The only thing dumber than that shot was posting it on a forum. you've made the whole xbow community look bad. I'm amazed you even hit the damn thing.
W/ an xbow shooting 300 fps, there's a 1" diff
per yard at 30 yds. You are not even close to that speed and have way more drop.
That means an inch high at 29 and an inch low at 31. At 50 yds,
you are talking feet diff, not inches, let alone 60 or 70.The dial-a-range on those bows are for general reference only. Too much variation from bow to bow, arrow to arrow and bhead choice. You need to do some serious homework, buy a range finder and get some practice and knowledge before you hit the woods again w/ that bow.
