Nice one Dan, Congrats.


They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Nice shot on a moving target!

Is that a single pin adjustable?

Thanks for the screen shot!
Yes single pin adjustable but I never adjust it. I know where to hold at 30yds also like leading a deer a bit while he's moving rather than trying to stop him.
Stopping him will work some times orther times he stops out of your shooting window, other times he spooks and some times he just ignores you and keeps on at his pace

I'm going with the HHA single for the first time. Set it at 25 yards and I'm good from 0-30 with no problem (395 grain arrows at 286 fps). I better start dialing after that, but doubt if I shoot at a whitetail much further anyway.

Practice at 80 and 30 feels like a chip shot.

One pin is SOOOO much less confusing. If you think some of the long range reticles look busy, check out the SDP (Seven Deadly Pins).

Nice work!

I always shot one pin in the old days, but went with a fancy 5 pin setup when I bought a new bow last year. After one shooting session, 3 of the 5 pins got pushed to the bottom out of the way.

Who actually needs 5 pins these days, much less 7?

Great buck! You seem to really know what you are doing, you kill a dandy every year. Congrats.

80 yds!? You shoot a lot better than I do. Hell, I've shot a grand total of two deer further than 80 yds with a gun.

Bonus DMPs will be valid only for antlerless deer, not either-sex deer as in the past

Only practice. You shoot at farther ranges than you would hunt and it makes it easier. smile

Those of us that hunt mule deer out west use a 5 pin system. Sometimes we even have to use it. smile
