Deer is standing 33 steps from base of tree.
The hunter is 25ft up in that tree.
Which pin do you use?

how big are you stepping? about 1 yd per step?


If so, the answer is 30yd pin

Had cost me one of the biggest bucks I ever saw. Really. Didn't see that deer again for another month on the back of someone else's 4wheeler. Very easy score of 170+.

How tall are you, your height could be the difference in the pin selection...

Does your sight have enough pins?

this is one of the main reasons i advocate the use of single pin. Less confusing in my opinion on shots 30 yards and in. granted, i dont have shots i would take over 35 yards. its more of a feel thing that you take to the field with you from practicing.

For real.

I have two. I shoot very flat from 20 yards back in(main pin), then I have a 30 yard pin. Like other have posted I would not shoot further than 35 yards.

I don't understand the question. Obviously you use the pin that's closest to the distance it is from you. Then you aim high or low to compensate for the extra +3 yards or -2 yards, or whatever, if you're a perfectionist.

Absolutely correct.

30 yds is 30 yds whether your at ground level or 100 feet up.

I guess ik missing something.
If he sighted from ground and climbs 25' and shoots with 30yd pin he will miss badly
