Hunting from a ground blind, will it help in recovering the bolts ? Primary goal is doe harvest. Recommendations on bolts, nocks, broadheads etc ? Do I need crossbow specific targets ? "Cull" is just another four letter word...

I am a firm believer in Ramcat broadheads, but tried the NAP Killzone out of the crossbow. I'll post up a pic of the results, I was impressed.

Any bolt can kill a deer but there are definitely better arrows. Spynal Tapps and Zombie's at .001 are very good but not cheap. If you don't have the fastest top notch xbow out then the best arrows aren't as important. I would recommend the Laser pro bolts for a good all around bolt. Shoot the arrows you plan to hunt with especially with the cheaper less quality bolts, as they don't always group the same. When you find an arrow that won't group just set it aside.
