RE: expectations
Like most of these guys, I've been around the block a few times over the last 35 years of shooting. Tell ya what. For the well being of the deer, the sport and your own piece of mind you only need one pin for bowhunting most whitetails. That's the first one on your sight set for 25 yards.
Seriously, it's supposed to be a close range sport. I think that is something we learn as we do this longer. We're more apt to push the limits the younger we are. With more experience we leearn to tone things down. And this applies to a lot of things in life.
