Bolt question.....

Post by ccamp200 »

Hi guys

Hope all is well. Needed some more arrows this year and ordered 20" zombies. It appears I've been shooting 18s so far. My bow is a Matrix 380. Does it matter or should I send them back for 18s?

They'll stick out past the stirrup a little. If you can live with that, they'll shoot fine.

They will work but the 380's preferred choice for accuracy is 18"

If you can trade them in I would do so. With broadheads on the 20" arrows will be way out past your stirrup. If you hunt out of a blind any they will hit the ground every time you set the bow down. If you are stand hunting only it probably will not matter.
