Arrow Question

moeskeeter · 07-12-2007, 05:09 PM

I have a question that I need help with. I have a horton TR 175 crossbow that came with 20" lighting strike (7075-T9 2219) bolts.
Can I cut down my game getter (7074-T9 2219) arrows I have too 20" and re-fletch them? and does it matter witch end you cut off ?

yep; that will work.the shaft is same size all the way.if they already have the inserts for the heads to screw into,just leave them and cut the other end.refletch,renock and go for the bigun

you need to watch....if they were regular arrows for a vertical bow then. the nock end is often tapered and that's the end you need to cut off. good luck.

I concur with both of prior posts!

Another question: If I buy a arrow fletcher, which one should I get a right or left helical or straight fletch? Also, what degree offset?

Right = Left in the vert wold
and
Left = Right in the Vert world

Its up to you how you want to set up but dont go past 4 deg..so Ive been told...

This is what i am getting. jojan mono fletcher right hand with the bolt nock receiver with the helical. bowhunterssuperstore has the jig fer $34.95 or .99. The bolt nock receiver is about $8, i will get them both at same time.

You may wish to try an Arizona E-Z fletcher. Do not buy the one for carbons [blue] as it's for smaller diameter carbons than xbow uses. Get the one for alum even if you shoot carbons. I was advized by Danny Miller to get the rt hand helical [which is 8 degrees] and they shoot like darts. The AZ E-Z has a cap that goes on last to align the ends of the arms, so do not use instant set super glue. The gel types work fine. there is a 4 part video on this/these on Excal by Gary L if you want to take the time to find it.
