Xbow, WPF effectiveness dropoff, and ghost cavalry ramblings

Over the past few gens, I have noticed a considerable decline in accuracy in the xbow (+3 heavy) after 125 wpf. Although the reticule gets smaller, the trajectory is almost the same, leading to a decrease in accuracy and much frustration when, at 170 wpf you see your bolt veer to the left or right. I was just wondering if there was some kind of incremental chart or formula the devs have showing xbow accuracy  that could verify this or if I should just accept that I'm going crazy.

Sidenot, did the horse hitbox get larger and the rider hitbox get smaller? It seems next to impossible to hit a charging cav without a bolt seemingly going through his upper body, or sticking in to the head of his horse.
