Default RE: Crossbow bolts

The Horton aluminum bolts that came with my CB shot ok. Then I switched to the Horton Carbon Strike MX. At anything past 20yrds the carbons raised my POI quite a bit. (i.e. they didn't drop as fast).
They only weigh about 16gr less but have a flatter tradjectory. This is what I am going to use.Carbon Strike MX with 100gr. NAP Spitfires. The Spitfires fly exactly like the 100gr. field points. At least they do with the practice blades. So I assume they will with the hunting blades. I will shoot one with the hunting blades just make sure. I bought two packs, one for practice & one for hunting. That way I will always have practice tips and I can used the extra blades for replacements. This should last me a fewyears.(unless I lose some). I am going to save up for an Excal Exomax. I like the Horton but I don't like the maintenance it is going to require. (having to need a bow press). I'll probably sell the Horton to my buddy after deer season. I'm also going to get a T/C pistol eventually.
