Excalibur Diablo 18ft Illuminated Carbon Arrows - Accurate Bolts

In this review the Excalibur Diablo 18' illuminated carbon arrows are assessed for crossbow shooters who need consistent flight and reliable contact with the string. The bottom line: these arrows are built to complement Excalibur Matrix series crossbows by combining a heavier front insert and a flatback insert for improved front-of-center balance and dependable string engagement. They are particularly notable for accuracy at typical hunting distances and the included Beacon nocks that aid visibility after a shot.

Key Features

• 18' Length: The 18' arrow length is matched to Matrix series crossbows for proper spine and flight characteristics.
• 250 grain weight: The heavier front mass increases front-of-center balance for steadier, more consistent groupings.
• .003 straightness tolerance: Tight straightness control helps the arrows fly true and maintain predictable trajectories.
• 2' Blazer vane with 10 degree offset: The vane design promotes stable spin and dependable arrow flight from the string through impact.
• Illuminated Beacon nocks: The included illuminated nocks make locating arrows after a shot far easier in low light or dense cover.
• Flatback insert: The flatback insert gives reliable contact with the string and removes the need for separate nocks in some setups.

Who It's For

The Diablo 18' arrows are best for hunters and target shooters using Excalibur Matrix crossbows or similarly spined platforms who want arrows that fly true to mid-range distances and withstand repeated use. Shooters who value durability and consistent front-of-center balance will appreciate the heavier front insert and tight straightness tolerance.

Those who need non-illuminated budget bulk arrows or who use very short or very long draw crossbows should compare spine and length closely before buying, since these arrows are optimized for 18' setups and Matrix-style platforms.
