bows aren't lasers, they may shoot "flat enough" for some people over those distances, but to say they shoot the same from 0-30 is wrong.
Exactly, bows do not shoot the same (I'm assuming you mean same pin) from 0-30.

People using one pin 0-30 do so knowing the bow shoots high at 10 and low at 30 when sighting in one pin.

0-40 would even need more compensation.
not in my case. I'm 0-30 and it shoots just slightly and I mean just slightly by maybe a 1/2" at 10 and is money the rest of the way. Then I have another 40 and a 50
Unless your arrow can defy gravity it's path will be in the shape of a parabola. Your line of sight is of course a stright line. A straight line will intersect a parabola at 2 locations. Like I explained before, one on the way "up" and the other on the way "down" relative to your line of sight (los). Everything off those 2 points will be above or below your los. The amount it's above or below may not be significant to you. What you call money is simply acceptable error.
