RE: Straight Down 5 yard bow shot
shoot it & find out for yourself!!!!
I believe if I were to take a straight down - or nearly straight down at 5 yards I'd hold for 35 yards & hit REAL close to where I'm aiming...
We had numerous shots like this during 3d season - from 1 yard to 10 - and for my setup I needed to shoot 5 yards for 35 - slower bows act differently.
I'd shoot it if I were you!!
Aim small miss small
