Default yardaged help

I have bow sights set at 10, 20, 30. How much do decide to higher the sight say if the deer is at 15 yards? At 10 going to be short but 20 going to be to much. I know wont be much because I know with my bow it pretty much hits the same from 10-20.

Just aim between your pins. that should put you where you need to be!

Exactly,

deerhunter1224, just gap your pins, like you already said, your 10 high, your 20 low. Put an imaginary pin between your two.

One thing I want to ask, how fast is your bow. All my bows in the past 10 plus years, using my 20 yard pin at 10 yards, I hit one inch high.

If yours is much more, I'd put your pins at 15 and 20 etc...I'd bet your 15 would be dead on or adequate at 10 yards.

I love the in-between shots! It gives me two reference points, line 'er up between the 10 and 20 pins and let 'er rip!

MJ1~~ I watched the video, but that is not the way I would suggest anyone to hunt?? I mean sure it works but wow talk about a fine line between a good shot and a disaster? I am sure Im like a lot of other people here that like to have a 1''-2'' margin for error in the middle of the deer not 9''! But hey I guess its whatever works for ya you know. Gd Luck!

I used to have a 10-20-30 yard pin! This year I got rid of the 10, because the 20 works well enough from 0-20, and I'll never shoot past 30!! 2 pins, less clutter, problem solved!! If I have one at 25, I just shoot the gap between the 2!!!
