Made it out to Middletown to a little spot/pro shop with an outdoor range to sight in my crossbow (Barnett C5 wildcat, my first foray into hunting without the use of combustibles).
My C5 came with a scope that's got multiple horizontal lines arrayed so as to give you more crosshairs to use at different ranges.
So when I sighted it in at 20 meters, my crosshairs read as such:
- Dead on at 10 to 20 meters,
- Negligibly close at 30,
- 4 inches high at 40 (I'm thinking neglibly close at 45)
- 3 high at 50
- 6 low at 60.
Anybody else getting similar results? I'm pretty sure that, while the bow is really fast, the arrow trajectory must be ridiculous at 50-60 meters.. So at what range do you sight in your crossbows, and how far are you anticipating being willing/able to shoot?
