Try removing and remounting your scope. It might not be mounted correctly. Make sure you tighten the screws alternatively, evenly and with the same pressure on each of them. Then give it another try.

You are turning the speed ring in the right direction. If what ComfyBear suggested doesn't remidy the situation then I suspect you've got a bad scope. I shoot the same arrows and have the same scope as you. I shoot an Exocet but don't believe your bow would be so much hotter that you'd run out of scope adjustment.

Good luck...

Oh, if what ComfyBear suggested doesn't work and you can't wait for a replacement scope you can try shimming the front scope mount. See if maybe two strips of index card does the trick. You'll of course need to zero again at the 20.

Take care...

It's a bad scope. I had one that done the same thing. Dan sent me a new scope for my old one and that took care of it.

Adjust your string, make sure it is on the right spot on the deck, there are 2 clear lines on the deck where the server of your string should be sitting make sure it is in the center of the 2 lines. I had the same problem with my crossbow and I noticed that my string was not touching the right spot on the deck. I replaced the string and i am shooting accurately now. Good luck!

my string is near the line that is farthest from the limbs

in my case it worked better when it was in the middle of the two lines. i saw it on one of the excal training videos also that the string sits dead center of the two lines.

Try turning your scope rings around.
if the screw that clamps down on the scope rail is on the left then turn the rings around so it faces the right.

Put your brace height 1 1/8" from the end of the RAIL closest to the riser

did you adjust the actual up and down adjustment in the scope? Try turning it down 5 clicks and see what happens. It shouldnt make much difference at 20 yards but it should help you drop 4-5 inches at 30.

btw, dont shoot 50 untill you get the 20-30 yard range right. You are bound to lose arrows that way.

But the different triangles on the scope are there to help. Sometimes they will line up perfect but other times they dont. Thats where practice and knowing where to put that triangle on the deer help.

I seldom use anything but the main crosshair 90% of the time hunting

brace height shouldnt make a huge difference. On the chrono I can oly find 5fps difference between those lines. If you have it on or between those 2 lines its ok
