Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Crossbow Broadheads?

I picked up an Excalibur Micro Axe last month. The bolts came with 100 gr tips so I bought some Boltcutter 100 gr broadheads since I used the 150 gr version with my Axiom SP. The Boltcutters shoot 3-4" low so I tried some Laser Strike mechanicals I picked up at Cabela's. They're 2-3" low and right. Before I try another brand I figured I'd ask what you guys are using that are shooting are the same speed - 340 fps.

Slick Trick 100 grain "Crossbow" Broadheads

Boltcutter 150s at 325-ish.

What are you guys shooting them out of?

Steel Force 100 gr. out of a Parker Buckbuster.

Something cut-on-contact and sharp. I use Muzzy 125s.

In my 340 Axe I use Excalibur Quills but change the front insert to a 110 grain brass. I shoot 125 grain Montec fixed blades. I think the heavier setup is a bit quieter and easier on the limbs. I haven't chronographed it and don't really care what the actual speed is. Have shot 2 deer with that setup and both zipped on through and disappeared to parts unknown. I just bought some Rage 125 grain Hypodermics but haven't tried them out yet.

Excalibur Micro 360 takedown

Excalibur Bulldog Matrix 380.

That is an entrance wound, BTW. It was still bubbling when I found the deer.

Thanks. Think I'm going up to a 125 gr head. Probably Slick Trick

100 gr Rage 2+ out of a Wicked Ridge Invader. If I run out, I've got a few 100 gr Muzzys laying around that are still good.

Got the 125 gr Slick Trick Crossbow heads today. My first 2 shots were within 1/2" of my field points at 20 & 30 yards. About an inch off at 40 yards. I'm calling that good

Yes, they fly very well. 125 grain Scorpyd Death Stalker 420.

About 2 years ago I switched to crossbow from verticle compound. I bought the excaliber matrix 355 and bought excaliber arrows and broadheads. They were ok but then started to play with different products. As most of you probably know , this can get expensive. To resell your old product you dont recoup much of your money. Anyways I settled on 18" Zombie Slayers with a 110gr insert and an18 gr aluminum flat nock. Broadheads are Ramcat 125gr. This set up shoots 1" groups at 20-30-40yards. I had to play with the speed ring on the scope for a bit but is on the money now. Will stay untill a new review on a better product comes along.

definitely go with a heavier head and or arrow inserts

Excalibur 400 Assasin and 100gr Slick Trick @380 fps

Seems to be the consensus on some Excalibur forums to go with a heavier setup with the new micro sized bows. Quite a few limb failures are being attributed to light weight bolt/broadhead setups.

i use 100 gr. muzzy 3 blade. get great blood trails and dead critters

I’d have to agree - the one set of limbs I have broken / cracked (Carbon Express Xbox) was from a string jumping a nock.

The heavier bolts keep the noise down in my Micro.

tmitch - How are you changing out the insert? I didn’t have much success in pulling the factory ones?

I slowly apply heat, be careful not to get too hot and pull out factory insert with needle nose.
