Default Did some shooting lastnight

Did some shooting lastnight and am I impressed with myself lol..Started out at roughly 15 yards. Took about 10 shots or so. Hitting within an 1/2 - 1 inch every shot of where I wanted to be. Then I decided to move back to 20. Aimed a little higher for compensation, and hit high.....I thought that isnt right lol.....well took another shot aimed right for the heart area on my shot blocker target and drilled it dead center....the arrow never dropped from 15-20 yards. Its exactly the same. Backed out to 25 yards, aimed high, hit high.....took another shot, aimed for the heart was a little high and to the right about 1-2 inches. That red heart sure gets small at 25 yards. With all the shooting I did lastnight I always came within 1 inch of the heart on the target. I like to think small. Therefore I hit big. Another thing I cant beleive is my arrow holding that much energy out to 25 yards. Im shooting my PSE Stinger set at 63# just adjusted the weight last week, Easton Epic ST 400s with a 100gr. Rage 2 blade. Does this make any sense?? I cant picture not having to aim high at 25 yards.....Maybe its because Im so used to shooting my old Nova and that wasnt the fastest bow by anymeans. I always had to aim high with that at anything past 20 yards. If anyone can explain this to me it would be nice to hear. Also I did put a longer stabilizer on it. I went from a 4 Inch doinker to a 6 or 7 inch stablizer. I did notice Im holding the bow much steadier as well.
