[QUOTE="Forvols, post: 4625966, member: 15124"] Recommend you do some research see what the manufacturer recommends for bolt and head total weight. You could weigh the ones you have now see what they are at. If by manufacturer specs your crossbow shoots a 350gr bolt with 125gr fieldpoint at 350fts..that gives you a starting point to keep same speed same weight for bolt and head. You need the total weigh of both bolt/arrow and head (whether field point or broadhead). My 20in bolts/arrows with 125gr broadheads for my Excalibur M355 weight 405grs. Im getting about 344-348fps out of my factory rated 355fps crossbow. As far as type of broadhead--- there are a butt load, like fishing lures..I go with slick tricks 125gr. tough big cut [/QUOTE]
