WELL....bein how I had some time I took the big 50 yrd shot,guess what!!!!.I was sighted in at 25yrds took the 50 yrd shot and now I have to figure out how to gut a Pine tree,seems that I should of been at 55 yrds,went right over the bag and into a pine tree......more to come got to take son tubeing....
Ok all you Lumizone guys,whats up,I have the speed ring all the way to 350 for the 55 yrd yrd shot and Iam still 4" high but when I shoot at 25 yrds Iam right on...Any Ideas or thoughts.......I have to say goodby to one of my D.Miller arrows,it seems the pine tree didnt want to give it back so I just broke it off insted of cutting it out......it was in about 2" or so...
You don't move the "speed ring" for longer shots. Set your speed ring to approximately 325 for your Vortex (I believe) then zero it for 20 yards using the crosshair. The first triangle below the crosshair is (approximately) your 30 yard aimpoint. The next is 40 and the last is 50. Zeroing your scope for more than 20 gives you a higher point of impact at 50.

I was kinda woundering about that 20 but figured that 25 wouldnt make a differance...15-25-35-45-55 insted of 10-20-30-40-50 I wouldnt think 5yrds would be that much of a differance.....Maybe I should resight the crosshairs at 20 and move my speed ring back to the 3 in 300 andsee what happens.All I will have to do is move my horzontalback about6 clicks and should be good at 20...or very close.
Since it was only one shot, try shooting at 30 and 40 yards to determine if it wasn't a fluke. (I had a bolt head for the deep piney when the bolt was placed a bit off kilter.) If it's going up at 30 and 40 you'r definitely sighted high.

I answered ya on Excal but will here too.I think your problems are due to 25 yd sight in. I've had a bunch of V-zones [3 or 4] here at different times and now a L-zone and they have all been spot on at the longer ranges w/ 20 yd sight in.
Cossack: Read your post on Excal, if you are using the same 431 gr Gt's as Ranger, there's the reason you can't get 330 fps outta your Vortex. Those speed specs are for FFF strings and stock 357 gr arrows, a combination I've never cared for, but do like the FFF and 431's regardless of minor loss of fps.
50 yrd opps.....
Usea heavier arrow
