so I took GR8's advice and got an HHA. I got the Optimizer 5500 with the rheostat. WOW what a great sight. 5 feet of fiber optic wrapped around the sight. It's unbelievable the amount of light that thing pulls in.
HOLY CRAP! Someone took my advice...WOW glad you like it Rem..you may be a first....EVER. lol
Don't I feel special!! Don't let it go to your head!!

I use no pins on my trad bows. I shot them instinctive. My compound has5 pins, 20 yard through 60 yards. And I use them all. Where I hunt is a lot of open country. Most of my shots are 35 yards in, but every now and then I have to use the others. My furthest deer kill has been between 45 yards to 50 yards, but ive taken hogs out to 60 yards a couple of times.

I shoot one pin. I have an Impact Cosmic which is also adjustable but I don't adjust it. I'm able to shoot out to 40 yds sighted in at about 25 yds.

Ihold low body at 20 or less, mid bodyat 30, and top of body at 40 yards and still hit at all ranges sucessfully. I do use a rangefinder to insure I know my distances in hunting situations too.

250fps and you shoot one pin to 40 yds "aiming dead on"????

Riiiiighhht.

Remember I shoot a pendulum! Why would i have any reason to lie anyway?????????

250 fps....I know that is not that fast, but it gets hard to pull back in January with a lot of clothes on. The last thing i want is for a big buck to walk by and not be able to pull my bow back.

I shot a pendulum at 370 fps this summer, experimenting with every conceivable variable, and it STILL wasn'tcompensating enough to shoot from zero-40.

I just scrapped the pendulum and went to a straight pin sight. I have one pin to 45 yards, but Istill have to play a fudge-factor game with it. That pin is zero'ed at 25 yards. At 35, I'm holding my first pin5" hot. At 40, I'm holding the 45 yard pin just a few inches low.

I know, a lot of you guys will call B.S. on the 370 number, so here's the proof.
