Thanks GMMAT. Before we get all this nonsense started lol!
I shot my X6 at 340fps and did the whole "1 pin out to 30yds" thing. I had my pin set at 20 and tried it. At 30, it was a few inches low on my yellow jacket. Could have killed the deer yes, but still a few inches low.
At 40! Didnt even hit the bag...
So I did it with my 30 pin. about 2" high at 20, and 5" low at 40.
Compensating with the 30 wouldnt be too bad, but with the 20, nooooo way!!!
BTW, I drew back on a deer yesterday with my Omen
I was ready to send my 530gr. 2514 her way but unfortunately they came in down wind(probably trailed me up out of curiosity) and only came within 40 yards. The bow shoots just as well as any other setup that ive shot at hunting distances. I have yet to shoot it out at 60-70(only have my furthest pin out to 40 as of now) but I imagine it will hold its own. I was shooting on average 5-7" groups(including flyers on my good days) with my X6 at 60 yards so I imagine with the Omen the groups wouldnt be much worse if any.
