[QUOTE="Rick Richard, post: 1885837, member: 75895"] Can't help with inexpensive crossbows since mine is much more on the top end side, but I can pass on in what you asked. For the best bolts out there and not too expensive call Jerry at Tapp-Nation. Good quality bolts are paramount to accurracy. Any rated bag target is good for crossbows using field points. If you want to shoot broadhead, then purchase a "Blob" target...best for broadhead shooting. Also, wax the serving and string, but not serving frequently. Wax on the serving can gum up the trigger mechanism and lead to failures. Apply a rail lube every 15 or so shots. This keeps the friction down which minimizes wear on the serving. Lastly, unless it's a built in feature on the crossbow you will not be able to decock the crossbow. You can either shoot the bolt in the ground or use a portable target. Good luck and safe shooting.
