I am taking my wife out tonight and we haven't shot her xbow for a few weeks and I am going to check to make sure it is still sighted in before we leave. Do you guys know if I sight it in it will be on for her as well? Like a rifle? I know a compound bow will shoot different for each shooter? She will be home later so I will sight it in for her. Help is appreciated!

I know when I shoot my brothers last year I was off a little. Not much. He wears glasses and I don't. I think everyone looks a little difference through a scope, so maybe. No technical data.

In theory, a rifle will not always be accurate for multiple people. Differences in cheek weld, grip, etc etc. You may never notice at shorter ranges, it will be more apparent with long range.
I would have her shoot it to verify zero.

Roger that. I will have her take a few shots before we leave just to make sure. If I remember correctly she shoots a little right.

I would have her shoot it to verify zero. Exactly. Couldn't have said it better. Case in point, at least rifle anyway. My nephew and a buddy of his both shot 2 of my rifles at 300 yds. yesterday. The POI for me is right on, my nephew was 6" low, 5" right, his buddy was 4" low dead center. Both of them had same impact points for both of the rifles. |

I dont know but when I bought my tenpoint crossbow it was zeroed. Paperwork said factory zeros the bow so I shot it and it was almost perfect for me. Had to make very minor adjustments. My guess is anyone could shoot mine and get on paper.

At 30 yards I had several friends shoot my stryker Xbox at a party last year and all of em 10 ringed the target. I'm sure at extreme distances there'd be some differences but in typical hunting distances should be right on. I'd have her shoot just in case though. Should practice some anyway

I know this was so exciting. I can't wait to see my grandson shoot his first deer. He yelled out with joy when he shot his squirrels and doves. This is the first year that I've sighted in my xbow with broadheads. I really like the engineering of the NAP Spitfire for xbows, but I had assumed that matching the weight would be enough. Not so. I've always been a bit naive. I thought last year when I took the bad shot on the wide 8 in Brownsville that the bolt went 3" right. I thought I had rushed the shot, and did, but for my xbow they do move right. On Trey's xbow they shot low and right, mine seemed to go right and high, but it got dark before we could make any real adjustments. I'm so happy she shot her first deer. She'll be hooked now. |
