light carbon.... add weight to increase FOC
Weight is good, but FOC is the key that makes the bolt. You can have a 350-380grain light bolt that outflies a 430grain bolt because of its FOC
I always hear theheavier bolts are quiet so thats why I like them. If someone buys a xbow to make it quiet then they are in the wrong market LOL[:'(] I have yet to hear a heavy arrow make a xbow quiet enough that it wont spook deer within 200 yards LOL
