Just Wondering?

Post by confederate »

How do you guys aim at 30 yards? My Exocet 175 drops about 5.5 to 6 inches at 30 yards with my arrow setup. I never use the 30 yard mark in my scope. I aim dead on with the 20 yard crosshair. Everytime I have done that I have made a perfect hit at 30 yards due to the deer dropping. So the 30 yard mark has little purpose for me . If I had a 35 yard shot I might would use the 30 yard sight and aim dead on. What do yall think?

My phoenix is hitting 1/2" low at 30 yds & its 3" high at 20 yds. If they're close i aim a tad low. My vixen has a varizone on it sighted in at 20 yds. the speed ring is set & it hits with-in an inch on all chevrons.

My equinox is zeroed in @ 20yds. I rarely use the other crosshairs. If i use my 20 yd crosshair, itll be 3 in high @ 10 yds...and about 4 low at 30 yds. I just aim occordingly. I agree with the deer dropping too, happens most of the time i feel.

I sight in at 25 yards with my Phoenix. (arrow velocity around 290fps)
Arrow is within ±3" of aiming point from 0-30 yards.

A "center of the kill zone" hold on any deer within 30 yards = venison in the freezer as long as I do my part and nothing malfunctions.
