Micro,m355.vixen ,Phoenix ,lbex., m330, all share a factory zombie 110 grain lately l like an xact cut ,spitfire max.A cabellas lazer strike 2 and a dead ringer super freak extreme. on the m355 . 17 and 20 inch bolts . That's the beauty of the expandable head all basically fly the same with basically no change in impact makes tuning a bunch of bows a lot less stress

18 inch diablos with 150gr Magnus stingers (4 blades)

I have some 125gr black hornets on the way, I’m hoping the poi is the same as my stingers.

Matrix 380 with 18" BEE's and Blazer vanes. I've always shot the old Thunderhead 160gr 3 blades, 1 3/8" cut in my compounds and still have a good supply of new heads. Tried them and couldn't be more pleased, as accurate as my 150 gr field points to 60 yds.

....my recipe on my A360 is:

.....16.5 inch Zombies at 9g per inch = 148.5g,
.....92g inserts,
.....100g Spitfire w/ dental band,
.....Lumenok= 29g
.....Silent Knight 200 fletching at 6g per vane (I believe) = 18g (much better than Blazers IMHO)
.....approx 1g of glue

total yield= approx 388.50 g

I make my own arra's

I have just purchased a Micro Suppressor any suggestions on best bolt, broadhead and grain combo to use other than the Quill and Bolt Cutters? I am new the crossbow forum so be gentle. LoL.. I have hunted for years with my compound but this is like starting from scratch all over again.. I just ordered my quiver mount from Munchmounts. He has been very helpful and I am very greatful for his willingness to guide me in right direction. If anyone has any mods or beneficial info I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to utilize the forums experience! Thanks in advance!
My Micro Suppressor 355 likes 16.5 BEE's spine indexed to .001. Then a 110g brass insert goes in the nose piece. 2 inch Blazer vanes help steer the stick. Tail lights are Lumenoks. I then add my favorite 100g "pointy thing" to the front assembly and give them a fling!!
These shoot really well in my setup!
If you don't have a builder or make your own, try David @ Wyvern Creations if you're in the Lower 48.
