Lee, I for one, failed to grasp what you are trying to point out here. How do you like the V-zone? I've found w/ that lil goody trajectory becomes somewhat irrelevant. What do you think of it??

Well Awshucks, I have been using a single cross hair for a long time [about 20 years] and I put the vari-zone on and it work fine but I am not sure what I will end up using for hunting, I have taken an average of 2.5 deer a year and a bunch of other game and never missed or lost any so I study all changes very carefully before using them hunting.
As for the post I was just interested in the way other people look at and deal with trajectory. Lee

Well Lee, since you asked what other people think.
If da deer is close, I point right at him. If he's way out there, I sends the arrow way up yonder and it eventually comes back down and stabs him.
Trajectory!

Well Lee I am in your same boat. I used the single dot red dot for a long time and just limited myself to twenty yards, and all the deer I ever shot where right under my stand. Then switched to the Horton multi crosshair sight and still stayed to twenty yards since it did not line up right on the thirty and forty yard lines. I now have the Varizone and am dead nuts on with all the ranges but now find myself being paranoid with proper rang judgment. My one hunting spot was laid out like a rifle target with my twenty and thirty yard rings set up around my stand. I marked them with placing sticks in the ground. But I still get paranoid thinking about going past my twenty yard marks. The difference between 25 and 30 on your info is over 2.5 inches and to me being off by five yards would be easy to do and being off by 2.5 inches is unacceptable to me for my game. I may be eating crow and trying a Leupold and staying with twenty again. I always have to many doubts on ranges.

Buddy, I'm with you. I usually just use one pin on my compounds as well.

It sounds like I have a lot of company,it is easier for some of us to pass on low percentage shots because we see a lot of deer. I always pass on any over 30 yds or that dont offer a good broadside shot. I dont shoot the young of the year either,but it is not unusual for me to see deer every day.Lee
