I wouldnt mind going to 50, but at the same time, I dont want to shoot past what my ability is to hit the target I am shooting at. But I may go ahead and do that, I was also worried about drop (mostly out of not knowing) of the arrow over distance, and I need to get out the scale and see how many grains I am pushing.

I am confident I am centered, it is the left to right I am worried about getting zeroed in on.

If you are confident you are centered, do a walkback with your 20yd pin to 25, 30, 35, and 40 yds and see if they all fall in a STRAIGHT LINE like this "|" If they look like this " / " or this " \ ", then you aren't centered as well as you think. Do a search on Walk-Back tuning, it will help a little. Just because you have a 20yd pin centered, doesn't necessarily mean every thing is centered. Also, if you're shooting a WB, if you don't have Blazers, you'll be doing yourself a HUGE favor to get some arrow fletched up with Blazers as they will go through the Biscuit better than about anything else and should give you more consistent shooting. Hope some of this makes sense and helps. You could also read TFOX's "Dont Stop at Walk-Back" thread above, it has some good info in it as well.
