Start using a crossbow last year because of some surgery. Had a question about tuning. Does anyone tune their crossbows as paper tuning. How many use fixed blade broadheads. Last year I used a older crossbow and had no problems shooting some montecs. It also punch the paper perfectly. I bought a pro elite this year with a pro-view scope. It does not shoot a perfect hole (shoots high) and does not group well with broadheads and field points. I am looking at expandables but had some bad experiences in the past when I was shooting compounds. Any help would be appreciated.

I was using the ones with the curve that kind of fits around the string, went to the flat ones and no more problems.

Yes, you need to use flat nocks with the TenPoint bows.

I shoot and hunt with a TenPoint QX4 and I coud not ask for a better shooting crossbow.

I shoot the Pro-Elte carbons with 100 grain Wasp SST Hammers (fixed blade) and 2" Blazer vanes.

The Pro-Elites have brass inserts and weight in at 426 grains.
