Using Fixed Sight pins to shoot clear of brush?
« on: August 22, 2007, 11:07:56 AM »
The following article can be found in many places on the internet.

"Another advantage that few people know about is using your fixed pins to make sure you clear brush or limbs. Put your 30-yard pin on the target and see where your 20-yard pin is. If it is on the limb you will hit it. If it is above or below the limb you will clear it."

I know that I have read another article that expands on this principal and I have spent several days looking for it to no avail.  :(  I am teaching my grandson to bow hunt and while the above article helps imensley, I would like to share the expanded version with him.

Does anyone here know where I can find the article?

I have used that extensively when shooting 3-d, and while hunting if I have a ground blind or a rapid elk set-up on the ground and it works well.  Not exactly sure where I read about it.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

I received this from another forum and it is what I was looking for . . . I think it was AT.
