Alright,I just did a parallax and trajectory test for my hunting setup.I am shooting a 418 grain arrow around 250 FPS.My peep is 5.5 above nock (this matters for parallax)

My top pin is sighted for 23 yards.

I have often stated that the apex for a sight zeroed at 25 yards is 13 yards,my findings with this setup are no different.

I was sitting atop an 8' ladder just to simulate some downward angle.


yards...... hit
2........... 3" low
4........... 1" low ( parallax)
6 .......... .25" high
8 ........... .75" high
10 ......... 1" high
12 ......... 2" high ( apex)
14 ......... 1.75" high
16.......... 1.5" high

disclaimer,these are my numbers and will not reflect your numbers,plus,this is me shooting sitting on a small platform of a ladder so the shots weren't pin point accurate but pretty darn close for what we are wanting to see.


You can see why I aim dead center at these close yardages.The trajectory takes care of the compensation for me so I don't even give it a second thought.
