2" sure wouldn't matter, and there would be no need for multiple pins. Not many bow hunters shoot past that.
Because most bows out there aren't that fast. The IBO speed's you see advertised are highly exaggerated because of how those IBO speeds are obtained. AMO speeds (which aren't published all too often) are more realistic speeds of bows fitted up with hunting arrows. Therefor you have more drop with those. The 2 bows I am referring to of mine are top of the line speed burners that your average hunters couldn't shoot accurately if their life depended on it without LONG hours of practice because they are extremely unforgiving. Very shallow Brace height highly exaggerates any fault in your form because the arrow is on the string longer after release than average hunting bows. A good range finder is always a good thing to have since in the heat of the moment, pinpointing range can be difficult even for the most accomplished of archers.
Basically when I was commenting on what Bob said, I was pointing out that as usual his "facts" were not up to snuff as there are many bows out there that shoot flat enough to make his statement of it being "ludicrous" incorrect.
