Default RE: what is the furthest you would shoot

For those who don't know what pin stacking is, it is where you take your 50 for instance and use it for a 60 yard shot. You do that by placing your 50 where you want to hit, and look at where your 40 is. You then move your 50 to that location, and you then have your 60 yard mark. I like to use the spot-hogg for this as the wire keeps reference to left and right. Also,If a guy wants to experiment, you really have 3 different yardages with each pin depending on wether you center the pin in the peep, or align it with the top or bottom of the peep. A guy would be very surprised at how effective one can become with pins and still be able to aim at the point of impact and not gap the pins.

I would not recommend experimenting with any of the above in the woods while hunting. It has taken years of practice to master these methods. When attending a shoot such as Redding, you can only have 5 pins but shoot up to 100, stacking is the only way one can shoot up to 100 yards with only 5 pins. If too many pins obscures your vision, then stacking may be the way to go. it sure helped put more meat in the freezer this year.
