Hey,Stealth,there are a lot of target archers here.I am one.Accuracy is my main concern.ALL scope and slide bar users(such as I) move there anchor if you really want to call it that.Even Jeff Hopkins,Dave Cousins,Burley Hall,Tom Crowe,Eric Griggs,Mike Braden,Nathan Brooks and the list goes on and on.These are some of the best in the world.I have shot with some of these.Not saying that I'm in the same class because that would be a bold face lie.The point is that they have achieved some pretty amazing accuracy by shooting a floating anchor.They all use a movable sight and by what some seem to think here is that moves your anchor too much for target archery.This is just a crazy thought.The relationship between the pin and peep will always stay the same,it is just a matter of centering.
Arthur,I feel the same way about saying you have a kill zone of 9" as you do to using light arrows.There are a lot of things that can go wrong in the woods.If a person has a 5" group(well within the 9" kill) at 30 yards and shoots at a 34 yard deer thinking it's 30,they have just wounded the deer to not recover it or missed,or got lucky(no room for luck in my book).Most all will have a 1" drop per yard of misjudgement.On the other hand if you have a 2" group at 30 and miss by 4 yards,provided you shoot center lung,as I do,You have just drilled the deer thru the heart and low lung.What I'm trying to say is for every yard around 30 that is misjudged it adds about 1" to your group,but to the low or high side,according to wether or not you judged short or long.Thank goodness for rangefinders.
Besides,if you shoot the little ones like me,you only have a 6" kill.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
