Also you cant straighten CARBON but EAston aluminum you can get damn near perfectly straight to .001" from end to end.... All crossbow makers want you to shoot the 2219.... they are the best for a $4 bolt and you can straigthen them and they fly nice with a slight helic on them if you do custom fletchings...
Save yrou money and shoot the XX75 or the XX78 shafts and any of the decent fletching will work well.. Run a Spitfire or a thunderhead 100gr... I shoot my horton @ 320fps and groups 2-3" groups at 40yds ALL day long.. so what more do you want and im not spending tons of money on it either.... You dont shoot past 40 yards anyways... Once bows go past 400fps then yes shoot game at 50yds, but until then, they will jump or move and you just shot your deer in the ass, the leg or some other stupid place.. JMO
Thanks for your post.
Ya i thought of doing that, i have about 12 XX75 shafts laying around and about 15 XX78 shafts. Used to use them for compound bows.
Might cut some of them down to 20" and fletch them up. For now i bought a 12 pack of easton razer bolts for 43bucks. I ordered them along with all my other stuff, isn't here yet, just had a bare bow, no string or anything, so i got a pretty big order coming in at the end of the month.
