What arrow & weight

[smokepolehall]

Do you use for your hunting ?

i am using up the 2213 i had and have thinking of going heavier

[rickyp]

I am using 2216 and 2219 with an arow weight of 435 grs with Point.

I tried both the 2216 and 2219 using 100gr. expandable NAP Spitfires, 3 blades- the 2219 shoots the best with this expandable broadhead. Almost the same POI as my target practice arrows.
This is using a Horton SuperMag xbow.

Really depends on your set up ya know. I can no longer pull it due to shoulder problems but my bow is a PSE set to 82 pounds and I used 29.5" long 2315 arrows and Thunderhead 125s. My draw length is 28". Since leaving behind my old 65 pound pull bow and 2114 arrows I've not yet failed to get full pass thru.

I have been using 2216 in my Phoenix with good results.I bought some 2219's to try.

  Okay folks, forgive my ignorance but I really don't know which of these bolts came with my crossbow.  I have a Horton Yukon SL I bought a few years back and never used it.  I started hunting with a recurve forty years ago but had to give it up after two back surgeries.  I have a permit to use this crossbow now.  I just started thinking about extra days in the field so I picked it back up.  It is a 150# pull bow and I have some Carbon Strike bolts that are an unknown weight and some Easton XX75 2216's that look to be twenty inches long. Which of these are the better arrows and what grain weight should I use with this poundage of bow?  I know the grain weight is supposed to include a 100 grain head?  Any help is appreciated.

the carbons and 2216 will be close in weight if 20". which are the better is hard to say. i like both, what i about to say may get others up and posting. some but not all carbons have a tendency to splinter when hitting bones in animals. if it does it leaves those splinters in the surounding ares. not good for eating. alum don't splinter but will bend. i hunt with alum. arrows and shoot 3-Ds with my carbons

  I hadn't thought about the carbons splitting but I've seen them do that when they hit something hard.  I don't have a crossbow target, just a regular one and it's a cheapy.  The carbon bolt went through and into the wood on the smokehouse behind the target and they splintered.  That gets expensive real quick. Good advice on using the aluminum for hunting.  I'll follow that advice.  Thanks.

Hey all.  What I have found out that the
Horton MX 20"
20" Alum 100gr broadhead 432gr
20" Carb 100gr Broadhead 416gr
20" Alum 125gr broadhead 457gr
20" Carb 125gr broadhead 441gr

Easton  Aluminium XX75 Team Realtree 2219  20"
Im still running the numbers.

The Horton bolts all vary in weight (Almost a complete 1 gram not grain).
The Easton bolts all are exactly the same weight.

The Easton fly better and seam to group better also.

Now if I could just shoot better.
