Bolts that come in pkg deal

Post by James McLaughlin »

I bought a Matrix 330. It came with carbon Diablos and the material that was in the pkg recommended using their 150 gr boltcutter for a 500 grain total bolt. 350 gr arrows and 150 gr broadhead. Is this a little on the heavy side or not? The combination is accurate, just wondered about the weight as I am a convert from uprights where we tried to keep arrow weight ad light a possible. Thanks in advance.

I have used the diablos with 150gr bolt cutters and rage hypodermics excellent results with both. Pass through on 5 deer and a coyote with my 350se.

No not on the heavy side. I shoot a 330 myself.I started out with diablo and boltcutters.I switched to Wyvern's Custom 330 matrix arrows. As David would say straight arrows.I use a 100 gr. Wac Em crossbow 3 blade broadhead.Very happy with this setup on deer. Check out Wyvern's site and any questions email David.He gets back like it seems seconds lol He really knows this crossbow stuff. :thumbup:

Dominic, you are absolutely correct. I thought I remembered weighing them and they came in at 350...so I checked it again and it was 250 as you said. I'm getting old..got crs .
