I bought a black gold single pin sight and now I am asking myself some questions that I cant answer. My first time with a single pin slider or any slider sight for that matter.
Hoping you guys can set me straight. Whitetail guy.
1). I want to set that single pin at 20 yards with my slider at the top so I can shoot between 10-30 without moving my sight. That is my planned distance to shoot at a deer. I will figure out if I need to adjust for 10 and 30 and just burn that adjustment into my head while my sight yardage pointer stays set to 20. Assuming I will also need to set my scope windage and elevation for that 20 one time and then I leave the elevation scope settings alone.
Then I will back up and lower my slider to where I think it will be for say 40 and 60 and mark my setup tape when I get actual vertical settings for those distances (again thinking I don’t touch scope elevation settings for these because I set elevation at 20).
Is this right so far?
2). My peep…I will set that at 20 so I have what I need for 10-30 because I wont be touching my slider for those distances so my peep will stay aligned to my 20 yard distance.
But what happens when I take longer shots say just practicing longer shots…my brain is telling me that peep is not going to fit in my scope housing when I lower my slider…is this true?
Or…will that peep re-align to my sight scope when I raise my bow to shoot at that longer distance?
And I have no idea about the windage setup I guess thats a game day decision at my 30 yard max shot distance on an animal and my max distance setting for practice.
Thanks a million for any help.
