RE: From which direction do you put the pin on target?
I come from the top down. I was coming up from the bottom until I went to a 3-D course and met some online freinds there. They watched me shoot and suggested I try it. I went from 6' s and 8' s to 8' s and 10' s just like that. Since most targets and hunting shots are 30 yards or less, I line up my shot by dropping the sight pins in line with my target. This gives me a perfect line up for left or right. Then I just ease down to the right pin, let it float for a second and squeeze the release. It has worked pretty well for me. Just my .02 cents worth.
