Firebolts versus Goldtip 2's

Post by mchurch »

It seems like to me that my groups are quite a bit tighter with the firebolts with 150 grain tip than with the Goldtip laser 2's with brass inserts and 100 grain field point. I did testing from 20-50 yards. I use an Excal Equinox. Has anyone else noticed this? The firebolts are quite a bit stiffer. I wonder if this has something to do with it?

I'm far from an arrow expert...but i have used three brands of arrows out of my two x-bows...carbon pro-elite,goldtip's and firebolts. Got my best groups by far out of the firebolts!

Equinox and firebolts tipped with 150 grains is a deadly accurate combo.

well at this time i would say the firebolts shot better then the Goldtip laser 2s at 35 to 50 yards with 125 grain tips :shock:
think i may try 150 grain tips on Goldtip laser 2s see how they fly

From my equinox I find both are equally accurate out too 50 yds if you sort out the best shooting ones from a dozen.try shooting the same arrow over and over . One gt11 and one firebolt.you will be amazed at how small the grouping is .then do the same with each arrow.then sort out the ones that shoot good groups with the same poi.then shoot your groups and I think they will both shoot great.
