I have some Beman Thunderbolts, and I get best results on target using Nap Thunderhead 100's with them. Never actually killed anything with that setup yet though.

The beeman Thunderbolts weight very close to the same as a 2216 aluminum shaft.

Famer is right they do wieght close to the 2216. I have used them for the 3-4 years and they work great. I had them set up with a Nap Spitfire 100gr comeing off my Exomag and never had a problem, I have taken 5 deer with this setup, including one spine shot (my fault miss jugde distance) and one qaurtering away shot that lodged in the oppistie shoulder. The rest were complete pass throughs.
