RE: One pin for hunting?????
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>got a question guys. about how many fps would your bow have to be shootin in order to shoot 1 pin from say 15yds out to 30yds? I know my darton shoots fast enough at 270 fps, but what about my G/E it shoots 245 fps? would that be fast enough for onr pin out to 30yds?

You can shoot one pin at any speed. It just requires a slightly different hold at each distance. You might want to try this. Draw a "T" on your target. Aim for the top of the "T" at the intersection at 5 yards. Note where you hit and then move back 5 yards, do the same here, making sure to actually measure how far above or below the "T" you hit. Do this in 5 yard increments until your as far back as you'll ever shoot. You may want to repeat this a few times or shoot groups to get an average. You will then know how far above or below to hold at the different distances. If you have to hold 6" high at 30 yards, that's pretty easy to estimate accurately enough. The only real experimentation is figuring what exact yardage you prefer to set the one pin at. I like it so, that my slam dunk shots (under the tree) can be taken with the pin held right on, or held only an 1" high.
Tazman you're right, it is easy to adjust to, and decision making with a large buck in front of you becomes much easier.
