Default 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.....

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.

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