Should tell you what they recommend- I had an Exomax, the website was a good source of data on it, even though that model was long discontinued.

In doing a little digging on AT, and a couple of reviews, it looks like the Firebolts shipped with the Ibex were 150 grain fieldpojnts, FWIW.

Generally - IME - fixed blades are less of an issue than mechanical- but as noted above, they can plane pretty bad.

If you go mechanical, the BH model needs to be rated for the shock of a crossbow firing, or the blades can/will deploy. I like Rage collared BH, but that doesn’t mean they are the best for you.

I looked at the on line manuals but couldn't find one for the older Excaliber Ibex models. I bought this bow used two years ago and plan on hunting with it this fall. I know MILES58 runs one of these or something close to it, so I'll be talking to him shortly. 150 gr. heads just seems awful heavy. If that's what I need, so be it, but if possible I'd like to go with a lighter point. I also want to use a mechanical to avoid the planing issue too.
