A few questions for a crossbow bolt setup

Which bolt would you recommend?
Do I have to stick with the same bolt that comes with the bow?
What weight works best? I always go with 100, but I wonder if it would fly a little more stable if I add 25-50 grain foc(leaning towards 125).
Is there a good lighted nock that works well and flies true?

my excal crossbow shoots the black eagle executioner and 150gr slick tricks or 150gr TOTA heads. I can highly recommend the BE executioner and zombies!

the executioner is a bit heavier than the stock bolt which is made by easton (and a fine bolt plenty for hunting) so they hit hard and always get pass throughs

We use BE zombie slayers.
100 grain heads
3 fletched right-hand helical with a Arizona jig made for aluminum arrows, using bohning bot vanes.

Lumanocks lighted knocks work great for us.

We use the BE insert weights to build our arrows to the weight we want.

Dad shoots 525 grains off his Excalibur bulldog 330.

I shoot 700 grains off my Excalibur micro 355 suppressor.

Inside 60 yards there isn't any animal on earth we can't kill.

Speaking to accuracy of the system with these arrows. Me and dad have both hit a quarter at 60 yards.

Dad likes his grimreaper 3 blade razor cut ss broadheads.

I use Magnus ser razor broadheads and the same grimreaper heads he likes.

Hope this helps.
