Well, if you have trouble using it, it's no big deal because it only cost $10. Not too bad if you ask me. I might just have to go out and get one.

I have the whitetail deer one. I love it. I think it's well worth the 10 bucks.

Why don't you just make one for free? Or you can just use your pin settings as a referance. That is one of the benifits of using a mulitple pin sight.

What if you buy the 28-30" draw length model and your right on the edge of that. Then you shoot at a deer that is smaller or bigger than what the rangefinder is set to. This two together could probably result in a miss.

It is on the average size. I think it is great. It would be better than guessing.

That is what your sight pins are for aren't they?

Anyhow, I would be leary of relying on something like this. It isn't that hard to judge out to 35 yards is it?

With that said, I walk around everywhere now guessing and checking myself since I got my Nikon. It is always in my pocket, even when I go to work. I am within 2-3 yards every time at 40 and closer. ;)

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.:D:)

how would u be able to make on of those? i mean knowing where the lines go and whatnot?

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 want to make one for Antelope and Deer, they say the width is 17 inches for deer, what do you think for an antelope? 15? or just use the same?

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.

what bar do you go into that gives 10 dollar lap dances?;)
