Chef Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 So I I've In westchester and sight my bow in my back yard, I have one pin that works anywhere between 10 and 20 yards, my next pin I brought close enough that I hit one bullseye higher on the target when I am standing at 20 yards I figure this should work from 25 to 30 but I'm not sure any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notasheep Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 i know its an issue but i would shoot it at those distances instead of guessing.your draw weight,arrow flight all come into play...the arrow will drop exponentially as it loses energy.also arrow flight issues are magnified at longer distances.

shawnhu Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Each bow is different, and the front and rear sight will make a difference. For example, my bow shoots at 216 fps, and 10-20 yard pins are close together. I could probably use the same pin, but I have 5 pins so why not. My 20-30 yard pins are pretty spread apart, arrow is no longer ascending, but descending. Same with 30-40 and 40-50. Arrow FOC also plays a role in how fast an arrow drops, an arrow with higher FOC will likely drop faster, especially with BH. This is IMO, take it for what it's worth.

nybuckboy Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 If the 1 pin works for 20 yds then just use the 1 pin and don't take longer shots. Sight is perfect at 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 You're close enough to Blue Mountain. Why don't you head there? If you have 2 pins, sight one at 20 and one at 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Elmo your right I was kinda just being lazy but I also work weird hours and can't always make it there and was trying to take a shortcut. But blue MTN is still 30 min from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 with 2 pins, I would consider 20 and 35. You can hold the 35 low at 30 and high at 40. - still on deer body with both, I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
