Dude .. curve of the earth divided by 2 x pi(3.14) accurate point of aim . Say 150 yards hold 100 yard pin on target see where 40 pin is hold 100 pin where forty was thus adding 10 yards for deceleration and arrow drag . Impact point in the pocket = dead deer !

What is the longest bow kill people have done or witnessed?  I saw a friend take one at 73 yards, punch it right it vitals.  I personally could not take it but this guy shoots daily and is good.  Let's don't get into the ethics converstaion, that has been beaten to death on other threads.

Spoken like a true bow zen master....
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

And here I thought you were going to confess that you were getting rid of your Hoyt for a real bow, like a BOWTECH.

Better luck next time Mr D Rock. I always push the rangefinder button 2 - 3 times just in case. easy to hit a branch etc and get a wrong reading. One of my buddies had that happen while we were all camped in the Nile. He was off by 14yds and shot over the cows back.
I've got confidence in ya, you'll get one yet.
