You have someone else measure your parallax. I don't know if it's correct but I measure from the middle of the arrow. But whether from the center or bottom of the arrow, it's measured from there to the center of the peep while you're at full draw.

I thought parallax was the horizontal measurment from your arrow to your sight???? I am just not sure where the measurement goes to on the sight.

I thought you measured from your sight pin to the peep at full draw for the sight base measurement??

Am I confusing the 2?

Parallax is the distance from your eye to the arrow at full draw. I guess you could also call the distance from the sight pin to the peep another form of parallax. How far the pin is from the arrow is just a sight setting, as far as I know. I've never heard it called parallax.

I am trying to make a sight tape for an adjustable impact cosmic sight over on jacksons archery. Looks much prettier than my scribbles

Where else can I make one of these?

Thanks.
