I'm a novice to horizontal bows, and would like some advice on fieldpoints for the bolts. I just went thru all 11 pages, and still have an unanswered question.
I have a Revolution (yeah, I know
). But I bought it cheap (<$200.00) and thought that it would do for a first X-bow. I did have some problems with it, and sent it back to Barnett. They swapped out the whole bow and stock, so I now have a brand new one. ;D
I'm shooting Beman ThunderBolts with 2" Blazers. The bolts weigh 420 gr. with a 100 gr. fieldpoint. I have a cheap Wal-Mart foam target (which will be upgraded asap as soon as I can find where to purchase the Crossbow King here in the States). I'm burying the bolts up to within 3" of the vanes @ 20 Yds, and within 4-5" of the vanes all the way out to 40 Yds. The bolts seem to stick in the target, and I have a heck of a time getting them out even with an arrow puller. I tried to shoot the fieldpoints in the broadhead side (less penetration = easier removal, right?) and thought I would have to cut the target apart to get the bolt out......
What fieldpoints do you recommend?
Thanks,
