50 yards!
 
Well I still have a lot of work to do at under 40 yards,But I'm dead on at 50 to 55 yards.lol,does that make any sense?

I find it to be very funny seeing that I'm near sighted,And I'm shooting better at longer rang than at short rang,lol,I think I must be a little strange...:eek:

Just don't shoot at anything that is less than 50-55 yards away.

Seems to me like maybe your concentrating more at the longer distances, and treating the shorter shots like they are chip shots.. Sorta like the Lakers did to the Pistons this year. :D

i think josh keller may be right. now all you have to do is adjust top to bottom since you already got left and right down. good luck

Maybe it's a tuning issue..........and it takes 40 yrds for your arrow to stabilize !! :D

CBM has got it pegged,it must be a tuning issue where it takes a greater distance for the fletching to steer the arrow straight.

I think Josh has it pegged. I've been there and done the same thing before.

Is a pass through likely at that distance with your set up ?

I wouldn't shoot that far on game. One step by an animal between the point of no return on the release by the time the arrow got there would be the difference between a kill and a wound.

Wounding may depend on speed:

Holt seams to say in his book & research that when an arrow reaches the kill in less than ½ sec. He has not known one to jump the string. So that may require more than 300 fps..
