Arrows

Re: Lighted nocks

Thanks for all the comments, I like the feedback from people that have used these items with an excalibur crossbow. Much better than random internet reviews (or company sponsored/produced videos that miraculously show their product as the best ever).

Re: Mechanical head premature opening test (Graphic heavy)

Once again, thanks for all of your testing. I would send you a swacker, but PA just shut all non life sustaining businesses for 14 days (so far) and I'm hoarding my last 3 heads (I was going to try the new excal. ones this year) in case I need to use on the neighborhood deer.

Great test, any chance you could try 150 grain swackers or the new 150 excalibur is pimping?
