The XAct Broadhead

Post by kill-m »

Hey guys...question please and a real dumb one too, but are those Excal XAct broadheads already put together when you purchase them? My buddy called and said the instructions on them were very confusing but the heads look to be ready to go?
Thanks in advance for your help and Jim will certainly appreciate it also.

Yup they're put together & shouldn't be hard to put on arrows

Thanks! I just called my buddy and told him. He is relieved and ready to hunt with his new Excal.

It is very easy to change the blades on the X-Act broad heads. Just follow the directions.

These are great flying heads. I like the diameter of the cut, I like how they are deployed. What needs improvement is where the clips go through the aluminum part of the head to hold the blades in place. The alum is thin and 2 out of three heads I used are wrecked from impact with a rib. If they beef it up in that area they would have a Broadhead that is reusable with just a blade swap.

I have purchased the XACT Mechanical broad heads for my Excalibur Vortex and I would like confirmation. These 100 grain mechanicals are supposed to fly as accurately as the 150 grain field tips right?

When you change the weight of the broadhead or field tip you've changed the dynamics of arrow flight so the answer is your POI will have changed a minor amount at short distances and your consistency may have changed.

These broadheads are made by sullivan industries im pretty sure just rebranded for excal. Ive used them and they fly great with a big cutting diameter when they open. I use them on a heavy foc arrow as you can only get them in 100grain. I think a total weight of 420 odd is good.

I use em, the POI is the same as my field tips, but the head was wrecked after shooting my deer(hit bone) I will use them again next year.

I also used the 100 gr XAct mechanical and satisfied so far ....but I am brand new to crossbow hunting this fall so take my opinion lightly. I was a bit concerned if the POI would be the same as the 100 grain field points, but my first (and only) shot at a buck was spot on. I was actually hoping to get a smaller size deer first to see how everything would work out, but as luck would have it my first broadside shot with the Excalibur Matrix brought down a 10 pointer who was easily over 200 lbs, so sticking with the XAct!

Thanks guys for your help. Will try them out! A friend suggested I try some 100 grain field points too to see if there is a difference.
