Man it stings
well this evening it happened my first miss with a crossbow. Id say 16 to 17 inch 9 point, he came running in tonight an I bleated him an he stopped I thought it was 30 an shot right over his back after ranging it it was 22 yards. This miss is hard to swallow at the moment an is really stinging lol
Re: Man it stings
No worries, a clean miss is far better than bad hit and it doesn't sting nearly as bad as the thumb pictured below in another thread.

Re: Man it stings
And if they're 32 yards and you use the 20 yard crosshair you'll shoot right under them.
Don't ask - it still stings.

It will just make you more satisfied on your next shot opportunity when your arrow sizzles through the kill zone...

That`s a bummer for sure. Hope you nail him next time.

Re: Man it stings
Yeah figures to the only deer I saw all day here in pa an a decent buck for this area. Weather was just horrible here. My wife saw three does at 25 yards but passed on them cause she didn't feel comfortable with the shots, I'm proud of her an she fell in love with the Excalibur cub she use to have a Horton scout which she is now selling to her brother lol

Re: Man it stings
You haven't got your setup in your profile so I'm not sure what you're shooting. I'm shooting an M380 with a 384 grain arrow at about 367 fps. With this set my HHA Optimizer at 33yards and that puts me 2" high at 20yards and 2" low at 40yards. That works well for my hunting mode. Maybe you could dial in your rig similarly? Zero at 25 yards = same mark out to 35 yards? It may be worth playing with it. Just a thought.

Re: Man it stings
Okay, so if you set your zero at 25-26 yards, where are you hitting at 20yards and where are you hitting at 30yards?Turkey slayer wrote:I'm shooting a axiom 2219 20 in arrow with aluminum insert an aluminum nocks with 4 in vanes an 100 grain muzzy 3 blade 440 to 450 grain arrow guessing an maybe around 280 fps if guessing
