Too many variables for this to be taken as anything more than putting you in the ball park.... but no guarantees. You have different draw lengths and different sized critters. An 80 pound doe isn't going to fit in this baby the same as a 200 pound macho buck. If you really got to have something like this you'd be better off making your own. By the time you got through with it and testing...you'd be an expert at judging distances out to 30 yards.

Pete....just like they did. They assume a deers measurement from top of the back to the belly. Then you get something or make a cut out that's that deep, say 16 inches. You measure off 20, 30 etc. Put some tape on your sight picture. Place a top line(their green) stand at each yardage and draw. Place the top line on the top of your 16 inch target and see where the bottom of the target is on your tape...draw another line..that's that distance. Do it for all the required distances.

I think you taking the tradition out of bowhunting. Practice and know your distance, part of being a bow hunter

It's probably easier to just look at the blasted deer and say "well, that looks like 20 yards." Save the 10 bucks to spend on a strangegirl at a bar or get yourself a lapdance.
