The truth is Brett......I have NO IDEA what shooting from 2 yds from an elevated platform will produce. I've never done it. I have shot straight down, though.
I never mentioned anything about elevation for Scenario No. 1......but clearly mentioned it for scenario No. 2.
It's not that big of a deal, really......and I suppose I can see where the confusion came from. YOUR scenario is something I didn't figure on. I've never done it.

"Theoretically" you should use your 30-50yd pin based on the height of your peep. REALISTICALLY, MANY of us that HAVE shot this shot, find a variety of results, and certainly form maybe a determining factor, but even at that, if a guy like me can keep everything where he wants with a 24yd. pin, then what does it matter what "theory" says ???? I've personally practiced the shot, and know where I hit, and that's what is optimally the most important part of attemting the shot irregardlessof what a hooter shooter gets.

I guess it's as much of a "theory" as it woud be to say if you shoot your arrow "up".....eventually it will come down.
Its been an interesting thread, though. [&:]

At 2 yards I usually just wet my finger, jab them right in the bum holieo, curl my finger and let them drag me around till they get tired!

You must have really not read this thread as it contains some good information. Noone tries to control anything, that is your perception.

And I have as much (or more) respect for Brett as I had when we started (which is a lot....and he knows it).
What kills me are the ones who are so hell-bent that they want something (or someone) to be "wrong"....they let it cloud their judgement.
THAT is "laughable".
I enjoyed the discussion, Brett.
