Default 5" drop at 30yrds.

I noticed something interesting... I was sighting my new scope in and the bolts where all grouping great at 20yrds. I went out to 30yrds and every couple shots one would hit either 5" high or low. I stopped shooting off hand andused a shootingstick to hold the bow still. Same thing. I didn't realize immediately that when I bought more target points, the new ones where quite a bit more pointed than the ones that came with bow. (the ones that came with it are very rounded and almost blunt except for the very point.) The new ones werent the longer field point. Just the regular target type. But there was still quite a bit of difference. I am pretty sure that's what was causing the drop. But I wouldn't think the different tips would cause it to drop that much at 30. I'm going to buy some more so they are all the same and see what happens. If that is the case, then I will probablyhave to adjust the tradjectory quite a bit for the spitfires before hunting.
