On my new bow, my 20 yd and 30 yd pins are almost the same, so close in fact that I can not see between them at full draw.

My question is, should I make my top pin a 0-30 yd pin and try to remember to aim just a hair lower when the moment of truth comes at 15 yds?

With my old bow, there was enough distance between the two to not confuse the issue, plus I rarely shot at a deer over 25 yds and if I did take a 25 yd shot I held my 20 pin high.

Could yall remember details such as that at the moment of truth? I really don't think it will matter that much. If I use my 30 yd pin at 10 yds I am still inside the circle at the top.

Am I making this too complicated by being too precise?

Set your first pin at 25-27(this should carry 30 as well).Don't wory about remembering to aim low.You will hit slightly higher at 15-20 and on the closer shots from a stand,you want to be slightly higher, so just hold for the middle and forget about it.


OR,if possible,extend the sight out further.That will open your pin gap up.


EDITED,I typed like Germ there for a moment[8D]

Not a big fan of sight extensions, but I've never used one.

I am thinking of just making my top pin 0-30 but I want to hear everyone's pros and cons on this.

I shoot a switchback and and with my setup i use a single pin 0-30 yards it shoots about 2 inches high at 15 and dead on at thirty and about 4 inches low at 35 i feel with the speed of todays bows when i shoot at 10 yards even from a stand the arrow has no time to move like i said you don't notice arrow movement until bout 25 yards just my .02

How fast you shootin?

Just curious......at 330fps.....I still had a pin gap from 20 to 30yds.

Rob/PA Bowyer

You had a sight extension Jeff. The closer the sight is to the riser the tighter the pins get. The further out/gapping the more accurate you can be.

Rob/PA Bowyer

cons: you won't be as accurate. You'll still be holding your pin high or low depending. Ask huntingson, he only had a 30 on his bow at the HNI Northeast shoot out, it wasn't working out that well for him.

GMMAT

Try this tomorrow, Rob.

Slide your bar all the way out.....and shoot 3 arrows.

Slide it all the way in and shoot 3 arrows.

(same pin)

I'm interested to see the results.

Rob/PA Bowyer

I'm not sure what your interested in there. ?

Are you interested in pin gap or to see where the arrow hits in relativity between the out vs in?

GMMAT

Yes.

To make it better.....shoot 3 ea from the out position at 20 and 30 yds.

Shoot 3 ea from the in position at 20 and 30 yds.

Just interested. use your 82nd.
