When I bought Exocet 200 I went through 4 boxes of stock Excalibur GT II's and had consistency issues with almost 50 percent of them. I was lucky to get 3 bolts out of a box of 6 that would group within 1" 20 yards. Individually, each bolt would shoot bullet holes but as a group they sucked. I solved my problem by buying raw shafts and fletching my own. My set up now is GT II's, 2" blazer vanes and brass inserts. Think about it, why do you think Excal switched to the Easton bolts.
