Hi everyone, just bought a used cross bow. I bought a Ten Point Pro Elite. I know nothing about a crossbows. I am in the process of reading all the directions. One question I have is what do you lubricate the rails with??? I would also appreciate any other tips and help anyone would care to offer.
Thank you,
Dog

I would use the lube reccommended by Ten Point. I use Horton lube and String wax. Are you cocking it by hand? Does it have a scope? What bolts and broadheads did you get? I have really enjoyed mine and have taken several deer and turkey with it. Have fun.

Hi Ozark, I bought it on E-Bay-It came with the full package except oil for the rails ect. It has the crank Acudraw, The steady Eddie Monopod system, the 3 Dot scope, 6 Ten Point bolts with broadheads and 3 with field tips-the owner had lost three of the practice bolts. I have bowhunted for many years but getting to the point I can't pull a bow as well as I used to SO I went this route to keep me in the woods and out of trouble.

Sounds like you have it all. Chances are good that it is already sighted in for the supplied broadheads. I am unable to cock mine without the crank type cocking system. I have a normal rifle scope on mine but the Horton I have has a system you just click up or down for various ranges. Basically in 7 yard increments with my setup. A friend who helps me with our place killed a large Bobcat with his Horton last year while deerhunting. I shot one tom turkey that was an odd kill. It flew straight up until about tree top level and then came tumbling back down. It was a wooops for a few seconds and then success.

That would be awesome to get a turkey with a bow!!!!
Yeah I think I got everything I need. The broadheads are new-I think they are thunderheads. I think I would prefer the spitfires for a cross bow-although I am not sure yet.

Those Spitrires are wicked accurate out of mine.

One other question-when you wax your string-do you wax the serving that will turn over on the cams-or just the string ?

I wax the area that slides on the barrel but may well should not. I don't know which is correct on that one.

I talked with Ten Point Rep today and they he said to NOT wipe wax on the serving-that it was not needed!!-I always wax the serving on my compound bows. I guess my concern was getting a wax buildup in the cable system. Maybe it does not matter one way or the other.
Thanks for your replies.
