Arrows
What are the best arrows for my Excalibur? I currently use the excalibur fire bolts (4 inch veins) but was wondering if a better, reasonably priced, arrow exists?
Thx. Mino

I have 3 dozen of the excal arrows that I have striped of the stock fletching and replaced with Bohnong 2 inch fletching
they make a good arrow made by Easton but I believe they can be improved upon

Firebolts are all I've ever used.

Re: Arrows
The biggest improvements to the arrows accuracy will come from more offset in fletching and or more FOC (brass front insert). Both act to guide the arrow better and both act to compensate for inconsistencies in your arrow shaft.stoneycreekhunter wrote:Boo wrote: Define better. There is an amazing number of choices.

I like the Carbon Express Maxima Hunters. Some like the Gold Tip Pros. The best just might come from aluminum arrows.
Either way use Bohning Blazers.

Re: Arrows
These arrows come to mind when somebody asks about a better arrow. I plan on getting some soon. They are pricey though, they want $75.00 for a half dozen.

Re: Arrows
I'm not married to them but. The accuspine arrows from camx are some good ones. I bought shafts and fletched them with aae max hunters with a good helical. I also because of the cost added more cost and went with fire nocks. They make finding shot arrows a lot simpler. I have shot these arrows out of a Ibex and y25. They are the stiffest arrow I know of and are spine tested and marked. Like I said not cheep but they shoot good. Yea I found some fire nock In the classifieds for $35 for 3 and 3 practice nocks. That helped to keep the cost down.

Re: Arrows
Think you likely have about the best now. Unless you are going for world championship crossbow target shooting it ain't going to make much difference. To gain a 1/4 or 1/2 inch for hunting, what more is it going to get you?stoneycreekhunter wrote:What are the best arrows for my Excalibur?

Re: Arrows
I've read a lot of great things about these arrows some people have said they can shoot 1 inch groups with these arrows out to 40 yards. I need to try some also.joe171 wrote:X` 2 didn`t like the victory Voo Do trythe Accuspine arrows you wont regret itNEPAbowhunter wrote:These arrows come to mind when somebody asks about a better arrow.

Re: Arrows
Arrow selection is just as bad as reloading. I've spent alot of time looking for the perfect reload and arrow/bolt. I have to say it has been alot of fun but what it really comes down to is when you make the shot on game and not a target are you going to make a good hit or are you hoping for a good hit. It never hurts to improve so try several bolts until you find one that suits your fancy.
