Slick trick X=bow Trick

Post by Tennessee Rebel »

Any body use the x-bow trick? They now have a 150gr. version of it. I'm thinking about using them on Fire bolts with 2" Blazers with my Ibex. What would be best, 175gr or 150gr?

Fire Bolts seem to shoot well with 150gr up front. Try the 150gr X-Bow Trick.

The most accurate arrows I have tried use 175gr heads with helical blazers. Very consistant. That prompted me to choose between the 170 Foc or 175 slicktrick. Due to availability here I went with the FOC which has worked very well for me. Just pricey though!
I don't remember if firebolts have brass inserts, If they do you wouldn't want the extra weight of the 175 slick.

I recently picked up a pack of the 175's and they shot well for me on targets. I'm going to use them on my bear hunt this year but haven't hunted with them yet.

I was shooting G5 Montecs in 140 grain on Easton Powerflight 340 , these fell in line with the old Wasp camlocks which are 130 . Now I know I'll have to go out and try these Slick Tricks .....
Thanks Glen
GOOD LUCK AND PLAY SAFE !
