It's the time of year when I dream of all I will draw and what new equipment I want for the hunts. Of course, it's usually all red and I won't need new equipment. But, just in case...
I've been looking at new bow sights and like the idea of an adjustable pin. I like the ability to practice way out past the distances I'll shoot at game but don't want to adjust the sight near the hunt so I like a sight that allows. Currently, I have a spot-hogg 5 pin that is set to 30-70 yards as my practice range maxed out at 70. I moved and my new place should allow me to practice out to 100 yards. I could do a 7 pin and set it 30-90 yards but that seems like it would reduce the sight picture visibility too much. I shoot with both eyes open so maybe thats not an issue? I haven't looked at all the sights available, is there one that has fixed pins I could set at 30,40, and 50 and dial only the last pin? This would allow closer shots to be no nonsense and the ability to dial out for practice or that long reach on an animal.
I'd love to hear others experience and knowledge on this.
