Default girl in need

I just recently bought a ten point Titan TL-7crossbow, but Im not sure what kind of bolts I should buy? On my regular bow I shoot with blazers, and I love it. Im not really wanting to go back to four inch vanes....is it possible to shoot with blazers on a crossbow. Also what is the best brand. I like gold tip but again Im not sure if that is good for a crossbow. Any advice would be great....Thank you!

Once an arrow leaves a bow, be it a crossbow or compound it will fly the same, the arrow doesn't care where it came from, it just falls prey to many rules of physics, like any other arrow.
We happen to have a 10-point guy here that will straighten you right out on the arrow size, and many more who probably know, sit tight. Did the guy/gal you bought it off of not give you that vital information? The 10-point website will also provide some insight I bet..
Enjoy your crossbow, shoot safe and aim true.

Ten points use Gold Tip II arrows. I use the four inch also and they work great out of my Excal and I love them. I recently bought a couple fletching jigs and have been using the 2" Nap quick spin vanes and like them alot also. I have not done a bunch of shooting but so far they work great. Randy should chime in soon and give you some info directly from Ten Point.

All the TenPoint bows wil shoot 20 inch shafts that need to be 22/64 diameter. The aluminum 2219s work great as do the carbon shafts. The trick with carbons is that they need to weigh at least 420 grains for the total arrow weight and have to be the 22/64 diameter.
Blazer will work just fine, as will a standard 4 inch fletch. I think you will find that they shot very much the same.
TenPoint has used Goldtip for the past couple years, but we are switching to Easton carbons right now.
Thanks,
Randy

Randy, I here some people say that Gold Tip's arrows are slipping a little. Heard they are making them out of the country now and quality is not as good. Is this true and have you guys seen quality problems?

Hotburn,
What you expect out of our products is whatwe expect fromthe other manufacturers products that we use. How you expect us to do business is how we expect other companies who work with us to do business.

As a rep of Ten Point are you trying to be politically correct with that answer? LOL!! I think I read the message on that one! Which arrows from easton will you be using? There current CB set up or another one from them?

I'll translate that for ya'll, lol. 10 pts arrow specs for GT's are GT's specs for all their arrows in that group, but lately GT's quality control is in the crapper, and 10 pt ain't having that. Excal bailed on GT's also. Tickles the bad gas outta me, that's what GT gets for taking their production to Mexico. VIVA LA GT!!!! No Hable junk!! Hasta Luego, Senior Bent Shaft, lol.

Now, we need to know which company gave them the boot first, lol
