Have any of them broken? And are they good for the OMP Explorer Bow? I'm new

I used these on a 30# long bow, and they are made well, flew straight, and held up well. I did break some of them, but that that was due to operator error, (hitting rocks and such.) I am not familiar with the bow you mentioned but if it's between 20-30# draw weight I would think these arrows will be fine for you.

I bought these for my son to use in target practice. None have broken unexpectedly...so wood defeats foam I guess :). I'm not sure I would recommend them tho...there was quite a bit of glue on the base of the fletchings that needed to be trimmed for smooth passage off the arrow rest (made his shot pull right until we trimmed it). I'd say about 4 of the 12 arrows had this problem. Also...don't get brown. Big mistake on my part....unless you like spending 30 minutes looking for arrows buried in brush.

I have broken a few of them using a 20lb recurve bow, but don't let that get you down (they are nice arrows). I'm sure your OMP would be fine with them.

Only one has broken so far, and the guy at the shooting range easily repaired it. I can't comment about the OMP Explorer Bow as I am new as well. We are using them for target shooting with 60 pound pull long bows and for the cost they are just fine.

I ordered them by mistake, the arrows are 28" long and good quality. My bow is a 70# draw tomahawk and shatters theese arrows. The arrows are ment for a youth bow, not mine. They are fine with anything up to a 35# draw in my opinion. Check out three rivers archery.com, they are the experts.

I purchased some of these last year and I am very pleased with the quality, the 28" length is more suitable for larger (62") version of your bow. If these are being purchased for the smaller (54") bow, you may wish to search for 26" arrows.

None have broken due to faulty arrows. They are very well made! However, if they hit something hard, sure they will break. My grandson says they are great.

They belong to my daughter. None have broken. She loves them. I don't know about the bow question.

Hi Zac, My apologies for the delay, but i actually got rid of all of my Gamegetters. I believe they do fit, since all of my arrow heads (field points, thumpers, and broad heads) easily screwed into all of my arrows in the past. I was shooting XX75s and Gamegetters back then. And these Broadheads I just picked up screwed into my remaining XX75s and my carbon shafts...standard insert. Cheers.

I am honestly not too sure. They do have plastic fletchings so they may not be so great on the greater pound bows such as the Vortex.

It works great for a traditional bow, I prefer these on my traditional recurve than my compound bow. Hope this helps

If you ordered these on Oct. 1st, you probably are still waiting so I'll answer you. I use Muzzy broadheads so in comparison these are huge!! They are three bladed and from the heel of one blade to the other they measure 1 1/16. From the tip of the arrow to the very front of the point they measure 2 1/4 They seem to fly "OK" for $10 I guess. They have the bone crusher type points on them. I'm a bit leary to hunt with something new since every ethical hunter wants a clean & fast kill...

I replaced the scope anyway. Go on crossbow nation site and read about how barnett scopes don't hold zero. I put on a Hawke. Dead on at all yardages. No need to split the cross hairs.

I need replacements too! My kids loved the bow, and it really is a step above "little kid bows" that can't be aimed or go very far. But the bow strings broke and we need to figure out how to fix it.

With the way the bow is designed there is no mounting rail for optics. The built in sights are not bad but keep an eye on the tightness of the screws for the sights. Check every now and then and make sure their tight and not loose and shifting.

Not sure. I personally don't feel like its a good design. The latch system doesn't hold well so the crank will spin backwards tearing ur hands up. On the barnett buck commander the strings get hung in parts of the bow. Just really a bad design. Don't waste ur money.

They appear to be tight enough. I ruined my objective cap by getting some cleaning solvent on it. It is now glued shut. Only a drop or two got on it and ran in the plastic part of the cap and glued it shut. I didn't see it happen. Now I have to order a new cap. Where I don't know ? Other than that it works OK. My scope came with the wrong indicator on the windage knob. It says "Up" on it, same as the elevation indicator. Factory made a bad mistake.

Joseph, I can't answer that because I shoot Gold Tip Hunter 5575 and they fit tight. The quiver is nice, fits my bow great and appears to be built well. Holds four arrows and pops on and off easily. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck hunting. Dwayne

I purchased two packages and had one arrow that the fletching came off. Honestly, I don't know if it was poorly glued or if it rubbed the brush when I shot.

The broad heads will work well with any crossbow. Replacement o rings can be found online. The broad heads performed well for me. Good luck.

They fit fine and work better with the higher velocity bolt than they do with an arrow. Like any broadhead you just need to make sure the bolt is long enoufh that the arrowhead is not sitting on the channel.

Mine just snapped at the tip a few minutes into my first play with it. Snapped like balsa wood. I've never seen a bow do that and it wasn't excessively tight. Not so great.

You can replace it but it's not worth it. You are better off getting a new bow altogether.

I have found nothing to replace an Arrowhead. I was told that they use a proprietary coupling thread that no one else makes. I consider myself screwed (excuse the pun).
