pin spacing

[fatrooster]

I set mine at the traditional 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 yard spots. Some people have mentioned that thier 20 and 30 yards are pretty much the same. One thing to consider is that this statement might not be true at steep angles but I'm pretty much a newbie to archery hunting. How about it guys. Does the steep angle change the consistency and accuracy of one pin being used for two different yardages? fatrooster.

20,30,40,50,60, then 70 is my leveling bar.

What do you mean by leveling bar? l have never heard that...

I think he means at 70 he uses the top of his bubble level on the sight. Kinda confusing how I worded it, hopefully it makes sense

Oh... that makes sense now.
l thought their was some new, innovative method to using sights to level the bow out. Thanks

You shoot the horizontal distance to the target which doesn't change no matter what sight system you use. What gives most people trouble is angling the arrow into the vitals. You need to hit higher to kill from above the animal and lower if you are below.
If the bow shoots so flat that you are 3 inches high at 20 yards and 3 inches low at 35 or 40 all you do is cheat the pin a little high or low. Having your first three pins overlap is not good. Mine tend to blur and just cover up the animal. My other bow has enough space between them that I get a good sight picture.
As for the "level bar", it does exists. I have one that installs in the sight window and is adjustable. It's a bar with a level on it. Not like the levels that are built into the sight window.

the little bar that tells you if you bow is level I have one on the bottom of my sight and I set it for 70 then take the next pin and sight in backwards. I hope that answers you question?

I think that it means if they hold the top of the bar at the bottom of there sight on the target they will hit the target when they are at seventy yards.

Yup!

If I'm shooting my Gold Tips my pins are 25, 35, ...out to 65. But if I'm shooting my Easton ST Epics, they go 25,35,40,45,50. I'll be in the market for a longer range sight pretty soon.
