Re: OT- Looking for Info on Ibeam

Re: Excalibur Quill

The new Micro comes with 4 quills at 16.5", I cut mine down to 15.5" as I didn't want my broadhead sticking out past the stirrup. I know some have gone shorter to 15, personal preference. I have tested mine out to 30 yards and it is dead on, haven't tested an longer yardages due to weather...

Re: 18" diablos from micro 335??

If you use a longer bolt or quill it will stick out past the stirrup, which can snag onto anything it comes in contact with.
