Holey Smokes ! I'm at 50 and that's good for me. Took me a long time and lots of pull pull pull and even more pulling to get there  My mustang is the bomb at 50 with enough takedown for a whitetail  |

A couple of years later he was shooting 50# and took our a huge Barbado ram at 35 yards. The hide on those things can make penetration difficult but again , the correct head for the job  |

I would point out that when getting you facts off this system....look at the arrow drop indicator Obviously there are faults |

I would point out that when getting you facts off this system....look at the arrow drop indicator Obviously there are faults I don't know of anyone who sights their bow in at 0 yards... I would guess that a good number of us sight in at 20 yards with the first pin. If you look at the ballistic chart setup, the line of sight from your eye through the sight pin is above the arrow. Once launched, the arrow goes up, not straight out, and depending on the speed of the bow crosses over the line of sight and settles back down to smack the bull at 20 yards. This is why some bows are dead on at 12 to 15 yards with the 20 yard pin, same as if shot at 20 yards. With the faster bows, this distance pushes out much closer to the 20 yard bullseye. Simple trajectory. The example here does not accomodate this, they shoot an arrow dead flat, straight out, and mark the drop. I think this would make more sense if they angled the shot so that 20 yards was zero drop. Slow bows would mark positive at 10 to 15 yards, really fast bows would mark negative at 10 to 15 yards - still coming up! |
