I agree the 27 is normally enough, but occasionally I have the opportunity and have shot a couple of deer at 29-32 yds. What type of sight are you using that has the extra pins and do you have to reach up and lock down the pendulum in order to use them? I would like that extra movement once I realized the deer wasnt going to come inside of my 26 yd range. I can get my speed up to 285, by shooting lighter arrows but dont really want to go that route.
