Tips?
Why don't shooter set there pins equal distances apart and use the pins as you would in a scope with mildots ?
Its a simple way to know exactly how far away the target is . All you have to know is the targets size . Once you know the target size you can range it at any distance you want . You will know the distance by the space it takes up between the pins just like you would looking at the mildots on a scope .
In 3d archery you set your pin spacing for 10 to 50 yards . Find out the smallest target at the closest range . For example lets just say the smallest target at the closest range is a 6 inch target from top to bottom . If you space your pins 5.5 mm apart all the way down with your top pin set at 10 yards dead on . Now hold the sight up and see how many mildots or pins it takes to go from the bottom of the target to the top .
You know at 10 yards it takes 3 mildots or pins to fill the space at 6 inches , and between the top pin and the 2nd pin down is 3 inches . So if the target is taking up 3 pins and you know the target size is 6 inches you know you are at 10 yards away . Now lets say that same target is only taking up the space between the first pin and the 2nd pin , guess what distance your at from the target . That right you are 20 yards away . No guessing what so ever.
. Every bow is going to be different on where that 20 yard shot is going to work out on the spaced pins ,you just have to shoot at 20 yards and see where you arrow hits and what pin or pin spacing it lines up with . This is where the chart you make comes in handy till you get the hang of where your arrows land from 10 to 50 yards . They may fall on a pin or they might not but it doesn't matter as long as you know where the arrow is going to hit between 10 and 50 yards . Once you know what yardages fall on a pin just right it down or remember it . You will know the yardage from the pin spacing and know what pin to use for that yardage .
Now lets say your shooting at a 18 inch target like a deer target and from the top of its back to the bottom of its belly you know its 18 inches . You raise up the bow and put the top pin on the top of its back and see what pin lines up closest to the bottom of the belly if it lines up with the 4 th pin down you know it's 20 yards away because at 20 yards each pin distance is 6 inches so between 4 pins its 18 inches .
. So you can see how fast you can tell just by a quick pin distance from top to bottom of the target belly you can do all this in a matter of seconds . There is no rules saying you can't have evenly spaced pins on your sight and just because you can see the spacing between the pins and how the target sizes up between them isn't breaking any rules .
Okay lets take a test if that same 18 inch target deer is only taking up 2 pin spacing's what distance are you at ?
These sights only have one pin
That's gaping u dumb ass go out and learn to judge yardage/animals and set ure sight and make ure shot .Bill Edmonds.
Mr. clueless up here. Lol
@@LancasterArcherySupply Try 5 pins spaced tight. Instant built in range finder. Turn them side ways for standing bear, turkeys etc. 3 yard Turkeys are pin 5.
