I like to practice around 50 and 60 as well. If I am good at those distances, then my confidence is up when I am taking shorter shots. Plus, where I hunt, it is tough to get within 20 yards.

I just have two pins set up for 20 and 30 yards. I do not plan on taking a shot past 30. I sometimes practice further shots just for the heck of it.

x2 for me. The 20 and 30 are very close so I may go 20,40,50,60,70. I usually practice out to 80 yards. Bottom of the site window is perfect at 80.

I love my bow..I'm not use to the accuracy and power.. I spent alot of time today shooting and I only use 2 pins..I have 4 but only use 2.

I shoot a new Alpha Max 32 Hoyt.
Top pin is Green...I use it dead on for the 10-20 - and 25

The next pin is very close and is red..I use it for the 40.

in between the green and red..is dead on at 30...

the 2 pins are about 1/8 th inch apart..very nice bow.
