An arrow is more than just an arrow; it’s the balancing of the perfect materials to make a piece of equipment that can fly at the right speed and along the proper path. Learning which arrows you love most takes time, but it’s worth exploring for the right fit.
These days, carbon arrows are becoming more popular for all bow users due to their durability and functional design. How do the Excalibur Firebolt Carbon Arrows stand up to other similar carbon arrows? Let’s learn more about these arrows and who will most benefit from giving them a try.
Excalibur Firebolt Carbon Arrows
The Excalibur Firebolt Carbon Arrows comes as a pack of arrows which are made of Series 22 carbon for the highest strength and greatest durability around.
Who Is This Product For?
This set is perfect for anyone who cares more about sturdiness and accuracy more than anything else. In particular, those who own an Excalibur crossbow will find that these arrows are the perfect ones for their bow because the two work together so well. Nevertheless, even if you do not own an Excalibur crossbow, these arrows can work gracefully and effectively with a wide variety of bow types.
What’s Included?
This set of arrows comes with six, 20-inch, Series 22 carbon-made arrows. Nothing else is included with these arrows.
Overview of Features
The Excalibur Firebolt Carbon Arrows is one of the most popular on the market, and those who use Excalibur crossbows, in particular, find them to be the best arrows around.
The arrow itself weighs around 265 grains, and the front insert has a unique feature. It is actually heavier than the center and back of the arrow. This type of front-of-center weight balance is known to improve accuracy, and that is a large part of why these arrows are known to be some of the most accurate.
These bolts are 20 inches long and have four-inch vanes on them. The spined arrows were explicitly created for the Excalibur EXO-traditional crossbow series, but there are other crossbows that the arrows can work with as well. However, if you do have an Excalibur crossbow, you’ll get the best of the best when it comes to accuracy.
Excalibur Firebolt Carbon Arrows has no flat back insert, which means you do not need nocks, and you will actually have better contact with the crossbow string while you are firing. All in all, this makes for a smoother and more accurate experience.
These arrows are also made of high-quality, carbon, which is known for its durability and low weight, and that is why it is becoming the most popular choice among archers of all skill levels.
How to Use Your Arrows
If you’re still learning about arrows (or are they called bolts?) for your crossbow or another type of archery equipment, it might be worth learning about arrows in general before you decide if these arrows are right for you or not:
These arrows are very simple to use, but the actual loading procedure will differ depending on which type of bow you have. To learn more about the specific loading procedure for your crossbow, ask at a local outdoors shop or look online for a crossbow-specific tutorial that will work for you.
Generally speaking, you will want to make sure that you keep your hands in the safety zone on both the arrow and the crossbow while you load the arrow with the right vane side down into the crossbow.

The key is that you take your time and learn the proper procedure rather than simply trying to shove a new arrow into your crossbow. If you aren’t experienced with how to use your crossbow or arrows, you could put yourself at risk for injury by rushing through the set-up.
Alternatives
If you plan to use your crossbow at night or in more dimly lit situations, try out the Victory Crossbow Bolts with lighted nocks. The red lights on these bolts will illuminate, so you can recover them even if they get stuck in the dark or underbrush after you launch them. You’ll be less likely to lose bolts this way.
The Nika Archery Fiberglass Arrows is great for those who want a slightly shorter shaft length or who want to try out arrows made of a different material. These fiberglass arrows offer a different shooting experience that many will enjoy.
Conclusion
The Excalibur Firebolt Carbon Arrows is a fantastic choice for archers who want to feel what it is like to shoot with amazing accuracy. These front-of-center weighted arrows made from the highest-grade carbon are an incredible way to fire and off bolts from your crossbow, and you’ll likely never want to change back to anything else after using them.
