Me likeySomething I found when looking at the recommendations from Tenpoint on Jenna's new crossbow.
Is a Lighter or Heavier Arrow Best for Crossbow Hunting?
With so many different arrow offerings now available on the market, how are you to choose which arrow will yield the most accurate and lethal results? Is it best to maximize the speed of your crossbow by shooting the lightest arrow possible, or is it betwww.tenpointcrossbows.com
So my limited looking the last couple days I basically see that the only thing you cannot do with all crossbows is go too light. Heavier does nothing to the crossbow other than slow it down. The vibrations and shock are lessened the heavier you go. Opposite is true as you go lighter. Now I don't really know if heavier would affect serving and string wear.
So the package she got comes with the Pro Elite 400s. They are 400 gr total weight including a 100 gr head. If you stick with a 100 gr head or even bump up to 125 i think you will be right in the sweet spot for that bow. Per Tenpoint specs for the PE 400s they are balanced at 14% FOC with a 100 gr head. Should be a sweet shooting setup!

My buddy down by Jackson has been using those for a few years for his boys deer hunting. Had some great success with them. I used to shoot NAP Thunderheads over the years and liked them but found the aluminum ferrule didn’t always stay straight when using a head or two for practice. For this setup they would work well but likely a one and done head I’m assuming?
Some people resharpen or replace the blades on the head. Im too paranoid for that type of thing and just one and done. Though like i said people do resharpen or replace the blades.
This is what I just got, actually just got home from shooting it for the first time. 20-30 yards it’s dialed in. 40+ I felt it was off. I’ve heard from a few guys there’s a “method” to sighting it in the first time, did you have any issues/tips? I’m using 100gr tips, do I need more weight?
Ive honestly only used 125s with it so i dont know sorry. I dont take shots past 20 to 25ish so i also dont know about 40 plus. Sorry i couldnt be any help. It is a sweet bow though. Message @xbowguy i believe he commented earlier.
My first thought: Is the bow anchored and in a stable position? I will not shoot 40 - 50 yds without a solid rest. And I am assuming you are using a rope cocker (precision cocking is your friend).
