[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2815055, member: 63925"] Crossbows are no different than vertical bows. They will have minimal arrow specifications just as vertical bows. Personally, the speed is irrelevant to me, crossbows are noisy unless you break 1100fps. I changed to heavier arrows almost immediately and the first observation was the heavier arrows did not drop that much in speed and downrange improved. Seems the heavier arrow was more efficient in absorbing the crossbow energy no different than vertical. I switched to 125 gr Rage Crossbow version and fly great with heavier arrows. Crossbow did quiet down "a little" but still noisy in comparison to vertical. The heavier arrows were definitely more stable in flight and target penetration actually became a problem. Targets that held up no longer could hold the heavier arrows even at 40yds. These are block 400fps targets. 3D is joke, right through. This is an older Bowtech Stryker 380 that shoots 20" FMJ's at 255fps with 125gr heads. Blow through deer even at 50 yds. Too bad the arrow is discontinued but I bought enough shafts to last. [/QUOTE]
