@everythingwild24092 жыл бұрын
how was your left and right at 20 yards? If it was perfect I would look to why your not hitting consistently at 60 as well. Not 100% which direction to turn it without my bow with me but I would make a small adjustment and write down how many clicks you move it. If it gets worse take it back to where you had it, then turn it the other direction. I think it’s away from the string but I don’t remember 100%.

@everythingwild24094 жыл бұрын
Hey thanks for the comment! I choose the two pin because 90% of my hunting scenarios are shot between 20-40 yards. By having a 20 and 40 pin if a deer walks by at any yardage I can shoot it without dialing. The reason two pins over 3 is that my 20/30 yard pin are close enough it’s not necessary and clouds the sight picture. Great example of the deer I shot in my profile picture caught me off guard and I knew he was between 30-40 yards so I put the 40 yard pin on his heart and 12 ringed him. If I only had a one pin I would have had to adjust my sight to shoot and the situation didn’t allow for such movement

Also, say you use the bottom pin to set your tape, which indicator do you use to shoot at say 80 yards?

The bottom pin is whatever it lands on, the faster the bow the bigger the will land. For example my bow is 25 top pin and my bottom pin ends up being like 38 yards. If I put the same sight on my wife’s bow and sighted the top pin at 25 her bottom pin would be like 30ish because her arrow droppes faster than mine.
