So the goal for my shooting session today was to take advantage of my 3-Pin Black Gold Pro Sight and put a sight tape on it (even though I’m not going to shoot a deer past 30-35)...I just wanted to stretch it out to 60-70 today for fun...my shooting sessions usually consist of multiple rounds at 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, some Kentucky windage shots at 50 using my 40 yard pin and finish with a round at 20-25...
so today I started at 40, made sure all was kosher...went to 50, turned my dial down and used my bottom pin until it was dialed and made a mark...did the same at 60...
Now, I assumed that the sight tapes that Black Gold sent with the sights wouldn’t work because of my 550 grain arrow setup...I was right...what was interesting was that my gaps from 20-50 were equidistant...HOWEVER, the gaps from 50-60-70 started almost staking on one another...I shot like 8 rounds to confirm and it was confirmed. I know that heavy arrows will hold the KE longer than light arrow setups...it was just cool to see just how close my pin gaps were from 50-70 compared to what they were from 20-50...
Here are a few pics of my redneck sight tape...the top dot is where my sight sits during hunting (3-pins for 20, 30, and 40) The next two marks are where my bottom pin (floater) is dialed in at 50 and 60...you can see how close the 60 mark is to the 50 mark...I didn’t mark the 70 because it was just hard to believe how close it was to the 60, so I’m gonna shoot it again later this week and just re-re-confirm
Have any of you other heavy arrow fellers experienced this?
