How Accurate is Bow or Crossbow

I dont see any logic behind a crossbow losing KE or FPS faster than a compound bow. 150 lbs versus lets say 70 lb. That alone would debunk that theory for me.

over the last four years, my archery groups have expanded. I used to put three arrows in a 20 ounce bottle cap at twenty yards all day long. Now, at twenty yards i hold about an inch and a half to two inches. My vision in my right eye gets blurrier every day!
I can shoot a pistol pretty well, maybe in the top 25% of shooters. I am more accurate with my bow than a pistol. and you can give me a scoped rifle, and offhand, I bet i shoot my bow better, i dont care what the yardage is.

I have never shot a crossbow, so I cant give any input on them.

I bought a crossbow to hunt with last deer season. At 25 yards I was shooting at different spots on the target. If I aimed for the main bullseye, I was hitting the prviously fired bolt. At 50 yards they were within an inch of each other. The bow is a Barnett with 320FPS rating.
I found the pic. This grouping is the norm at 50 yards.
