Just curious what the cross bow hunters are using. I am shooting Quills (Luminok) with 125gr Spitfires on my 335 Micro. I zero'd the scope and at 30yds it was a tack driver.

Exact same bow and bolts but tipped with 125 grain G5s.
Not a proponent of crossbows but I always made an exception for invalids, so since I mangled my left hand in August negating use of the vertical bow and qualifying me as an invalid for the (hopefully just) 2018 season, I bought a used Barnett Wildcat C5 here off the EE that came with Barnett carbon fiber arrows, oops I mean bolts :silly: and a couple of nondescript 125g fixed blade broadheads and a few field points to boot. Took a few shots to dial in the Excalibur Vari-Zone scope for up to 40 yards. It will do to salvage my season at least.
My set up is not current like most because I mostly rifle hunt but when I do manage to get out.
Horton Legend HD150 with red-dot
Carbon Express 20" bolts
Rage Xbow 100 grain broadheads
They fly really well. I get great groups, maybe can even get them touching or close to touching up to 40 yds.... So the groups are great but the performance I had on the deer has been outstanding. 3 deer taken with them and not one went over 40 yds... Maybe a bit lucky but I will be sticking with them until my confidence with them fades. :)
I make my own Black Eagle Zombies with brass insert and blazer vanes and 125 gr Wasp SST fixed blade out of my 335 micro. If I use the 380 Matrix it’s zombies with aluminum inserts and a 170 gr NAP mechanical 3 in cut
Matrix 380 xtra, 18" Diablo's and 150gr. boltcutters
Matrix 355, 18” diablos, 125 slick trick mags

The fly like darts & same POI with BH & FP so makes practicing a breeze! :)
OK I'm a dinosaur I still use a Exocet 200. I work for a retailer that carries Excaliburs but I can't bring myself to justify a new bow. I was just shooting mine today and after shooting 1 bolt at 20, 30 and 40 yds hitting my tiny target my 3rd shot at 50 hit my target which was a little piece of paper the size of my thumbnail. The other 2 were within 2" and this was freehand, no rest. The only thing I don't like about it is the width, it's just a pain to carry through the woods. TC
