Hey Mularcher,
Wow now thats some kinetic energy. What bow are you shooting and which arrow?

My advice is if you can afford it, buy the Sure Loc sights like the sportsman special and have a sight tape made using the archers advantage. Then you will be able to adjust your sight to any yardage that you want. Just my two cents.

Hey Mularcher,

I have the Mathews Monster and a Easton full metal jacket arrow,
not the smoothest draw but it does fling a arrow...

Two weeks ago I picked up my Mathews Reezen, and now it all changes. With a 390 gain arrows I can sight my first pin in at 25 yards and my second pin will zero at 45 yards. I think I need a new sight. That bow is scary fast. My last bow in comparison, it's like the deference between a .223 and a 22-250 rifle. Whole new ball game now.

Another factor that will affect what yardage you may choose for your first pin is your anchor point and peep placement. The lower you anchor and the higher your peep is the longer the arrow stays below the line of sight and the flatter the trajectory will seem.
