This is my first custom made bolt. I sure hope at least one out of the six will fly good.
18" Gold Tip Laser II (brass insert)
2" Bohning Blazer Broadhead vanes
85 grain Montec G5

Looks good PRB

Thanks. I'll give an update on performance later.
Just did a FOC and with the 85 grain head = 14.2%
and with the 125 grain head= 16.8%
I'll try both. If the 125 grain performs as well as the 85 I might just go with it. Who knows

theyll probably be close.

PRB,
Looks good!

What's it weigh, and from what are you shooting it?

Thanks. This is kinda fun and becoming a little easier because of that practice thing

This is my last bolt done in white vanes.

Hi yall, Been browsing these pages for awhile No way do I have the experience you guys do but... To make alongf story short I got a dozewn arrows from D. Miller in Sardis, Oh. Not what came w/ "Right Stuff" but rather LII's w/ brass inserts and advice to use SLICK TRICKS. I did so reluctantly, because I thought the stuff that came w/ bow was the best. and thesae only had 4" fletch. Tried them @ 30 yds., and to my delighted amazement, I could shoot a FT, retrieve it, install 100gr. ST and one of the four blades touched the hole the FT made, I've got a well chewed up "Block" target, w/ [9] 2" circles painted on back, almost all are "in there" Just wanted to share....Awshucks [Exomax]

Thats great awshucks. Dan Miller is a great guy. Those Slick Tricks are awesome. Sounds like you have the perfect setup

PRB have ya got the manual on that blitz yet?

PRB · Post by **PRB** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:12 am

Yes I sure did. I will try and scan them on the copier and then email them to you if you. I talked to Bernie friday from Bitzenburger and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained a few thing to me and gave a couple of tips...great guy.
I just noticed on the back of the literature there is 8 different nock receivers. I wonder if I have the right one for my straight clamp ? I might just go ahead and get the crossbow receiver nock because I noticed my rigged up nock might not be correctly aligned
