Improving crossbow accuracy at 50 yards Canada

Sharpening Your Shot: Improving Crossbow Accuracy at 50 Yards in Canada

For many Canadian hunters, 50 yards represents the extended edge of their ethical shooting range with a crossbow. While modern crossbows are incredibly precise, achieving consistent accuracy at this distance requires more than just a good setup; it demands attention to detail, consistent technique, and optimized gear. At Crossbow Shop Canada, we’re committed to helping you tighten those groups and build confidence for those longer shots that count.

Improving your crossbow’s accuracy at 50 yards isn’t about one magic fix, but rather a combination of factors. Here’s how to dial in your precision:

1. Master Your Shooting Form and Technique

Human error is often the biggest culprit behind inaccuracies at longer ranges. Every shot must be as consistent as possible.

  • Consistent Grip & Hold: Hold the crossbow firmly but not with a death grip that introduces torque. Ensure your hand placement on the foregrip is consistent every time. Use the same pressure to pull the stock into your shoulder.
  • Proper Stance: A stable shooting platform is paramount. Whether standing, kneeling, or sitting, ensure your body is balanced and your stance is repeatable. If possible, use a rest (shooting sticks, bipod, or treestand rail) for maximum stability.
  • Level Your Crossbow (Canting): One of the most common mistakes is “canting” – tilting the crossbow left or right. Even a slight cant at 50 yards can result in significant misses. Use a scope level or an integrated crossbow level to ensure your bow is perfectly level for every shot. Uneven terrain (common in Canadian hunting) can easily trick your eye into canting.
  • Smooth Trigger Control: Squeeze the trigger slowly and deliberately, rather than jerking or pulling it. A clean break from the trigger finger minimizes movement of the crossbow during the critical moment of release. Practice dry firing (safely, with a discharge target) to perfect your trigger pull.
  • Follow Through: After the shot, continue to hold your aiming point until the bolt impacts the target.1 Don’t immediately drop the crossbow or lift your head. This reinforces good form and prevents post-shot movement that can affect accuracy.
  • Consistent Cocking: Ensure your crossbow is cocked perfectly straight every time, with the serving centered in the trigger mechanism. An off-center string, even by a fraction of an inch, can lead to horizontal inaccuracies that are magnified at 50 yards. A quality rope cocker or integrated crank system (like TenPoint’s ACUdraw or Ravin’s VersaDraw) helps ensure this consistency.2

2. Optimize Your Crossbow and Accessories

Your equipment must be in top condition and properly matched.

  • Inspect All Components: Regularly check all screws and bolts for tightness – especially scope mounts, limb bolts, and the riser attachment. Vibrations from shooting can cause components to loosen over time, leading to inconsistent accuracy.
  • Maintain String and Rail: Apply rail lube and string wax regularly (every 25-50 shots or after exposure to moisture). A well-lubricated rail reduces friction and wear on the serving, ensuring smooth, consistent bolt launch.3 Proper string wax prevents fraying and maintains string integrity.4
  • High-Quality Bolts: This is a game-changer at 50 yards.
    • Straightness: Invest in .001″ or .003″ straightness tolerance bolts. Even minor deviations in straightness are magnified downrange.
    • Weight Consistency: Use bolts from the same batch with minimal weight variation (+/- 1 grain is ideal). Inconsistent weight leads to varying trajectories.
    • Correct Spine: Ensure your bolts have the correct spine (stiffness) for your crossbow’s speed and draw weight. Using bolts with an incorrect spine can lead to erratic flight.5
    • Matched Nocks: Use only the nock type recommended by your crossbow manufacturer.
  • Broadhead Selection & Tuning:
    • High-Speed Specific Broadheads: For mechanical broadheads, choose models designed for high-velocity crossbows (e.g., Rage Hypodermic NC, Grim Reaper CrossBow, Ravin Titanium/Steel Broadheads).6 These have aerodynamic designs that prevent planing.
    • Practice with Hunting Setup: Always practice with the exact same bolts and broadheads you intend to hunt with at 50 yards. Broadheads, even mechanicals, can fly differently than field points.7 Some broadheads offer practice versions that mimic flight without dulling blades.
  • Optics:
    • Clear, High-Quality Scope: A bright, clear scope with a reliable reticle (multi-reticle or speed-calibrated) is essential. Scopes like the Vortex Crossfire II Crossbow Scope or Hawke XB30 offer excellent clarity and adjustability.8
    • Zeroing: Fine-tune your scope meticulously. Start at 20 yards, then move back to 30, 40, and finally 50 yards. Make small, precise adjustments. If your scope has a speed adjustment, ensure it’s set correctly for your specific bolt and broadhead combination.
    • Rangefinder: A quality rangefinder is non-negotiable for 50-yard accuracy. Knowing the exact distance prevents guessing and ensures you use the correct aiming point on your reticle. Consider a rangefinding scope like the Garmin Xero X1i for ultimate precision.
  • Stabilization: While not as common on crossbows as vertical bows, some crossbows can benefit from stabilizers to reduce torque and dampen vibrations, especially those with Picatinny rails for accessory attachment.

3. Account for Environmental Factors in Canada

Canadian hunting conditions often present unique challenges that impact accuracy at 50 yards.

  • Wind: Wind is a major factor at longer ranges. Practice shooting in varying wind conditions to understand how much your bolts drift. Even a slight crosswind can push a bolt several inches off target at 50 yards. Smaller diameter bolts generally offer less wind resistance.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold can affect string performance (less common with modern materials, but possible) and also impact scope clarity (fogging) or battery life for illuminated reticles/rangefinders. Practice in the conditions you’ll hunt in.
  • Elevation/Angles: Uphill or downhill shots require compensation. Many rangefinders include angle compensation features. Practice shooting from elevated positions (e.g., a treestand simulator) to replicate hunting scenarios.
  • Light Conditions: Ensure your scope has good light-gathering capabilities and an illuminated reticle for low-light situations common during prime hunting hours.
