If he was at thirty yards and you split your 20 and 30 yard pin how did you shoot over top of him? Not being critical just wondering. Sounds like a rangefinder would help you out.

I had to go with the Keller sight! I found out that in the midst of all the excitement of the hunt that I'd lose focus about ensuring yardage, which pin to pick, splitting pins, hold the pin high, or I can't SEE my pins worth a &%@9 so I went with the Keller and never regretted it! Just 1 LESS thing to have to worry about. Took me about 15 mins to sight in that sight and one I did I was right on out to about 30 yds! Its doesn't get any better than that and I've never shot high or low since. Its always on the money that sight! It even comes with a nice red light that illuminates the pin well!
Only 1 pin to worry about! Its great and NO - I am not a sales rep for Keller!

Welcome to archery hunting...

There isn't many archers out there that can say they have never missed a shot (I know I'll get hammered for that comment).

Just be happy it was a clean miss. Years ago I made a terrible shot on a cow elk (gut shot) and never found her. I'm still sick with the memory. It almost made me quit archery hunting.

Justlook at it as a learning experience.

Trust me, a rangefinder WILL NOT help you if you split the difference between your 20 and 30 yard pins, he was 30 yards away, and you still shot over him.....we all get buck fever and its part of the reason we hunt. Yes, be glad it was a clean miss
