Mach1 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 20, 30, 40, 50 Passed up a shot at a 150 class 8pt last year because he was at 52 yards and I wasn't comfortable with the shot. Wife was on stand with me and got him on video though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakemisurfer Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 One pin at 25, which still cover 20 and 30 with the one pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 20, 30, 40, 50 I would never concider shooting a deer at 40 or 50 yards but I may need to finish one off someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 20,30,40,50,60. 50 & 60 are generally for recreational purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Wow, how do you guys shoot close shots with a pin set for 20? Aim lower? My pins are set 10,20,30. I have a 5 pin sight...Usually use a 40 for 3D, otherwise 30 is the farthest while hunting but most shots are within that, between 5 and 20.

okiedog Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 20,30,40,50,60. 50 & 60 are generally for recreational purposes. Same here Strut... Wow, how do you guys shoot close shots with a pin set for 20? Aim lower? There is very little difference in my POI from 10-20 yds. Not enough to dedicate a pin for 10yds.

Ohiobucks Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 20, 30, 40 yard pins for my Hoyt Alphamax 32. Scope set for 160 yards on my son's Horton crossbow, it's just like a gun. (Not really, that was for my own amusement.....it is sighted in at 20 yards, with a dial to go further if needed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaTechHunter Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 20, 30, 40, and 50 (plus I have an extra pin that I might sight in at sixty just to have practice at longer distances). In a hunting, I would probably at most shoot 40 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallard_drake85 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'm shooting a PSE Bow Madness XS at 70#'s shooting at 301 fps. I've got my pins set at 10, 20, 30, and 35 (just because I haven't had time to set my 40 pin). Sitting in a tree stand 17-20' off the ground, I don't think I have ever harvested a deer that was further than 20 yards away. But knowing that I'm accurate out to those distances makes me a much more confident shooter. mallard_drake85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
