my first crossbow should be turning up in the post sometime in the next week. and have many questions. what is the difference from a excalibur firebolt and a excalibur gold tip laser 22? cheers.

Nothing that you are going to notice, the Firebolts have a slight sheen to them, and use better glue on the inserts.
There is a small weight difference too, but if you only have one brand you will never notice.
Enjoy your bow!

Welcome to the forum my friend.
As long as you stick with one brand you will be fine.
Take a marker and number your arrows,it will make identifying and problem arrows easyier.
Not unusual to look in my 3 arrow quiver and see numbers 1,5 &11
Because they shoot GOOD

Both are carbon arrows both are made by diff companys & both have diff weight. They're diff but both are very good arrow products. Welcome to forum keep the ?'s coming

There is a little more grimance just under the left eye of the deer when hit by a Firebolt as opposed to the GT. Other than that, they are almost identical.

Welcome to the forum!

I agree with the others . . .there is very little difference. Just to be politically correct, stick with one or the other. You might get grief if you show up at the hunting lease carrying more than one brand of arrow.

I have to disagree with Sumner. Having multiple types of arrows Made from varying material from multiple vendors is a life enrichening experience. Arrows are not like women: they don't care if you mess around with other arrows.

Welcome to the forum, you will find that there is plenty knowledge on here,and a lot of good people. I have Fire bolts, and they shoot very well, and are very strong. Haven't tried any thing else, as I am new myself.
