been thinking about switching to carbon this year. i would like to stick with shaft size 2219. so what do you guys and gal use in the carbon stuff? the broad head i will still hope to use is muzzy 125gr. thanks rob.

I believe that the Beman Thunderbolt might fit the bill for you.

I'm not sure what the weights of the various carbons are

I use Beman Thunderbolts, but I think they are similar to the 2216's and if you want to stay closer to your 2219's the thunderbolts may not be what you are looking for

Good luck

I switched to GoldTips which are 22/64 diameter but weigh about 250 grains fletched. With 100 grain tips that keeps you close to minimum, and I'm getting 310 fps out of the Exocet with them. I like them because they stay straight or break (or get lost

).

Beman will work, and also the carbon express bolts will bring you real close too the weight of a 2219 and are the same in Dia.
I shoot GTexcalibur carbons, they smoke.
HAVE FUN, AND SHOOT OFTEN AND STRAIGHT
