RE: Shoots Great out to 40.. then
For crossbow you need 2216 or 2219 arrows,2213 arrows might be toosoft ,that could be the reason for erratic shooting.

RE: Shoots Great out to 40.. then
Although I am new to the crossbow, I have had a lot of experience tuning and repairing compound bows. If you have access to a chronograph, shoot 10-20 crossbow arrows through the chrony and record the speed FPS for each shot. If the collective speeds of all your shots are consistent than you know your problem is the sighting device and not the crossbow.
Another way you can do this is to remove your scope and reinstall the open sights that came with the crossbow. You would have to sight-in the open sight pin at the yardage you want to shoot. If you shootconsistently with the open sight at different yardages than you know the problem is the scope and not the bow. I hope this helps. |

RE: Shoots Great out to 40.. then
I had the same problem with my Max-ZOne scope last year. Everytime I think I had it sighted in it would start shooting a few inches low again. I kept re-sighting etc.. finally my scope adjustment knob was turned has far as it would go.. couldnt adjust it anymore. Throughout the whole process it cost me 2 deer (not wounded, flat out missed) and a headache. Switched back to pin sight for the rest of the season. Now have the Vari-Zone scope and have had zero problems. I believe there is a rare problem with the pins in glass moving somehow... dunno. I would switch back to the fibre sight and see what happens, i have a feeling your headed down the same road i did.
