Most crossbows won' t allow for helical fletching and the bolts are short and not nearly as stable as a longer arrow. I would say a good mechanical, something like a Rocky snyper, Rocket steelhead, Vortex min-max steel or NAP scorpion would make a good choice. These will fly well and should allow for good penetration on reasonable shots. This is for deer size game only though.

Well that would all depend on what type of crossbow you have, what shafts you are using what the manufacturer recommends etc.........I use broadheads & mechanicals with my Excalibur & they both work great!!!!!!!! [8D] Brampton Mike

I watched a friend of mine who is physically unable to pull a compound any longer shoot his crossbow at a target. He was shooting Muzzys at the time and shot as well as any stick bow or compound......up to 30 yds., which he decided was his effective range with his crossbow. He had also shot Thunderheads and some other fixed blade broadheads with success.
