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.
well you 15 calculations are off, I have spoken on the topic enough, today I shoot any way.
So I will be wearing a big grin when I hear that can crush at 10yd.
good luck to all who DARE to venture past 20yd[8D]
Actually you are correct for
once!!!!! Because with your set-up, your eye would be only about 30" from the .029 pin, and going on that figure, the pin would be about
3.494" if you're eye is 30" from the pin. If the pin doesn't look nearly as large as a "coke can" at 100yds, you're not 100yds back yet. I suppose doing some more calculations, it would be very possible, it you were to skip that arrow off the ground just perfectly, that it could hit a target at 100yds, I still would like to see the video.
HEY, thats the number I got! 3.494" or something very very similar...I just figured with the added actual pin around the fiber (fiber being flared out)...that it would be slightly over 3.5". Either way that is a pretty large chunk of that can gone. I too based it on just slightly under 1 yard (36")from eye to pin.
Im not questioning anyone's abilities to shoot 100 yards and hit 10" groups, I'm fairly certain I could do this within the week given my current 50-60 yard shooting.
The ONLY thing I question is how he is getting a regular $20 walmart sight housing to cover pins from 20 to 100...or ANY normal shooting distance to 100....I would think a slider would be needed to accomplish this...I know my Vital Gear fixed pin can no way go to 100. Unless the whole housing is substanstially low only covering the farther distance pins...then I could see it. Im just saying no way does a $20 fixed pin walmart sight have the capabilities to go from 20 to 100 yards. Maybe I am wrong in this?
