RE: best to get
This is a tough question to answer as there are soooooo many variables.
#1 are you using a rope cocker? [centers string which is critical to accuracy]
#2 are you shooting field points or bheads? [some bheads are VERY contrary to xbow use]
#3 what arrows are you currently using?
#4 Have you contacted Horton? [if not, do so asap]
Here's a good start for ya, best of luck, but need more info!!

RE: best to get
If your'e shooting inconsistant...this has nothing to do with the type of "arrow".
IF...you were shooting "the same arrow"...consistantly low..right/left...high..what-ever...but consistant...then I might agree...try a different arrow combination.
BUT...you're saying inconsistant...I take this as the arrow is ending up all over the target...is this correct?
If you have double checked that the riser is tight on the stock....I'd look seriously at #1 or #2 from awshucks list of posibilities...in that order.
Try a rope cocker and tell us what happens..before you jump to too many conclusions and call Horton. Try these options first.
