Re: Accurate?

Maybe try 4" offset vanes on the firebolts. All I know is out of the last box I bought 5 fly the same and one hits a little left both with 100gr field tips or broadheads after being resighted for either.

Thanks Bob for working that out for me. From what I'm reading here and Excal now making 150gr broadheads I'm wondering if I'll be better off going to 125's or maybe even 150's?

If I may ask what kind of FOC would I be getting with the Firebolts 4" fletch and 100gr broadheads? Standard Excal bolts you buy off the shelf.

4" or 5" vanes for carbon?

Hi Folks, just picked up a new Phoenix package this year and although I'm impressed with the performance I want to go to carbon bolts for next season. I see the Excalibur ones in the store are Easton shafts and come in either 4 or 5 inch vanes. My question is which do you think will fly best with br...
