Wayne B., I just went back and reread ArthurP`s original post. Nowhere in his post does he even hint about anyone using one pin! What he does talk about is people who think speed alone can buy them a big margin of error savings. It cannot! That is what I got out of his post.
Next, you have treestands 30' in the air. So do I, several of mine are in the 30-35' range, and 30 yds. does`nt look like a mile to me.
In all my posts on this thread, I certainly never put down anybody who uses one pin. I USE ONE PIN! What I did say(or try to)is that there are many rookies, wannabes, whatever you wish to call them that think that a high speed rig shoots flat as a rifle. It just ain`t so. I will post the results of my little test on monday night, or tuesday night.
I can tell you now, before I get the test results that no matter how fast you are shooting, when you get to the 35yd. and out range, even with a bow going 290fps in hunting trim, you better be within 2 or 3 yds. of your yardage guess. If not, you are going to have a problem, and that is if you held in the exact spot you wanted to hit, and made a flawless release. Let that arrow go when you are not on the right spot, now we have BIG problems.
I wish you would go back and reread what ArthurP posted, with an open mind, and I think you will see that he was`nt trying to bash anyone who shoots a fast bow, or one pin. Just the guys that think a fast bow is a replacement for practice, practice, practice!
I`ll get the results up as quick as I can.

And BTW, I would have to actually go count them, but off the top of my head I have at least ten bows that are 1999 models or newer. Only three are 2002 models...guess I`m slowing down a little bit!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
