The sound of the string, past 50 yards, will be heard by the deer before the bolt makes impact.
Therefore, there’s a good chance that the deer will jump the string resulting in a miss or a non-lethal hit.
The speed of sound governs your accuracy.

Ask Parker if there is an authorized service provider in your area to make such repairs. If so, that provider should look at your crossbow to determine what needs to be ordered to complete the repairs.
JUMPED THE STRING
The buck was 40-42 yds away and quartered away. I squeezed off the shot, THWACK, the buck turned off the line and ran like his butt had been painted
with turpentine. :bolt: The bolt just missed. Oh well, next time may be better.
I have both a block crossbow target and a Morrell. I do not like the block target at all. The Morrell stops the bolts better and extraction of same is easier. Check out www.WilderLogArchers.com and look at their stands. I have one and it fits the bill. I plan to modify the stand to put gun...
The archery folks at BPS tell me that it is a waste of $$ putting that system on your cross-bow. I've been hunting with my TenPoint for six seasons now and never worried about the string noise because the bolt always found its mark.
I believe a new string is in order. I shoot my bow hundreds of times a year and replace the string every three years. When waxing the string, take the tension off and use a hair dryer to melt the wax all the way through the string. Then a light maintenance coating of wax will suffice every...
When you say "too wide" do you mean that the fletching is dragging on the bottom of the channel? If so, check to make sure your bolts were designed for the brand of crossbow you are using. A problem like you are describing is rare.
I wholeheartedly agree. I too have a TenPoint and have taken deer with it for the past four seasons. TenPoint is, IMHO, the top shelf brand in the crossbow industry.
