Are You Shooting the Best Crossbow Arrow for Your Bow?

Are You Shooting the Best Crossbow Arrow for Your Bow?

whitetail hunting with crossbows

Selecting the correct arrow for your crossbow can be challenging if you’re unaware of some basic ideas about how you want to use it, what you’ll be hunting and your bow’s setup.

Just as with any other deer hunting bow or firearm, your crossbow needs to have the appropriate items to make it work at maximum performance. That includes your arrows. Selecting the right one that will fly the best, hit the hardest and do the job on a buck or doe is critical.

Check out this press release from TenPoint Crossbows about selecting the right arrow:

With a wide array of crossbow arrows available to consumers in the market today, selecting the right arrow for your shooting or hunting situation can seem like a difficult task – speed, kinetic energy, trajectory, and overall performance vary amongst different weighted arrow.

While TenPoint’s five arrow Easton lineup of lightweight, standard-weight, and heavy weight crossbow arrows offer the perfect arrow for whichever shooting or hunting situation you face, let’s take a closer look at the characteristics and recommendations of the different weighted arrows.

  

Lightweight Arrows (350-400 grains)

Characteristics: Using a lightweight arrow increases overall speed and creates a flatter downrange trajectory.  However, it transfers excess energy to the bow assembly and limbs, and generates increased vibration, stress, and noise.  Depending on the crossbow, this excess energy may create a dry-fire effect, which can affect the durability of bow components.  With lighter spines and less momentum, lightweight arrows can be less stable and more easily deflected down range due to wind, rain, and/or debris.

Recommendation: Provided your crossbow can safely handle a lightweight arrow, there are circumstances where using one can be useful.  In open areas, where judging distance is more difficult, a flatter shooting arrow may be the difference between making a kill shot, a wounding shot, or a miss.  Because of its characteristics noted above, however, it may not be a good choice for certain hunting situations or especially for shooting in inclement weather or in heavily wooded or thick habitat.

Standard-Weight Arrows (400-435 grains)

Characteristics: A standard-weight arrow offers a good blend of speed and kinetic energy to provide an all-purpose hunting arrow that meets most manufacturers’ arrow requirements and is effective for most shooting circumstances.  Increasing the weight of the arrow allows a higher percentage of the crossbow’s energy to be transferred to the arrow, thus reducing vibration and noise, and the likelihood of bow damage.  In addition, the increase in weight allows the arrow to retain more kinetic energy and usually improves downrange accuracy and penetration.

Recommendation: Because of its “all-purpose” nature, a standard-weight arrow is not likely to damage a crossbow and can be used effectively and successfully in nearly all shooting and hunting circumstances.  The rare exception would be a circumstance where a lightweight or a heavyweight arrow is clearly a better choice for a particular crossbow model.  Standard-weight arrows are the arrow of choice for most manufacturers because they “quiet” noise and vibration levels in virtually all modern crossbows.

Heavyweight Arrows (435 grains or higher)

Characteristics: A heavyweight arrow, up to 750 grains, produces and retains the largest amount of kinetic energy, which results in greater penetration ability.  Traditionally, heavier arrows generate more momentum and produce tighter groups downrange as a result of improved in-flight stability. Heavyweight arrows are less likely to deflect due to wind, rain, and/or debris.  However, they lose trajectory faster down range, making judging distance more critical when using them.      

Recommendation: A heavyweight arrow is ideal for hunting big game with tough hides, hunting in inclement weather, and hunting in thick habitat.  Because it loses elevation faster downrange, using a rangefinder when hunting with one is a good idea.  It is also an ideal arrow for target shooting at known distances.  A heavyweight arrow will also produce the quietest and most vibration free shot of all other weight choices.

Operating Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Camera ‘Menu’ Mode or Camera ‘On/Run’ Mode: If the LCD screen is displaying the menu or text, the camera is in ‘Menu’ mode and will not take pictures/videos during this time. If the LCD menu is left inactive for 30 seconds, the camera will go into a power saving state. The LCD display will turn off and the camera has switched to ‘On/ Run’ mode and is ready to start taking pictures/video. You can also press the Run/Wake button to quickly exit menu and turn camera into active ‘On/Run’ mode. The LCD menu will not wake up while the Green Status Light is on or blinking. Wait until after Green Light turns off to wake up the LCD screen by pressing any button.
  • Empty Photos/False Triggers: If there are a large number of photos taken with no game present in the frame, first make sure your camera is mounted the correct height and in the right direction. If there are limited, random photos with no game present, the following scenarios are most likely; an animal ran through the picture extremely fast, a smaller animal/bird is around the camera/sensor but is not in the camera field of view, or the sunlight or heat in combination with moving elements (trees, brush, shadows) is causing a false trigger. To prevent potential false triggers, try not to setup the camera directly in the sunlight. You may also change the Camera Sensitivity Setting according to your situation.
  • Blurry Image Quality: Blurry images typically result from objects causing interference between the camera and the intended focal point. Blurry images may also be the result of direct sunlight, fog, condensation, dust or other debris on the camera lens. Carefully cleaning the camera lens window and/or placing the camera in a different location may solve this type of problem. With current available technology for this product, there is no way to eliminate the potential of photos with blur caused by game moving too quickly. We have optimized the TRUTH Cam to limit the number of motion blurred images and provide as many clear, quality photos as possible.
  • Dark or Light Image Quality:  As daylight transitions back-and-forth between light and dark, the camera changes settings to optimize the picture. Some ‘lighter’ or ‘darker’ photos may be captured during the camera transition process. Try to avoid setting up the camera in situations where the sunlight will shine directly into camera lens. With any photo capturing, taking pictures directly into sunlight produces less than desirable results.
