Default RE: long range bow shooting

ORIGINAL: TEmbry

According to some 15 second calculations I did, a .029 sight pin would cover a circle over 3.5" in diameter at 100 yards....anyone in the know, does this sound right? That means you couldn't even see a baseball behind your pin.....you could just barely see a grapefruit around your pin.
That sounds about right. I couldnt imagine using a .029 pin to shoot that distance[:'(]

It really isnt that bad shooting distance with my slider setup and everything on teh bow. I can easily shoot and hit the target well. Not any type of grouping or anything but its not bad to shoot that far.

One of my buddies shot a phone book at 100yds before. He was just using a cheaply setup reflex bow. He did miss about ten times though[:-]
