Hi, I just ordered this xbow after reading up on It, and I was wondering what is the min arrow weight recommended for this and would there be a max weight?

I shoot 410 grain GT Lazer II's with brass inserts and 100 grain points fletched with 3" Fusion vanes. I would not go lighter than that. Mine chrono's 335/337 fps.

You may have noticed the scope sitting mighty high in this photo. I've since changed to low Millett steel rings. Looks better now.

Well thanks for the info moon, maybe someday I'll find out if I ever get my bow from bhss, they said it would ship in 2 to 3 business days and would be sending confirmation#, what a load of you know what!That was last thursday no # and no xbow yet called and they said they were out of stock and would be getting more by friday called today, and still nothing!!! Now It says on their site that they are temporarily sold out. Too bad you can't find them anywhere otherwise I'd cancel and get from elsewhere!

i was checking one of these out and they seem like just the ticket but being so light and small i wonder how they shoot. if i don't see anything negative on these i will probably buy one. i might what a year though to make sure all the bugs are worked out.

As you might imagin, a 6 lb crossbow shooting almost 340 fps is going to be loud. There are some things you can do to quieten it slightly but it's a wild little crossbow. :) I've shot mine for months now with no problems and I'm still on the original center serving. It's build quality is obvious when you inspect it and the trigger is first class. IMO, at $549 it's a steal! :)
