Default RE: in for any distance question in pin yardage

As everyone has said the only way to really find out where to aim is to shoot it. Aim right at the spot for the shorter targets and that will tell how much lower you will have to aim at any given distance. For an instance , on the NFAA Birdie shot , they are shot from 35 ft, 30 ft, 25 ft, and 20 ft, one arrow from each distance. On the 35 ft shot I aim at the bottom of spot. For the 30 and 25 ft shot I aim dead on but for the 20 ft. I have to split my 20 and 30 yard pins. Now if you really want to get close shot , shoot from say 6 ft away. We have had a 3-D target set that close and you would be suprised how many people didnt know how to shoot one that close. For a target that close I have to use my 60 yard pin.
