Difference Carbon Express Maxima Hunter KV & Maxima Hunter

Post by kenv50 »

Is there any difference between the Carbon Express Maxima Hunter KV & Maxima Hunter? I just purchased an Equinox with extra Firebolts. They seem to shoot fine with 100gr and 150gr field points. I purchased but have not tried the 150gr Boltcutter or 100gr X-Act BHs. I sent an email to Boo and he said he was using the Carbon Express Maxima Hunters (I don't know if they are the KV or other). I wanted to know if there are difference between the 2 bolts and if it is better for me to buy some of each and see for myself.

A little background, I started bow hunting in 1972 with a Bear Kodiak. Over the years I migrated to a compound bow. This year as I started practicing for bow season I discovered that a left shoulder injury made it impossible to smoothly draw and hold the compound for hunting. Well you can’t keep an old fart down so I purchased what I believe is the best bow on the market an Excalibur Equinox. I made it full circle to a recurve at 62.

Now I am hooked! Can't understand why I did not get a crossbow years ago. Perhaps I was surrounded by bad longbow company (joke).

I have spent the last week glued to the Excalibur forum and have one comment. This is the most courteous and most informative forum I have been on. Between photography, target shooting, and reloading I have been on a ton of forums.

The arrows that Excalibur sells are C2 Carbon made by Easton. They are good tough arrows. The Carbon Express Maxima Hunters (not Kvs) are probably twice the price. I started using them because they are far more tough than Gold Tips and have a built in weight forward construction. Considering what speeds we do with out Excaliburs I think that you do not need the Kvs. I used the Kvs on my 165 Scorpyd.
