What do you guys think about this?

It' s a sight mounted label that has lines at different spacings based on your draw length and the average brisket depth of whitetail or elk. You can range animals at full draw to make sure you choose the correct pin.

I use a pendulum, so I pretty much just hold dead on out to 35 yards or so, but this may be good for making sure and animal isn' t too far out. It' s only $10...

Whatchya think?

Why donate the 10 bucks? Just scratch a couple marks on your current site. Use a piece of tape with marks. Or use a multiple pin site.

I don' t know, looks kind of gimmickey to me. It does not take into account the size of the animal, so what may appear as 30 yards for a bruiser buck might show 35 for a smallish doe.

Besides I prefer to have the whole range estimation thing done in my head before I draw. Once one of your eyes is closed, you loose depth perception and are far less accurate at judging distances.

Nub, that' s the first thought that jumped to my mind, but you have to know the forumla to make sure the line gaps are correct. Or have the time to go work it out on your own, if you knew the average top of back to bottom of brisket measurement of deer in your area. The advantage of this concept is it helps you make sure you PICK the right pin on a multi pin set up.

98Redline, I shoot with both eyes open, always, so depth perception is never a problem. They say their average and testing accounts for the differences in deer sizes you state.
