Alum bolts for Vixen
My wife wants to use alum bolts in her Vixen and the question is which size would you recommend: 2213 or 2216 and would you cut them to 18" or leave them at 20"? Thanks for any info.
Either will work fine, the 2213 is faster, the 2216 is a little more durable.
The 20" length will protrude into the stirrup which can be a safety factor if you ever let the string down by hand. Hard to get your foot in danger when an arrow is loaded. I usually unload by shooting an arrow into the ground, so I don't worry if I need to shorten arrows to 18" to "fine tune" weight.
