I can recommend at least ten different Arrows that would be perfect for your Vortex!
I will be starting to make Arrows for Crossbows and Compounds again very shortly.
Within a few weeks. :wink: If you can wait ,that will work fine, if not, try Crazyfarmer for some Custom ones.

Don't know of anyone making crossbow bolts. Excalibur and TenPoint make very good arrows.

John or Crazy farmer make very good arrows by their customers reports . :)
What I use is 2216`s with blazers offset a smiggen . Really don`t measure the angle .
They are pushing a 100 grain X-ACT broadhead .
I have used 2219 , 2117 with success as well with fixed and expandables .
While I don`t presently own a Vortex . I do use lesser poundage and greater poundage bows . :)
