Hi people, yes I'm new on here and to the world of crossbows, I shoot compound normally but want to take up the crossbow during the late archery season here in Indiana
Icurrently shoot the new 2008 Barnett Revolution AVI, 160lbs.,345fps. w/100gr. slick tricks
I was wondering about broadhead weight on my bolts if I add a homemade lighted nock. heres what ive came up with for bolt weight...
Easton carbon power bolt @ 22" = 231gr.
moon nock = 12gr.
aluminum insert = 43gr.
light insert = 20gr.
duravanes 4" x 3 = 24gr.
This comes out to 330gr. + 100gr BH = 430gr.
or 330gr. = 125gr. = 455gr.
should I shoot a heavier bh due to adding more weight on the back of shaft?

PS. yes this CB is quite by CB standards.
(shot a few kinds and read the reviews)

Any ideas as to what your FOC is?

Thats the question. The only other factor to consider is that threre are more broadheads available in 100g than 125g.

i like to use 125 grain shockwaves or vortex heads with fresh deer blood on em
i shoot a darton impact that also uses 22 inch arrows in the 485 grain range
with the heads on rated at 343 for a 475 grain so i should be around 340
i thunk!!!!!
