Howdy,

I am new to bowhunting. I have been a rifle/shotgun hunter for a few years now for the hogs/turkeys/blacktails here in California.

I purchased my first bow a couple of weeks ago and I love how much fun it has been to practice with it. I plan to get ready for deer season here from august through november.

My question is: what is the maximum range you would shoot at a deer, assuming that it is a clear shot. my bow has a 60-70 draw weight (that's what is stamped on it). I have been consistently breaking hangingclay pigeons from about 25 yards. This is with the top pin of my sight dead on, so I am assuming that I want to move this pin up to about a 15 yard range? And use the other two to get a bead on ranges of say 25, 30 yards? (Depending on the max shot distance for my bow).

Thanks for all the help,

Dan Rotlisberger
