Dry-fire warning
Crossbow bolt data and archery arrow spine, nock and thread data are quoted from each manufacturer's published figures, owner documentation and industry standards, cited on every page. A nock, spine or grain-weight mismatch can cause a dry-fire that damages the bow and can injure the shooter. Confirm against your own owner's manual and the arrow maker's own chart before shooting, and never drop below the stated minimum total weight.

The Gold Tip Hunter XT is a 6.5mm-class carbon shaft with a.246-inch inside diameter, so it takes a GT-size nock, not an S nock, and Gold Tip's Accu-Lite insert.
Its published spines run from 250 at 10.6 grains per inch to 500 at 7.3 grains per inch, with the outside diameter shrinking from.309 to.291 inches as the spine gets weaker.
The.246-inch bore uses the standard 8-32 thread through the Accu-Lite insert, so standard field points and broadheads fit.
