I want to put tracer knocks on these bolts, whats there diameter? And what type of material is the fletching end made of?

Inside diameter of the nock hole is 0.190". The vanes are pvc, but break fairly easy. The shaft is aluminum and the tip steel. I've had many vanes snap off from just hitting a box filled with towels.

My crossbow is a little slower, but the kinetic emergy index is over 100. Which is why the bolts were blowing through my compound bow targets. My 20 inch bolts penetrate about 7 inches, but are very easy to extract. I would bet the targer would work well for you. It is a good size and heavy. Hope this helps.

Can't speak to the speed tip ones as I have never used them. I have used these to drill through:Metal (up to 1/4" steel, but mostly 12 GA aluminum)Wood (plywood, particle board, and 2xwhatever pine)Plastic (PVC and ABS)DrywallThe bits cut a nice clean hole and did not wander.Hope this helps.

Don't really know, but I have the aluminun bolts on a 175lb crossbow and they work good.

These are lead.From a 1200 FPS rifle, they travel 1000 FPS.They are devastating. There are heavier hunting pellets and lighter alloy pellets. These are just right.

The bolts are made of steel. Your bolts and wingnuts will RUST and freeze in place. Just a warning.

Unfortunately these have a fixed metal target tip and are not interchangeable with other tips such as a broadhead. Hope this helps.

Well first they are called bolts. They are stronger than arrows and do not have a regular nock. I shoot 18" or 20" . Got deer with 20" bolt with small fixed broadhead last year at 40yd. very little drop and passed right through.

I used both, O ring and then the metal collar. I have mixed emotions about these broadheads. Hit a deer at 12 yards the bolt went in on a slight angel behind the leg and went up and deflected along the spine all twisted up. This was the first time I used this point and it is the first time I didn't get a through and through...not sure why.

Mankung reccomends 20 INCH bolts with 100 grain tips i. Agree but use fixed blade as the mechanical one wont open all the time because the bow has to short of a power stroke. Hope this helps I have taken deer with it already.

The round-shank (end) section is 24mm (~15/16") diameter, ~2" long. The (notched) hex-shank section is 30mm (~1 3/16") flat-to-flat, ~2 5/8 " long.

I agree with "daddyo". I will be hunting with Arrow Precision 6 Pack Carbon Arrows (20-Inch) tipped with G5 Outdoors T3 100 Grain 3 Pack Crossbow Broadhead. With the bolts and tips that came with it I am hitting groups the size of my fist at 25 yards and the last time I was firing it I actually "Robin Hooded" one of my bolts. Split the end of the bolt with another bolt. Very cool story but terribly unfortunate for my bolt count.

I don't know what tips were used by one of the respondents with the 80lb crossbow, but my 175lb crossbow, bolts only penetrate the target by just a few inches, I have for several months now and all that it has done is fade a little, other that that it takes a beating.

I suspect it's a low quality aluminum. I bought a set and one broke on the first toss. The inside of the break looked kind of like weld shale. It wasn't worth sending them back for what I paid for them. the broken one will become a spearhead or arrow tip. These are only 6" long end to end and more like a play dart for inside tossing at a cardboard box. You'll never get close enough to anything thats likely small enough to use these on for hunting purposes as far as throwing is concerned. As a one time stabbing knife, they'd pass minimum requirements but they are tiny.

Good Luck! I have used these for years, and the best suggestion I have is to be very gentle when putting your material up to the stop. If I tighten all the bolts extremely tight and VERY GENTLY slide my material on the stand up to the stop, I have more consistent pieces. But if I work at a normal speed, +- 1/16" is good. I have never looked at this set up as extremely accurate, there are to many areas for movement, if you need less then 1/16" tolerance, you need something else in my opinion.

Sorry, I have not seen a limit on these bolts or any of the others that I have purchased. I put them through a crossbow with 165lbs draw and my buddy uses them on a 175lbs. No issues with either. If I am not mistaken, these bolts are manufactured by Easton. I bought a box of Easton XX75 a couple of weeks ago (didn't have time to order the Wicked Ridge), and they also do not have any limitations listed on the packaging or the website. I know this isn't much help, but I haven't had to deal with any higher draw weight crossbows.

They look to large to me to be a crossbow bolt. Carbon Xpress has xbow heads on their site. These are not included in the list.
