Default 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 &quot;T&quot; on your target. Aim for the top of the &quot;T&quot; 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 &quot;T&quot; 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&quot; 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&quot; 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.
