I love watching guys at 3D shoots put their shots in the dirt below the 3 yard squirrel target. Everyone assumes it's a slam dunk.

At 3 yards I actually set my sight for 60 yards. It's the archers paradox of the arrow coming up to meet your sight plane. At 3 yards it's still coming up and hasn't crossed the plane of your 20 yard pin.

Thanks KA. Given that info then aiming slightly higher was the correct thing to do. Apparently though, i over corrected since i spined him
