Accurate to ??? feet? Can anyone tell me how far this bow is accurate to?

Another hunting article I read indicated that a 55-60# draw weight was good for a 30-yard kill, whereas a 70# draw weight would be better for a 50-60-yard kill. With these ratings, the 25# draw weight of the Banshee might only be accurate to 10 yards. The design of the Banshee is simplistic, even by recurve standards, and you will have to work with it a while to get anything further (accuracy-wise) out of it. I will be buying one as my son's first compound bow; he has been practicing with a Bear student straight bow I've had for 30 years. If he likes it, maybe next year I'll move him into a $200 model.

i have shots as clsoe as 3 or 4 feet. The problem is the distant shots. it's difficult to spot and evaluate deer size targets at much past 50 yards.

Depends on how far your comfortable taking a shot. The range finder is accurate to within a few yards. I measured it against known distances. For me I will not taken a shot longer than 300 yards.

6 to 90. My 8 year old daughter does fine with this bow. When adjusted under 25 pounds, the sight is not useable at ranges over 10 yards unless you use a very light arrow. It is now adjusted for my 12 year old daughter to 35 pounds. It shoots a light carbon arrow pretty fast. I am 60 years old and shoot it often.

may be 6 feet, not very far. Not accurate at all. It is all over the place. The scope is totally useless. Just for look. Don't even have lens. This is a harmless toy though. Not for adult. Kids will love it.

Try sighting in at the 30 yard shot first using the second cross hair. Once you are hitting bullseye at 30 yds, then go back to 20 yd shot and see how arrows are placing?

My bow is 58.25" nock to nock and I use a 55.5" string. I imagine that you would use a 67" string.

My bow is a high country about 15 years old it is set t 50lbs. It absolutely destroys wheen it hits. Yes I reccomend.

It is very close to being 10 feet long. It may vary by 1 inch here and there, but it's pretty accurate

these bows are 47 inches when strung. I bought two, for a 13 yr old grand daughter and a 8 year old grandson. They have shot them all year, in fact are shooting them now, and they have been great. Both kids are developing pretty good skills. I set up a twenty yard range with hay bales in the back yard. We're well pleased Jim

Mine is 15'6". The fulcrum is a bit far forward, but if i put heavier things in the bow (paddles, life jackets, etc.), it works fine! Good luck!

I'd say mine is accurate to within 40-50 feet. Good for a pistol or a shotgun, maybe a bull pub rifle. Outside that you can literally twist the sight and watch the red dot make a circle on the wall so I don't think they are very aligned within the housing. However at the distance I mentioned above you can get sighted in decently. Highly suggest if using to approximate the point of aim, that you follow up with a trip to a range to fine tune it.

The range is around 10-15 feet.... it all depend on the bow weight and the child size as well the farther back he or she pulls the farther the arrow fly.Remember the arrows are only 18 inches long The same for the deluxe arrows

Bow has an achievable speed of 285FPS and I would say that is for a 20" arrow. I have no other speed data available. Darrin

Your bow should be fine. I think the response concerning the crossbow was a bit "overstated". I'm shooting a 60# compound w/field tips and they went in 3-5 ". I've taken mine apart after more than 2000 shots and recycled the contents into a replacement bag cover which I highly recommend doing! ;0)

after the mods i made to my bow i would think it could easily slay a fish at close range 15 ft or less with the right arrows the arrows included wont suffice buy some real fishing arrows but i would not suggest any modifications to the bow i took a chance and got lucky so far hope you have fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrows will begin to drop or lose trajectory out of any bow as soon as it is fired, higher energy bows/lighter arrows just cover more ground per inches dropped. If set up following the directions, the HHA will be accurate for your particular arrow speed and bow configuration. The amount of travel or range adjustment will depend on your arrow speed, peep height, etc
