NO

there is no 100yd shots on animals around here.

I'm talking about getting to the point that a 20-30yd shot is nothing, this is achieved by long range shooting.

At 100yd there would not even be enough KE to penetrate the hide !! at least on my bow
Good to hear that you wouldn't consider a shot at long distance at an animal. As to the "not enough energy thing," keep thinking that, it's healthy, regardless of how wrong it may be it's healthy to thing that for the sake of the animals. Actually an arrow will retain about 80% of it's energy at 100yds, which in the case of MANY of us here would still be plenty of energy for a kill, IF THE SHOT HIT WHERE IT WERE SUPPOSED TO. That being said, I know that I will personally NEVER attempt anything that long, but I do know there are some western hunters that would, Pete Shepley comes to mind pretty quickly for one.

Now as to the rest of the stuff you posted, Tru-Glo $20 sight, I'd like to know what point you aim with to be able to shoot that far????? Do you put the bottom of the pin housing 4 or 5ft above the target????

I think you need to do a little research, learn a little more about arrow ballistics and trajectory, sight parallax, etc, before you post too much BS and get yourself laughed off of HNI. Welcome to HNI, but don't come trying to "Baffle people with Bull" when you are dealing with some very experienced archers, including a few here (not me) who have shot at some of the highest level tournaments in the country. Sit back, read and learn a bit, it will help rebuild your credibility a bit.
