what is the furthest you would shoot
 
Im picking up my new drenalin tomorrow and i know this is premature but i saw a guy named adam smith on lone wolfs whitetail addiction take a buck from 60 yards. the furthest i ever shot with my lx was 43 and and that was with a trophy ridge mantis pendulum sight. i was thinking about going with a 2 pin sight and trying to achieve such distances with alot of practice this summer

You'll need more than 2 pins for that kind of distance.....

3 or 4 pins?

I would suspect 4 if you plan on shooting to 60+ yards.....

I use a single pin slider but have markers from 20-70, increments of 10.

I always shoot out about 50 yards, but I never have shot a deer past 27 yards, oh well.

but if the buck walked within 50 u would feel comfortable taking the shot?

My only question is why do you want to shoot that far?

if im comfortable shooting from there and my bow shoots hard and fast enough why not
