Default Horton Explorer HD 150 Bolt Question

I've been using the 3 bolts that came with the crossbow and I'm looking to purchase some and after some research I'm even more confussed. I noticed there are 2216 and 2219 20" bolts and I'm not sure which one to get. I will be using the crossbow for deer hunting and I've purchased 100 grain broadheads for it. I'm thinking about sticking with aluminum since that's what came with the crossbow.

Thanks

the 2219s with 4" fletching will weigh out at about 354.94g (eastns out of the box) the 2216 w/ 4" vanes are about 339.5g. With a 100g tip is far below the 10-15% foc. I have a simular question in here and it might pay to wait till I hear back before you spend any $
hope this helps

I stopped by my local outdoors store and talked to the bow guys. He suggested for my bow 2216 he said 2219 would be too heavy for a 150lb bow. He said the 2219 should be fine for a 175lb but 150 should stay at 2216.

Yup yer shop guy was selling used cars last week . Too heavy what a joke i was shooting 560 gr arrows last yr. Using my old vixen, just make sure you keep the weight the company recommends. This yr i an trying 345 gr arrows & they're too light to suit me
