Default SIGHTS ON SCOPE

i have the horton legend and scope it came with.i like using just 1 line for say 10 yard shot,20 or 30 yard.do you folks use each line in scope for yardage, like 10,20 30 40, or do you use 1 line like me and any tips you have would be nice.

I have found that since going to the carbon bolts, I use the first line for 10 to 20, the second line for 30, and the third line for 40. I have found that the carbon bolts fly faster and straighter.

i guess i am only one that does this. many bucks have been missed because of using wrong line for yardage. what i do is sight in 1 line dead on at 20 yards.if buck is at 10 ,i aim a little low,if he is at 30 i aim up the shoulder a little higher.never take shot over 30,never had too in archery.this way i dont get mixed up on wrong line for yards. i hear so many stories of hunters using wrong line on yardage.this takes 1 problem out of the hunting. anyone else doing this?
