For example, if I sight in at 20 yards...
The top of the first diamond is about 2" high at 30 yards.
The top of the second is about 3" high at 40 yards.
The top of the bottom diamond is about 4" high at 50 yards.
That is with the scope set on 350. I turned it down to about 330 just to see what it would do. I was within 3/4 of an inch of my prior arrow at 50 yards so I wasn't sure it made much difference. So I cranked it down to 275 like an idiot. I shot over my Block 4x4.

Unfortunately this sapling did a fine job of catching my arrow.

Using a big screwdriver I was able to retrieve the arrow, but I think it is a loss due to a hairline scratch in it. (I'm not risking it.)
A lesson learned.
Has anyone else experienced this same issue? Is there anything you can do about it short of shooting a heavier bolt/point to slow it down? I like the simplicity of 10 yard increments, but I'm not sure if I want to sacrifice speed to get there. I don't plan on taking any 50 yard shots outside of target practice so this is more of a target shooting question.
