Default Speed bow shooters, question about pins?

On my new bow, my 20 yd and 30 yd pins are almost the same, so close in fact that I can not see between them at full draw.

My question is, should I make my top pin a 0-30 yd pin and try to remember to aim just a hair lower when the moment of truth comes at 15 yds?

With my old bow, there was enough distance between the two to not confuse the issue, plus I rarely shot at a deer over 25 yds and if I did take a 25 yd shot I held my 20 pin high.

Could yall remember details such as that at the moment of truth? I really don't think it will matter that much. If I use my 30 yd pin at 10 yds I am still inside the circle at the top.

Am I making this too complicated by being too precise?

Set your first pin at 25-27(this should carry 30 as well).Don't wory about remembering to aim low.You will hit slightly higher at 15-20 and on the closer shots from a stand,you want to be slightly higher, so just hold for the middle and forget about it.


OR,if possible,extend the sight out further.That will open your pin gap up.


EDITED,I typed like Germ there for a moment[8D]

Not a big fan of sight extensions, but I've never used one.

I am thinking of just making my top pin 0-30 but I want to hear everyone's pros and cons on this.

You had a sight extension Jeff. The closer the sight is to the riser the tighter the pins get. The further out/gapping the more accurate you can be.

cons: you won't be as accurate. You'll still be holding your pin high or low depending. Ask huntingson, he only had a 30 on his bow at the HNI Northeast shoot out, it wasn't working out that well for him.

I'm not sure what your interested in there. ?

Are you interested in pin gap or to see where the arrow hits in relativity between the out vs in?

Yes.

To make it better.....shoot 3 ea from the out position at 20 and 30 yds.

Shoot 3 ea from the in position at 20 and 30 yds.

Just interested. use your 82nd.
