Repairing Damaged 18" Diablo Bolts
I have a Bulldog 440 and have torn off some of the vanes during target practice.
Can anyone tell me what the specifics are of factory Diablo 18" bolts.
I believe they have 2" Blazer vanes that are offset, but I don't know to what degree or how much.
What tool would you guys recommend I get, in order to fix my damaged bolts?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

EZ-fletch Bolt. But plan to replace all 3 vanes, as the EZ -fletch will put more helical that came from factory.

....I will let others chime in but, are the Diablo's 18" even the proper arra's to be shootin out of "The 440 Beast?"
...other than the above I aree with all that the others say...and yes you should change all three of the fletching....if I remember correctly the fletching on those arras come with "offset" and not "helical"....again I will let others chime in!

They do come with 18", which I personally believe is a little short for safety sake. But functionally fineamythntr wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 9:50 am....I will let others chime in but, are the Diablo's 18" even the proper arra's to be shootin out of "The 440 Beast?"

I believe you are correct regarding the offset, although, with the new BE arrows, I'm not 100% how they do it now. Regardless, they certainly aren't putting the 4°helical that the EZFletch Bolt uses. Which was my point to mention. great minds think alike

Are you shooting groups , hitting arrows ? If so check those arrows... bend and twist and listen for cracking.. Could be a disaster for you and the bow.

....I can't believe the "The Beast of Excalibur Present" comes with lighter spined 18 Inch Diablos.....I have been told by great minds on this forum that 18" are kind of short for "The Beast of Excalibur Past (A420TD"....I have stayed with the 18" I made...have only shot at the range and am happy with them...I am shooting the heavier spined Zombies however.janesy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 10:18 amThey do come with 18", which I personally believe is a little short for safety sake.

Re: Repairing Damaged 18" Diablo Bolts
I shot a A420TD a bunch with both. 17" BJ Zombie, and a 20" factory BE executioner and noticed zero concernable difference between the two. The 20" was considerably heavier and really rocked the target tho.amythntr wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 3:18 pm....I can't believe the "The Beast of Excalibur Present" comes with lighter spined 18 Inch Diablos.....I have been told by great minds on this forum that 18" are kind of short for "The Beast of Excalibur Past (A420TD"....I have stayed with the 18" I made...have only shot at the range and am happy with them...I am shooting the heavier spined Zombies however.janesy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 10:18 amThey do come with 18", which I personally believe is a little short for safety sake.

Re: Repairing Damaged 18" Diablo Bolts
Anthony the bolts that came with my 440 were the Proflight’s they are nice but they have the aluminum inserts too light for me I’m shooting the zombies out of it and it shoots great. I also have about 6 bolts to fix from my 440 also. EZ fletch works good I also have the Bohning crossbow tower jig and works good also.
