Thanks for all the tips and help.
I think I will sight it in at 20 30 and 40. I feel very comfortable at 35 yards, if I do not get comfortable at 40 I can allways go back to 35.
Where I hunt is in the Ozark Mountains in eastern Oklahoma.. It is a typical hardwoods oak forest with lots of hills and draws. Most of my black powder and rifle shots are usually 15-30 yards or so.
I doubt I will ever shoot a bow at a deer at 40 yards. Just nice to know I could.
The arrows I'm shooting are easton 2219 and they weigh 400 grains. The muzzys are 100 grains, so a total of 500 grains. I do think they are border line heavy for 60 lb. draw. But it is the arrows I have, and will not buy new ones until I have to. When that time comes though I think I will buy easton 2413 that weight 302 grains plus my 100 grain broad heads. I would like to shoot around 400 grains total.
Once again thanks for all the help.
Has been very intresting and fun reading all the responses so far.
