Scope Rails
Are the holes a standard distance apart on a rail? Do they come in different lengths?
I have a Barnett crossbow and cannot move the scope far enough forward. My cheek bone is about far back as the butt plate [:(][:(]

It all depends on what rail you have. Either a Weaver style, where there are only two or four slot locations, or the Picatinny, where there are slots about every 1/2 inch. 0 -
The slot spacings are all the same. Aim sells rail blanks 0 -

Perhaps I wasn't clear in my OP. It's whether the distance between the mounting holes used to secure the rail to the weapon is standardized or not.0 -
As an alternative, some ring makers offer rings that will allow you to mount the scope further forward or back depending on how you set the rings. Maybe that would give you enough eye relief. 0 -
adding spacers between the butt plate and stock is another option.
The material that flip-flops are made of works fine.0 -

No, the spacing between holes is not standard across the board. There are two basic versions of slots; Picatinney and Weaver. Then there are rails which fit specific hole spacing for specific firearms such as Remington, Browning, Savage, etc.
Your best choice may be to select a rail which is blank and let a machinist or gunsmith add the holes with the proper counter bore in the right spots for your crossbow.
Or as suggested, make a longer length of pull by adding material to the buttstock.

The rails I was referring to are blank and have to be drilled to match the holes on your gun. EGW has mounts pre drilled to match many models of guns 0 -
