May have to get a leupold down the road then. I was reading up on their (Leupold) scopes and it says they adjust for arrow speed and yardage increments. basically you just put in your arrow speed and it sets yardage for you. Is that true?
I was hoping to get the Ten point listed on here but it didn't work out.......

First I've heard. I screwed up the last quote. Lol
I shoot an Excalibur crossbow and love it, Ten Point is the only other one I would consider. Those are freaking sweet. Your next question will be what broadhead to get. Get you 100 and 125 grain field points and see what flies better out of your bow. Make sure to shoot the same grain practicing as you do hunting. Once you find out which flies better get a broadhead with the same weight. For me 100 grain is the cats mellow. Just get you some of these and your good to go! https://www.amazon.com/Spitfire-100...475355641&sr=8-1&keywords=spitfire+broadheads

Right on, I ordered a bunch of 75 grainers though.
I will wear those out and switch to your suggestion. I have always shot lighter arrows for less drop at longer distances. I am concerned with the 175 lb draw weight that the arrows might be too light. It says Speed: 360 fps (370 grain bolt)
Kinetic Energy: 107 ft-lb (370 grain bolt)
Doing the math the arrows are 10.5 grains per inch at 20 inches so 205 grains for arrow and 75 for broad head puts it at 280 grains so I will probably hit 380 fps but what is it going to do to the bow? Shooting too light of an arrow can be bad.
Seeing that it comes with 100 grain practice points it looks like thats what you will be wanting.Right on, I ordered a bunch of 75 grainers though.
