I have some GT 22 Ultra Lites from compound days can they be safely used in Excal xbows?

My guess is no. If I'm correct, they could be dangerous.

Is this due to their being lighter?

If you mean GT "Ultralight" 22 series shafts, the answer is yes. It's essentially the same shaft as the Laser II. All the 22 series components fit the Laser II and vice versa. I got a bunch of 22 series shafts for free last year and cut them down to 18" and 20" and have been shooting them with no problems. 22 Series shafts spine out at .300 at 30" and Laser II's spine out at .200 at 22" and 20", so you can see where this is going. Weight in grs./per inch is the same, OD and ID is the same, it's basically the same shaft. You can find them pretty inexpensively when an archer cuts them down too short, and such.

Hope this helps
Joe

Thanks, Joe, shows how much I know, lol. I'd read a lot that shafts suited/common to compounds were too light.

Sorry for the misinfo. figure better safe than sorry.
