Hi
A few misses at 80 yards sounds perfectly normal to me! With your 55lb bow you should be able to put the pile of the arrow on the target or only slightly above it. If you are having to aim way over then something is wrong.
Are you anchoring under the chin? If you are using a field style anchor, at the side of the mouth, then long distances are bound to be harder.
At 100 yards I have to pick the top of a tree or a convenient roof top behind the target and aim at that. Consistency is everything. Foot markers help.
