Default RE: Maybe There is Something to This Heavy Arrow Thing

Well, I just got back from the archery range. Couldn't help but notice that when I aimed at the 20 yard target with the 20 yard pin, these arrows (502 grains with a 100 grain field tip) hit right where the 30 yard pin was looking. I began to work my way back. The 40 yard pin was right on the moneyat 30 yards. The 50 yard pin was only a couple inches highat 40 yards. And the 60 yard pin was only a inch low for 50 yards.

So without moving the sight - what I had previously zeroed for 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 with393 grain arrows; is now 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 for 502 grain arrows. This could work. I'm only planning on using the heavier arrows for elk. Now I just need to reprogram my brain that the middlegreen dot is30, not40 . . . .
