M330 Question - What are the Shortest Bolts You Can Use

Post by drkeenan »

I dont think that will be a problem.
I shoot 16 inch out of mine same arrows as my micro they shoot great.
Just make sure you remove arrow before decocking.

I think you may be right at or maybe slightly below a safe limit... I usually shoot 17" Zombie Slayers but also have and shoot Full Metal Jackets cut to 16 1/2" in my 355 which has a slightly longer rail than your 330. They shoot just fine and are very accutate, while in the case of the FMJ's keeping the overall shaft weight near 400 gn. with a good broadhead.

If you do in fact choose to use these, (?) and find they allow your foot into the sturrip when set up with broadheads while loaded :shock: ? Be sure they are removed before unstringing the bow by hand. Better safe than sorry for sure. :wink:

As long as the total arrow weight isn't below the recommended weight and they fly true from your bow I think you should be good to go. :)

I keep my arrows long enough so that I cannot get my foot into the stirrup with an arrow loaded. I heard a couple horror stories when I first joined here and decided I would play it safe :mrgreen:

Yep, 17" in both the 330, and 355 Matrix. It's nice to have one arrow box in the truck! :wink:
