Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but I heard a long time ago that no question is a dumb question when you are starting new on a subject.

Thanks for some discussion on this.
There are never any stupid questions,just stupid answers sometimes. But you have comet o the right place for none of them.

I am suprised at your question because I am sure you understand that our bullets come in different sizes as does your arrow heads and shafts. This would have an impact on the POI for both. But the only difference here is you length of pull and strength/power are fairly consistant, where as our powder charges are variable.

Now if you were shooting a crossbow you would match our situation. You would have a braodhead/shaft weight and your lenght of pull/power level and a fixed sighting system (Scope/Red dot) Once you got a grouping, you would then adjust your sighting system to change the POI to the center of the bull.

I think I got that right, I hope. Cheers!
