Bowhunting is a LOT of fun. Man it really is I tell ya! Everyone should try it.
How is it I missed this thread? Ben told me about it and I haven't once looked at it. Glad I did.

Several points.

I'm not defending LRarcher because if the name calling, profanities don't cease, he won't be here long.

That said, when I went on my elk hunt, the guy who went with me was a Hoyt dealer and had a 40 target 3D course. Prior to the hunt we'd send Muzzy tipped Beman Trophy Hunters into the 12 ring of a Elk target at 75 yards. We didn't have a pin, we used the housing around our pins for 75 yards.

I'm confident with a pin, I could inconsistently hit a 12 oz can at 100 yards. I'm confident alot of us could but one thing I didn't notice in this post, I may have overlooked it, is the pin configuration. There is no way in hell in a fixed pin Cobra site that there is a 100 yard pin with let's say a 20 yard pin. Maybe irrelevant to the thread. I'm tired, I didn't read it all.

That said, keep it civil guys and to sum up,
