Now another question ...

- Your single pin sight is set to 25 yards
- A deer is 35 yards away from you ACCORDING TO YOUR RANGE FINDER, NOT GROUND DISTANCE

Also :

- Again, 20 feet up and sight is set to 25 yards
A deer is 15 yards away from you ACCORDING TO YOUR RANGE FINDER, NOT GROUND DISTANCE

How do you adjust for the drop then? Surely it's going to have an effect of some sort



Put the pin 2" above the bottom of the deer's chest in both cases. At 15yds you will hit a little high but the deer will not have time to duck the arrow. At 35yrs you will hit low but at that distance the deer will have dropped a full body width and drop right into the arrow. That is if the deer decides to react, but that is something you cannot control. I read an article one time that said 50% of bucks make some attempt to jump string but 95% of does do. In my experience this seems to be true. I always aim low.
