Try shooting a different kind of arrow Easton, Gold tip,Any just shoot a different arrow and see what happens....if it hits in the same place it is the bow start looking for something that is making contact with arrow or scope problems, bent scope mount, or something like that.these bows are bombproff .......most of the time its the arrows...but not always.
I think 5o is a good ethical distance to kill a broadhead target lol..keep trying and tweeking it youll get it figured out..I kill mine at 60 too..but ofcourse like said keep em close in the field and youll be fine..
When I bought the crossbow I took it apart to transport, if I remember correct I forgot to place plastic shim, if that is the English word for it? Look at the picture, can someone look at his bow and check?

do you know you can take the two bolts that hold the riser to the rail out and take it apart that way instead of taken the limbs off the riser....a lot less work to get it back together.......bob

exocet 200. STS dampers.
boo string and trigger work.
munch mount quiver mount.
125 gr slick trick magums.
2" blazers on 2117 XX75 w/ brass inserts.
Try rage 125 2 blade,comes with practice head.They fly better than anything I've tried and really put em down fast and leave massive blood trail when hit right.

Yes but it wont help me now I have used strong loctite on the bolts so I cant take anything of, real stupid
I buy some new arrows/bolts to test if that will make a difference.

Try NOT holding so hard. Relax and squeeze. Holding hard usually generates muscle stress and movement(shakes), makes for a poor follow through. Bring the stock firmly to your shoulder, then relax. Concentrate on just squeezing off the trigger in a 1 second finger motion. You count, "one thousand one" in your head . . .when you finish the second "one", then the trigger should be released. Going longer than 1 second can cause the shakes too. Focus on just the finger movement when squeezing the trigger.
Is it still just the 50 yard shots that are giving you trouble? The shorter shots are OK?
I'd rather wear out than rust out.
Perception trumps intention.

I have wanted to test mecanical broadhead, the only thing I`am worried about is that they destroys meat. Maybe I`m wrong abut that but the standard broadhead I used last year did a lot of mess, it went through the heart and broke the front leg on the other side. Maybe it was the leg that did the mess I dont know.

I will try some new shoots today just to see, its not blowing outside today so maybe that will help. Not holding so hard should be tested.
also make sure you follow through with your shot when you shoot and what I mean by follow through is when you shoot try to see the arrow hit the target through the scope. many times we can get in a hurry to see the arrow in the target or see the reaction of the deer and we lower the bow or pull it to the side too quickly and cause the shot to miss the intended target so keep your cheek on the stock and try to see the arrow hit the target through the scope this could all be caused by shooting technique and that is why when I am teaching someone to shoot I am usually watching the shooter himself and his form more than paying attention to the target so I know if he is making any mistakes. we are usually the cause of most of our own problems at least thats how it goes for me
