I am putting new GAS Ghost XV strings on my "Ebay Budget Bow," and I am going to get it bullet holed. Then, l am going to use the same arrows to get my sight marks.

    So I just bought my first actually decent bow. I’m 17 and I’m trying to explore and really get the best setup I can. I’ve shot bows my whole life, but I’ve wanted to experiment with some things with my new bow. For example, what would be some benefits/cons of a thumb button release vs. a traditional wrist strap release with a trigger. And what are some pros and cons of using 4 fletched arrows vs. 3 fletched arrows.

    For sure going to try out that peep trick! I was dead on at 20 & 60, but was 2 inches high at 40. I thought it was parachuting, but this makes sense! I moved my peep higher so 20 was comfortable for an indoor 3d league (20yds and in). My math brain is trying to work out why it makes a difference though.

    Just a quick question if you have the time? First love the videos, keep them coming. My question is I just got a lift 33. Installed my old black mountain carbon dr single pin. It was previously on a mathews chill. So I'm sighting in new bow which is a 70# bow same as chill was. Had to move sight housing up because I was hitting high. Figured because new bow faster. My question is my 20 to 30 yard pin are very close down the tape but my gap between 30 and 40 yard is substantially wider. Seem to me with this bow it should be closer, are is this normal. Seems like gap is wider than it was on my chill. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

  • @midwest8six607
    @midwest8six607 ปีที่แล้ว

    So i have a quick question, or for anyone. When shooting an adjustable sight. Do you keep the same anchor for every yardage ? I have used fixed pins for years! Just recently got an adjustable pin (spot hogg). It seems like when i keep the same anchor. I am all over the place. But when i put my peep aligned with the housing. My groups are so much better. I have people telling me to keep the same anchor. So i’ve been trying so hard and practicing that. But my groups are so all over the place.

    • @Carranzac98
      @Carranzac98 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You align the peep sight to the sight as your normally would. Basically try to keep the first circle on or around the second circle when you look through your peep. When you turn your dial for different yardages, it just sets your sight lower so you’re technically aiming higher but your sight picture shouldn’t change when you aim. If your groupings are everywhere, then check your form and sight picture. If those are good then it’ll be a 2nd and 3rd axis fix from what I’ve read into. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong please)

So when i did that. My groups were all over. But when i’d adjust. My groups were leaps and bounds better. So i was confused on how my form should be on an adjustable sight. Lol how i was told to do it. Wasn’t doing me any good what so ever. 😅😅

I have been hunting since i was like 14 (37 now). I’ve always just used fixed pins until last year. I decided to leap into it. But like i said above. I had no real guidance on how to properly anchor and shoot an adjustable sight.

      I shoot an HHA single pin adjustable, and when I’m shooting longer yardages, I maintain the same draw and anchor point(aligning my peep and sight housing), and make sure to pivot at the waist for the longer yardages. IMHO it’s never a good idea to alter your anchor point, even with an adjustable sight.

      There are a few videos explaining what you can do to get max distance out of your sight. If its a double pin or more, make the lowest pin your slider is one thing. Making sure your sight is as far back on your bow as possible is another. You syarting point when setting up 20 is also important, so your housing is as high as possible at 20. Im sure i missed a lot of more tricks to get more yards out of it but theese are some atleast 🙂
