Ok the last month I think I have come a long way with my new crossbow but now I hit a new problem. My bow came with 4- 16” aluminum arrows , When I went to buy more arrows I tried 4 places and all they had was 20” arrows so I bought 4 of them to see how they shoot. I just got a hawke XB1 scope and mounted it yesterday and with the 16” arrows at 20 yards I was shooting 2” groups and with the 20” inch arrows 3 ½ to 4” groups and of course the 20” arrows shot about 3” lower . So its obvious that the 16” arrows are more accurate and faster but before I go buying a bunch of 16” arrows do they have enough knock down power to bring down a deer ? And are carbon arrows lighter than the aluminum arrows and which is best aluminum or carbon. Or in short what is the best hunting arrow to use. I am disabled and live on a small fixed income so I cant afford to pay $20.00 an arrow, so I need something affordable too.
im about done with dumb newbie questions " i promise "
