RE: Straight Down 5 yard bow shot
Yup, these guys have it.
The apex of your arrow trajectory, depending on your particular setup, is generally 10-12yds. Anything further than that is what you have your normal pin spacing for. Anything closer than that is where you start to have to use your longer distance pins to compensate for the "upward" path of the arrow on the way to the apex.
No one can tell you exactly what distance pin to use at close yardage because that will be very dependent on your peep height, anchor point, eye-to-pin distance, etc.... The best way is to start at 10yds and work your way in and note to yourself what distance pins work for close yardage. "ok, my 25yd pin is dead on at 6yds, my 35yd pin is good for 3yds....." Be aware that for each yard you get closer to the target before the apex, the correct long range pin distance gets wider and wider. In that I mean for example, the 8yd=12yd, 7yd=15yd, 6yd=20yd, 5yd=27yd, 4yd=37yd, 3yd=50yd, etc....
Best of luck-
