Default RE: String jumping..where do you aim?

Thanks for the input all.

I have discussed this issue with many of my Texas hunting buddies over the years. If a pole were taken reguarding how much you should compensate, the average would probably be somewhere between 4 and 8 inches. This has been my experience, the impact point is usually 6 or so inches above the aim point. This only applies to shots between say 15 to 25/28 yards. I don't make a habit of shooting much beyond that but when the deer are outside of 30 yards they don't seem to react to the string much. If the woods are noisy I generaly don't compensate as much.

One thing we do here in Texas is hunt over feeders. I think when the deer are around those feeders I think they are naturally a little wired to start with. This may be the best explaination for what we see down here....Good hunting all...Fletch
