Broad head question/recommendation

So my cousin gave me a crossbow that he won a couple years ago and never even assembled. It is a Barnett raptor fx. Seems to be a decent entry level crossbow best I can gather from a Google search.
Anyhow I am looking to see if anybody who knows a lil more about these things has some input on the type and size of the broad heads I should shoot on it. The arrows that came with it are 20" Easton headhunter custom carbon. They came with 100 grain field points so I would assume stay with 100 grain on broad heads. From there, I seek your expert opinions.

I don't shoot a crossbow but I think a lot of people go with 125gr broadheads with a crossbow. It's up to you really. Just make sure your broadheads are the same weight as your field tips. So if you go with 125's, pick up some 125gr field tips to sight it in. As for the brand, grim reaper all the way. They fly just like field tips and the cuts they make are just insane.

I would think at least 125 grain heads, too.

Call Barnett and ask their opinion , often times it's published in the owners manual
Each manufacturer has their recommendations based on test results and R&D

rage xbow hypodermic. 3 does this season and the farthest blood tracking was 50 yards. for forty years i used nap thunderheads with my compound bows. in all those years i killed one deer with an expandable broadhead. but i have never seen blood trails like with the rage head!

Sorry about your disability. Glad you're still enjoying the outdoors

Look at the NAP FOC 170 grain. 3 inch cut makes for a short track job. They shoot very well, too.

I shoot 100 grains out of my Razer. Haven't failed me yet.
