Why so high at sixty??

Post by massbow »

Shooting my 355 like a champ from 40 yards and closer. The bow right on at 20 30 40 and 50 yards but at 60 im like a 12 inches high ! what gives? Using the tact zone scope and a steady rest.

I wouldn't let that bother you since you're dead on out to 50 yards for deer hunting especially since you're keeping you're shots under 30 yards. If I was target shooting all the time that might be a different story. Most deer won't be standing there when the arrow gets there when shot over 40 yards anyway, they'll be ducking and trying to get away from the arrow.

I agree just wondering why all the rest were good and the sixty was so high!

I know that doesn't make much sense when the other yardages are dead on.

Did you use a range finder on the yardages?
