Thanks for responding. In reply to your statement that every yard matters is true at 40yds+. But when talking 30yds or less, Which was the question, any modern compound bow at 60+lbs tuned to proper arrows and with sight pin set at 20yds would be well within kill zone from 0 to 30yds. Therefore no need for 3 or 4 pins to set for such close distances because they can confuse you especially when ones excitement level is high as that big old buck approaches you. I have found that to be the case in the past. One is much better off if he practices this way on the range as in the field. It is a very calming effect when an animal approaches and all you have to think about is one pin and where you' re going to place it. On the other hand a rangefinder is an effective tool. I own one as well but rarely ever take it with me while hunting. I' ve had one for 6yrs now and early on always took it hunting with me and can honestly say it has never aided me in taking any animal in a hunting situation. But I can tell you if you' ll take it in the woods with you before hunting seaons and practice at various distances it will sharpen your skills tremendously and it' ll give you confidence that this one pin setup can be deadly and won' t let you down. This is not meant for debate,merely an opinion.Plus I' m off work today and was bored. lol. elknut1.
