Crossbow Tricks vs Other Tricks -

UrbanDeerSlayer · 12-15-2011, 05:59 AM

Besides the grain weight (Crossbow Trick is 175 gr) whats the difference between the Crossbow trick and say the Magnum or Grizztrick. I'm shooting a Horton Ultralite Crossbow at around 330 fps, 175 lbs. I've been shooting 100 gr tips with aluminum Horton Bolts at about 432 total weight (with 100 gr tip). Mechanicals shoot accurately. I'm more inclined to use Grizztrick due to larger cutting diameter, unless there is a better advantage to using Crossbow tricks.

Urban,

The reason that we came out with the XBOW Trick is for guys that needed the added weight forward on their Crossbow arrows to help stabilize them. This was especially true with the faster crossbows that were and are coming out on the market. Before guys/gals were getting this weight by using a much heavier brass insert in their arrows along with a 100 or 125 grain head. We did the XBOW Trick for the folks that had aluminum inserts and didn't want to go to the expense of changing to brass ones. The XBOW Trick uses the same blades as the Magnums do and the only difference in those is the weight. The Grizz Trick 2 is a head to itself and has and 1 1/4" cutting diameter vs the 1 1/8" of the Mag and XBOW Tricks. It only comes in 100 and 125 grain. Hope this helps answer your question.

Thanks,
Tony

Thanks for the info. Do you think a heavier broadhead / bolt will stabilize the arrow better for accuracy purposes on a longer distance shot say 40 - 50 yards?? Because at 20-30 yards with 100 gr broadheads i've been shooting nice groups, but start to lose accuracy at 40 yards.

You should get better accuracy all around.
