broadheads for newbe
Just got an Excalibur phoenix and wondering if I can just use my broadheads from my compound, or should I get something different? I have quite a few magnuus stinger COC 4 blade in 125 grain. I will be shooting the Excalibur 20 in. carbon bolts. Thanks!

Give em a try. I shoot a 100 gr low profile 4 headed blade in my Phoenix: Slick Trick mag, using GT Lazer II, 110 gr brass insert and Blazers. Weigh 405 gr, +18% FOC. Fly great and terminal performance to boot.

They might fly well. A buddy of mine uses the 100 gr in his Exomax with good accuracy. You might also consider the G5 Strikers. I my bows they are stupid accurate.

I shoot 100gr Wac'Em Exit broadheads from my Excalibur Phoenix (mounted on 18.5" 2215 aluminum arrows w/blazer vanes & alum inserts).
Same POI as field points and 100% recovery rates on well hit deer so far (8 or 10 deer, I haven't kept careful count and I did loose one due to a scope failure and a very poor hit). It isn't the broadhead brand name that makes it work! It's the accuracy (which makes good shot placement possible) and sharpness of the blades that makes successful shots possible! All you need to do is confirm the accuracy potential at the shooting bench, then keep the blades sharp. Accuracy can be affected by so many variables it's impossible to make a recommendation with any certainty. Whatever broadhead you choose should be tested at the bench before hunting with it! |
Thanks guys, that is what I thought, I will give them a try and see.

Been a member here for quite some time, but seldom drop in on the crossbow forum. With the way the Excalibur forum is going lately you may see more of my posts here. :wink:

I found that my mechanical NAP Spitfires shot pretty close to my field tips without having to be "tuned." I'd assume most quality mechanical heads are the same in that regard.
Plus the damage and the quick-kill this head did on a doe this fall really convinced me as well. I only use mechanicals with my crossbow now. |
