I shoot a Barnett DOA with throws the bolts at a little over 375 FPS with a KE of 133 ft lbs.. Will these work at that speed & KE?

Grimm reaper broadheads were originally designed to handle all crossbows. they can handle the KE. you will be very pleased with these broadheads. i havent had a deer run more than 30 yards with these broadheads and have been using them for 8 years now and have downed quite a few deer with them

That's plenty of KE. You will get maximum performance with that amount of energy. The minimum amount of KE Grim Reaper its self recommends is 65 ft lb's. For reference, the formula for KE = 1/2 mv^2.

They make a reaper broad head for crossbows. They recamend a 65# draw weight on a bow. But I only shoot a 60# draw weight. I produce 82 lbs of KE. They have always worked well for me. You should probly get the ones for a crossbow. Just to be safe so they don't open in flight. Go to grimreaperbroadheads.com. you will be able to see the different ones offers the. Hope this helps.Have a safe hunt and good luck to ya.

Well first of all I hate crossbows but I can't complain about the grim reaper broadhead the blades are strong

YES! I would advise that. especially if you happen to shoot outdoors in wind. I would advise weights or sandbags. Paid dearlywhen my sb-900 flash took a wind aided DIVE. If you're using a flash combined w/a soft box especially. combined weight should be no more that say 10 pounds.

From experience I certainly would not recommend anything above 1,000 fps and it probably needs to be much less. My 1200 fps destroyed the welding on it in a very few shots from 10 meter distance. My own educated guess is that it might stand up to 500 fps at 10 meters. This is the velocity of many competition air rifles. The weakness of this trap seems to be in the welds which hold the various seams together.

yes, I use them in my Ghost 350 which shoots 360 ft sec. and they are dead on and are the best heads I ever used the 3 blade works best in my crossbow.

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

I use 20" Headhunter bolts with Muzzy 125 broadheads. Never had an issue. Taken down 9 deer so far.

Bow has an achievable speed of 285FPS and I would say that is for a 20" arrow. I have no other speed data available. Darrin

Absolutely. I have owned 3 BARNETTS in the past and currently have a ZOMBIE 350. The rope cocker guarantees consistent accuracy because the string is pulled to the same point each time. I am plenty capable of pulling the 175 pound xbow I have now, BUT accuracy suffers slightly; the difference between 1 inch and maybe 3 inch groups at 30 yards. Good luck.

I think they should as long as they don't go through a wisker biscuit, I am shooting them at 320fps

To be honest I don't know but, I used them for for AirSoft I got shot with on the Right side of the Glass with a BB going at 400 Feet Per Second (fps). It only made a crack. Hope this gives you an Idea of how strong they are.

Not sure. I used them on an older Barnett crossbow. What I would suggest is call or email Barnett directly. They can be very helpful, I'm sure. Good luck to you.

Hector I use the Barnett Predator at 375 FPS and if i remember correctly the Jackal is about 315? So if a 22" bolt is used in the Jackal then yes.
296485
Yes I do. I have had no trouble with them being out of balance. When I shot my crossbow out they were nearly right on. I is likely a combination of the crossbow (wicked ridge) and a good arrow. Hope this is a help. I would recommend them.

I use these on my craftsmen impact driver with a socket to drive six inch lag bolts. As long as it will fit into you gun you should be ok.

Well i ordered this pink ones last year and they worked great i have a Barnett C-5 and was using a barnett carbon arrow and these did not shoot any different I did not have to adjust my scope for them. I do not know the weight. I ordered again this year thinking I would get the same arrows and that was not the case the arrows I recieved were horrible cheep and not the red pink as shown.

Yes.....this crossbow is as fast as top of the line bows a mere decade ago that people have been using to kill deer for decades. Running a 425+/- grain carbon bolt at 240 feet per second relates to around 54 ft lbs of Kinetic Energy. More than enough for deer and actually passes into the bottom end of the large game category on many charts.

My crossbow shoots at 350fps and it stops the bolts great. Shooting a recurve you probably are well under 300fps so this is overkill and you could just use a standard yellow jacket for compound bows and the arrows will be easier to pull.
