Alright,I just did a parallax and trajectory test for my hunting setup.I am shooting a 418 grain arrow around 250 FPS.My peep is 5.5 above nock (this matters for parallax)

My top pin is sighted for 23 yards.

I have often stated that the apex for a sight zeroed at 25 yards is 13 yards,my findings with this setup are no different.

I was sitting atop an 8' ladder just to simulate some downward angle.


yards...... hit
2........... 3" low
4........... 1" low ( parallax)
6 .......... .25" high
8 ........... .75" high
10 ......... 1" high
12 ......... 2" high ( apex)
14 ......... 1.75" high
16.......... 1.5" high

disclaimer,these are my numbers and will not reflect your numbers,plus,this is me shooting sitting on a small platform of a ladder so the shots weren't pin point accurate but pretty darn close for what we are wanting to see.


You can see why I aim dead center at these close yardages.The trajectory takes care of the compensation for me so I don't even give it a second thought.

with my bow i can use my 20 yard pin from 0-30 yards and hit the same spot. its all about the bow

I'm a one pin man myself. It's been my experience, that nobody can tell you how "you" and your equipment interact as one. Line up a target at ten yards and shoot the bow several times, when your group is consistent, you know where your twenty yard pin hits at ten? Shoot the bow.

How big is the spot?

No... you can't.

That's why I asked what size spot.If the spot is 8",it might be able to be done.

Of course he doesn't say how much compensation he has to make either.

Yeah, I guess if the "spot" was a paper plate

It's funny how the basic laws of physics, like gravity, seem to just go right out the window on the internet.

Of course when I was using an HHA DSXL5519 sight I could use one pin all the way out to 100 yards.

so how did you like that sight? jw i just bought one and am waiting on it to be shipped to my house.

Loved it. It's buit like a tank, smooth as silk and spot on with the sight in tape method.

If you like the idea of a single pin moveable hunting sight then HHA is your company. Mounting a quiver can be a litle tricky with some of the quivers out there but for a regular ole Kwikee and similar it's no problem.

That was always an old bet for beers trick when we went to the 3D shoots and stayed over night. Get 5' from a target and bet the guy he can't hit the bullseye. Most will use the top pin and shoot way low. The 40 yd was always where my bow would hit the bull at 5'
