tolerances. I use a half moon nock.

Thanks, Dave

I use both Gold Tip Laser lls for my Vixens and Beman Thunderbolts for my Paradoxs. I use the heavier Bemans as the Paradox needs at least 410 gr bolt and BH. And I use a light 325 gr bolt at 18" for the Vixens.

I just sighted in my Paradox today with Bemans and Gold Tips that are weighted with brass inserts.Either one at 20 or 30 yards is right on.I do find the Gold Tips to place the same on the bulls eye more then the Bemans thou.
