I love that optizimer dial ,just dial the yds and done .
Ideally 15 yrds is a sweet shot on a whitetail,Most my arra shots are with in 30 yds or less.
The set-up number went from 28 to 31 on the set-up tape to 60 yards.That puts it an average fps 350 to 365,according to the set up .
The new string raised the number from 28 to 31.Ive still got plenty of speed left .

Last year was first time I hunted with a x-bow, so no experience here, but isn't a 50 yard shot on a deer really pushing the envelope??
My personal maximum distance is 30 yards. It's just not worth the risk for a miss or worse yet a wounded animal. I target practise out to 40 yards, but would never send an arrow out that far on a game animal.
Ive kilt a few out to 50 yards ,But everything has to be right.The guys i shoot with do the same .We all shoot daily all yr around though .Cause we dont have anything else bette to do.So this is how we occupy our self's.When it's not hunting season we saltwater fish offshore in my vessel.

That green arrow you say is a flyer try shooting again but rotate the cock vane a lot of times that is all that needs done .
I actually tried that .it's # 3 of 3 .Its gone any how .I use my #erd vane for cock vane.
As end result ,one of the vanes had a slight rip ,i didnt see in the vane.Actually i didn't look no how.
Thanks
for the input

Oh absolutely, as everyone knows for a shot at a 50 yard deer everything has to be perfect. Praying for the deer to not move until the arrow hits its mark is also the biggest part for everything having to be right.
Practise at extreme ranges into targets is another game of sorts and so important in order to you learn the crossbow and its fun. Attempting to adopt these long ranges in the harvesting of big game is something I cannot do ethically.
Tell the folks out west they can't kill deer out to 50 yds out west ,they will laugh at you.I had a buddy shoot an elk at 75 yrds last yr ,It's not for everyone though .Some will hunt water holes from a blind .some will horseback and track speed goats ,and shoot them at very long ranges with crossbow and compound bow.
I dont like taking a unsure shot sho nuf and i wont to this day .

Ive seen some amazing shots from crossbow's .Ive hunted all 7 contient's with bow and crossbow .There are some excellent shooters all over the world.
I understand where folks come from when it comes to bow hunting period .Ive myself have been hunting with some sort of bow for 40yrs.Hardly ever use a gun .just as back up when hunting grizzly bear .or in the mountains out west .some times them cats can be a pain in da butt at night .

Sorry, you took it the wrong way. I don't care how others hunt.
I have my own ethical ranges even though I know my equipment and I are fully capable of longer pokes.
I never hunted Elk, but I enjoy Antelope hunting. My first speed goat was in Raton, New Mexico and 2nd and 3rd in Douglas, Wyoming.
