In practice I don’t believe it makes much or even any difference, and that’s after having read related reports and tests. In reality, I wouldn’t base my choice of best bolt on this. The argument is that straight vanes will fly faster with less drag, while offset and helical designs will improve bolt centricity and stability in flight. There are three vane shapes: straight, offset and helical. A single vane might weigh in anywhere from 5-10 grains, so that’d be 15 grains between three vanes. The vanes or fletching are the traditional ‘feathers’ at the back of the bolt. Let’s take a look at what they tweak: Vanes/Fletching For a bolt to be as accurate as possible it needs three things: weight at the front, perfect rotation of the shaft, and drag from the rear.īolt manufacturers are well aware of this, and constantly tweak their arrows to find the best balance and consistency. Best crossbow bolts: understanding your boltĪ good bolt is a consistently accurate bolt.
Grouped Together Technology is employed to match the spines of every dozen crossbow bolts, resulting inconsistency.If you’re interested in reading about the best crossbow broadheads click here. This maximizes the arrow’s accuracy during its trajectory, without loss of speed or kinetic energy, resulting in a deadly output from your crossbow. They feature Executioner brass inserts that give an overall weight for ideal forward of center (FOC). These crested carbon arrows are built for speed, kinetic energy, and accuracy. Black Eagle Executioner Crossbow Fletched Carbon Arrows/Bolts Reviewīlack Eagle’s Executioner arrows do indeed live up to their name. Each bolt is laser sorted to make sure that it is straight and consistent with each shot. Built-In Weight Forward™ technology is employed to give super down-range accuracy when using a broadhead. The front shaft section has BuffTuff® used on it, and the bolts feature Mossy Oak Brush pattern. Also included is a nock collar that acts as a protector for the shaft against nock-end impacts. The LAUNCHPAD™ Precision Nocks result in enhanced shaft alignment, controlled arrow release, and more consistent accuracy. 6 universal flat nocks, inserted moon nocks and standard 4-inch vanes are all part of the package with these bolts. The Crossbolt’s composite material retains its durability on impact, resulting in both reliability and consistency. These Carbon Express arrows will provide you with the best penetration since they’re made from heavier carbon that results in the most kinetic energy, possibly at bone crushing levels! The advanced methods used in these surprisingly cheap carbon arrows’ construction yield superior accuracy because of the consistency of the spine, and also the more powerful knockdown. Here are a couple of the best carbon arrows for compound crossbows that you might want to take a look at: Carbon Express PileDriver Fletched Carbon Crossbolt Review
Using heavier arrows than is recommended doesn’t carry any risk with it, but do bear in mind that it will bring down the FPS (velocity) output of your compound crossbow.Broadheads you’ll probably have to buy on your own.
The majority of crossbow packages will come only with bolts that have target practice field points.Using heavier ones isn’t an issue, but lighter ones essentially mean that you’re dry-firing your crossbow, which will render its warranty void, lead to it malfunctioning, and cause you possible injury. Do not ever use arrow heads and arrow shafts lighter than your manufacturer’s recommended limit.Ensure that you use broadheads and field points of identical weight and that this weight is precisely the same as that of the heads you got with bolts that came with your crossbow.Before you settle for a particular crossbow bolt brand, here are some things to always bear in mind:
