Zombie Slayers......worth it???

[Robinsons Rebel]

New to crossbow but I have read alot of posts on the forum. I've seen that alot of people are using Zombie bolts.Are they really worth it and make that much of a difference?I'm using a stock Grizzly and just looking for any advatage I can.So many questions and so little time !

I was a die hard easton 2216/2219 arrow user n refused to go carbon but i shot a few zombies out of my matrix bows (17 inch with a 110 brass insert and a 125 grain head) at 30 n 40 yards n over theres no comparison. from the factory they have blazer vanes in my opinion why if you have the best crossbow why not have the best bolts.the executioners are really good to but for a few bucks more you can have the best. I buy mine from amazon or lancaster archery and big john on the forum and south shore in florida are all good too.i have a cutter n cut my own down to 17 in.Its extreme but i even shoot em outta my vixen others will chime in about their experience wit em too.

I'm very happy with my zombies and will shoot them until something else can show me superior performance.

In my opinion, oh definitely!! I get mine from big John, he makes the best arrows!! And a heck of a nice guy to boot!!

your shooting a Grizzly so it will probably shoot just about anything fine. i dont think you need Zombies but if you got money to burn have a look at Black Eagles also. the Zombies look cool though.

I didn't realize you're shooting a grizzly. I would save a few bucks and go with the executioners.

....Yes on the Zombies....I also craft my own arra's gives me a lot of flexibility on weight, length, etc...

...if you want completed ZS craftsman have been named....If you are looking for raw shafts... I have also purchased from Dan (Xcaliber) and have found him very reasonable and honest!

....I believe Black Eagle Archery makes the ZS's!

I wholeheartedly Agree!
Except I call them arrows as opposed to "bolts"

I constantly shoot out to 100 yards and every distance in-between. The difference the Zombies (as crafted by Big John - fitted with Luminoks and built especially for my bow / style of shooting) are without any doubt, THE Most Accurate Long Range Missiles I've ever flung from a bow! Even at ranges from 70 through 100 yards you simply do not shoot at the same bullseye for fear of creating a Robin Hood situation!

As other have noted, the Grizzly is a little more "forgiving" in this department, so you might be fine with the Executioners. For me & my 380, it's Big John Custom Zombies every time!
