Barnett quad 400 problems
I Have a quad 400 with 20 inch bolts and 125 grain practice point. I also have a 3 dot tru glow red dot scope on it. . I bought 6 brand new easton arrows because the 4 that came with it the fletchings are all messed up because they go straight through the block and because I missed the whole target a few times.anyways I had it sighted in at 25 yards but then I moved out to 35 yards and it shot high and to the right like a couple inches so i adjusted my scope a couple clicks and then it was shooting like 4 inches to the left of the target and I didnt move it that much.soem times its fairly consistent and then other times it will be off by a foot. I also notices that if i push the arrow all the way back the front end comes up a little of the groove. I am using 125 grain field points. Should I use broad heads because that is what I will be hunting with?

Assuming you have the same model/year as I do, you will also notice the riser is too narrow and your fletching will hit it as the arrow is coming out of the bow.
If possible take it back and get a refund. And then call Dave.

You need to be able to hit a snuff can at hunting ranges w/ field points before even thinking about bheads.
Your accuracy problem became apparent to me w/ you're comment you are considering getting a c0cking rope.
Watch out for going under min arrow weight, I'd get the right arrows and rope and start over were I you...........

I had a Quad 400, the happiest day I had with that thing was when the limb cracked and I could justify buying another crossbow.
If all else fails, try tightening EVERY screw and nut on the crossbow (including scope mount & rings), and try to LocTite them all. I think there is just too much recoil on these bows, mine was never consistent, but keeping all the screws tight helped.

cocking rope
So I got a cocking rope and am shooting the rage 2 blade practice tip(the blue one) and Its a lot more accurate but it still isn't where I would like it. What yardage should I set for each dot( I have 3 dots)
