Default First Crossbow on the way

I just ordered my forst crossbow and actually got if for a song. I have on the way a NIB Excalibur Ibex w/scope, bolts and quiver that I found for $300.
I can't wait to get it and sight it in. I may use it occasionally but I can still shoot my compound quite accurately out to 70 yards. The main reason I got it was so that I could take my grandson and granddaughter out for deer and turkey under PA's mentored youth program. I will still have a month or so the get them to practice with me.
One thing I would like to know is what broadheads do you recommend for the Ibex. Until I get it and weigh the FTs I won't know which BH weight to buy. As for bolts I think another 1/2 dozen is in order. Recommended weight is 350 gr. I assume that is bolt total weight including tip.
