Question on bolts

The local hardware store has Gold Tip Lazer-2 Graphite bolts for $48 a dozen. These have aluminum flat nocts and front insert with 5 inch vanes and the shaft is 20" long. Will this be a good bolt for my new Exocet 200. Thanks all

the inserts are aluminum. Why will this be a problem? Thanks for your heup on this

its gonna depend on if they are the old arrows or the new stock.. The old series gold tips weighed 350 with a 100grain tip. The newer ones weigh about 320 with a 100 grain tip which is below the 350min for these bows.

Will they work, yes... would they be ideal and safe, its your call:)

48bucks for 12 fletched is a cheap price.. normally they are 40bucks per 6

I think they are old stock they are in a Excalibur 72 count box. They said they have had then awhile and what to move them. Going back to see if I can find out any more info

I still have about a half dozen of those I shoot out of my Exomax. That's a good deal . . .I'd buy them. Of course, I shoot an expandable broadhead.

If you don't owen the stuff to reweight the arrows for better FOC let me know . I can add some weight to the front and put some 3" fletching on them for you.
I'm sure that there are others here that would help out as well.

It's a god buy at thae price. I got these the first time I bought arrow, still shoot some. Just remember not to mix them with your other GT's as they will be heavier and hit to a different point of impact. They had me scratching my head.....until I weighed them.

I had as much as 40grains difference in weight between the old and new.. thats why I had to stop putting aluminun inserts in since the newer shafts dont meet the min weight specs
