You left out one tiny little detail, lol, what are you using for a sight? If it's ared dot, you will pretty well need to put the dial-a-rage where you want it, like 2 for 20 yds and start over. If you have a mutli-reticle scope, you may want to pin the thing in one place semi permanent as lot's of guys have had problems w/ rope cocker changing their range setting on that gizmo. I shot one of those bows a week or so ago, nice little bow, but would not shoot fixed blades anywhere near target arrows, mechs are the way to go, imho.
