Great vid. Thanks!
Thank you!!
Super demonstration, and honestly, it makes me want to stick with spine indexed Victory’s and/or bare shaft tune and fletch myself like I did for my compound.
Thanks, David. I’d also pick a spine indexed Victory over these.
I'm having good luck with these Same bolts
Good info. I'm waiting on some Magnus broadheads myself. Hope to see a video with the Ripper, Piledrivers and broadheads. Deer season is getting closer!
Thanks Zeb, we’ll get the Ripper with broadhead video done as soon as we get some of the goodies we ordered!
What's the RIPPER ?
@@cray-z7404 Model of crossbow, I believe.
@@zebmartin995 well your guess is good as mine then lol 😆
Hey I have those bolts some of the best shooting bolts I’ve ever found
So putting the 150 grain point on changed the spine of the bolt, you could have increased the nock weight to get the spine back to where it needed to be to papertune with the heavier point.
PILEDRIVER BOLTS ARE SIMPLY AMAZING CRAYMAZING MATTER OF FACT 🤣
Glad those are workin' out for ya!
You probably should have shot that 100 grain field point one more time. Three of your four tears were pretty much the same. Your arrows were not tearing left or right, which would indicate a weak or stiff shaft. It might shoot any of those weights you tried just fine. Your arrow did fly better in the nock position you chose, so that was definitely better. Just a thought. Good video by the way.
Thanks!
I just got the Killer instinct boss 405. I upgraded my scope To the killer instinct Lumix IRE. AND MY BOLTS ARE NOT STOCK. THEY ARE CARBON FIBER VICTORY 325. WT 100 GRAIN FIELD POINT. TOTAL 425. I SHOOT BASEBALL GROUPS AT 80 YARDS. I USE RAGE XTREME BROADHEADS. NICE REVIEW.
Sounds like a great setup! I really like the Boss 405, I think KI is going to sell a lot of those this year. Just stay off the shoulder with those rage xtremes ;)
@@draggindeeroutdoors thanks for the reply. I will stay true wt the Rage. Thank you.
@@wcwcgarner2717 Go get 'em!
@@draggindeeroutdoors great channel thanks for the reply. I will be watching for more good videos.
I hunt with lighted nocks and they weight about 20 grains more than those green ones.
I ran into my field points zeroed my broadheads way off had to zero for broadheads
How do you “nock tune” a bolt like those used by Excalibur since they are simple “flat nocks”?
I shoot spine indexed .001 Black Eagles with 110g grain front inserts.
If you shoot spine indexed arrows, no need to nock tune. Nock tuning is a less precise method of spine indexing.
Get an arrow spinner. Not that expencive.
Any experience with Gold Tip Nitro bolts. They are 13.9 gpi? Would you consider a bolt this heavy? Would it be to difficult to get high FOC?
I have no experience with that bolt, but it’s definitely a heavy one. Try tuning it and see what you come up with!
@@draggindeeroutdoors what type of FOC numbers are you recommending or finding works best for you?
Did you try nock tuning with the heavier points?
I didn't move the nock position when I started adding weight, I kept it at the marked green fletching. I can though if you want me to try it!
This was kind of a weird bolt, this was the first one that actually nock tuned and tore paper well with the 100 grain point. With the piledriver, all 3 positions had tears with 100 grains. We picked the nock position that was "nock low" and added weight until it was a bullet hole. **So far, we've found "nock low" to be easiest to correct with weight. **
I was just wondering if the different nock positions on the arrow used, would preform better with the different weights. Might be an interesting experiment. But you don't have to do it for me.
Keep getting a string gouge on left side of nock, gouge about 2 inches going up from nock along left side...almost right before fetching, and paint scratching off on left side of crossbow rail...half moon, barnet recurve crossbow....any ide how to fix this?
Where the paint is scratched off, is there a high spot there on the rail? Also, are you cocking the bow by hand or using a rope cocker?
@@draggindeeroutdoors ....rope cocking with hooks up and close to rail every time. Not sure about high spot, paint scratching along the inside channel corner, most pronounced beneath and forward of the arrow retention spring, with more a little behind and in front of string, and no scratching along the flat. Its like it skips a 3 inch piece in the middle....have shot maybe 50 times at most. This is a cheap barnet XR250b...arrow is carbon Express hot rod 20"...I assembled it myself, and the press pod limb retention thing does seem to be just a smidge mote to the left..however, the bolt used to secure this bites into the little metal tab piece when tightening, so it wants to find it's way back to the original alignment position...unfortunately...not grossly off, but I can feel it is definitely a little more to the left than centet.
@@draggindeeroutdoors I am also using the rail lube tube provided by Barnett, applied when I begin a shooting session
@@draggindeeroutdoors it seems to be pretty accurate, just worried about taring up arrows....do you think a flat nock may help?
What if your knocks come with glued in knocks????
You could shoot all the bolts thru paper, and rank them based on how well each bolt tears. Or…buy bolts that use a press-fit nock. Not much you can do with bolts that require nocks to be glued.
How do you guys turn the knock It is glued
The bolts we use have press fit nocks.
Carbon Express are inexpensive but they aren't "cheap"
Probably not enough spine to add lot of front weight
Only thing your doing with the nock is spine indexing.
Correct!
You know, that scale has a "mode" for "grains". Lol. Cycle the "mode" button until you see "g". Your welcome
Lol. Yup, figured that out 🤣
@@draggindeeroutdoors 😆
ffs stop calling Carbon Express a "Wal-Mart bin bolt"
Even if I literally bought it from a Wal-Mart bin? :)
@@draggindeeroutdoors it doesn't matter if you bought it at Wal-Mart. I can get that arrow at Wal-Mart or Meijer or Cabela's or Jay's...
You realize they sell PS4s at Wal-Mart too.. does that mean it's a "Wal-Mart PS4"?
CE makes some of the best arrows around, and Piledrivers are among the heaviest you can buy. The tolerances are within .003"
If you want to screw around with CHEAP arrows, buy a dozen Elong Outdoor arrows off eBay.
@@draggindeeroutdoors and btw... that's the only thing I disagree with. What you're doing is 100% a good thing when it comes to an ethical animal harvest. Nock tuning insures you don't accidentally just wound an animal instead of killing it, and I do appreciate that.
@@Anomaly.Filmworks right on man. Happy hunting!
@@Anomaly.Filmworks I love my Walmart bin PILEDRIVER BOLTS/ ARROWS I ORDERED OFF AMAZON 🤣
I guess I'm just lucky my barrnet 370 is accurate as 22 sighted in with 5 shots with Wal-Mart bolts I've killed 8 deer all pass through shots no tuning needed just sayen
Glad you’re happy with your setup 👍
