Well welcome to the forum! I don't have a Excal but there is a good group of guys on here that should chime in and help ya out. Most of them I think started with the Phoenix then upgraded to the Exocet only to realize they liked the Phoenix better if I remember there post right. They also shoot Gold tips for bolts but not 100% sure on that. You should have good info from them by the end of tomorrow so hold tight and they will be in soon!
