You gotta account for the human animal though Todd...
You figure a pretty good.... or in my experience better than average bow shooter will shoot 2" groups at 20 yards and 3" groups at 30 yards. Thats an average... there are far better and far worse.... I know I drift on both sides of that line sometimes.
So for someone to claim that they only have an inch and change of drop from 20 to 30.... well... given an average shooter.... its easy enough to see why....
If we were all shooting deer from a hooter shooter... then we'd all be calling BS.
To the topic at hand here.... I'm shooting a Mathews Drenalin... 29" 61#s with a Maxima Hunter 250 at 263fps.
My '20' yard setting on my HHA is actually about 1" high at 20 yards because I tend to aim with the top of my pin at 20 yards (I'm strange... don't ask). At thirty yards.... I'm about 3-4" low.... at 35... I'm pushing 5-6"...
I use my 20 yard setting all the way back to 35... which is usually about as far as I can ever see anyway. Any farther than that... I'll use the laser and move the slider.
