I know there are some target archers on here, so can you help me out. I know quite a bit about the sport, been at it a while and have allot of the "do it yourself" toys,... but have never "delved" into the target bow end whatsoever, even from a "curious" standpoint. For the second time in 5 years since moving to Rochester I joined a indoor winter league two weeks ago. Same archery shop I shot at the first time, but they only had a 20 yard line the first league two years ago. Well,...this year he changed the league to shooting 1/2 the round at 20yds and 1/2 the round at 24yds(against the wall). I shot late last night and the 7PM group showed up when I was about finished. Some guys had the Sure Shot(?) sights that sit WAY out front of the bow with moveable sight pins. I know most indoor places, and the 3D shoots separate archers into the divisions. Having a single pin and being able to move that pin at different yardages has obvious advantages to me. The fixed pin shooter is struggling with another mental "fine point" with a fixed 20 yard pin in having to concentrate on aiming high when at 24 yds. It has a clear affect on the 2nd half of my round at least!
What other advantages do these sights have? Is there an advantage to the sight being WAY out front? Can someone explain? Thanks!
