I have different colors for different pins, no confusion there.

I have never had that happen, but I could see how it could, putting the yardage next to the pin is just insurance... still much faster then moving anything once the animal is in range.. there is a good reason why 99% of bowhunters that dont treestand hunt use a fixed pin.... simplicity.......baby

Diff colors work, so does shooting enough that its second nature that with a 5 pin 50 would be the 4th pin.. on my 7 pin all of them are green... still no isues so far.....

The FMP boys from Utah had a good discussion on this not to long ago over on the Bowcast.  They are or have switched to movers for the longer ranges they shot, and for better accuracy.  It seems to risky in crunch time to me, to having to adjust my site.  Just adds another realm of human error to factor in.

Team FMP boys shoot out to 100yards, and they enjoy the controvercy they get that comes with it.  They are very confident/yet caulky about there kills.  Shawn Monson seems like a cool guy in person though.  Anthony Dixon is the founder.  There videos are bit different than you standard hunting video.

Once again there are those that can and those that can't. Usually those that can't complain like hell cause it's unethical etc. etc. etc.

well said! I have got my share of that from saying I have taken deer at 75 and would shoot a elk at 100 if all was right

I use to use 3 pins and then took one out and started using a 25 and a 40. It works pretty well. My partner still uses two. My guess is Camron has shot the wrong pin before epoxying a sticker on his sights works for him. It's an excellent idea. Pryor to using a single pin I have shot the wrong pin shooting 3 d as have most people I know. There is an old saying in the motor cycle world. If you have never been down your on your way.  ;)

Seems most of the time those complaining are shooting at paper plates at 20 and 30 yards putting all their shots on it and patting themselves on the back about how good they shoot and their groups are the size of a flock of geese.

Your right again, and sadly id say thats most bowhunters.. not all by any means but most... I love the fact I compete and shoot year round.. 700-1000 arrows a week sure makes those shots come hunting season a breeze...

There is no If, I will, and am looking forward to it, just like your steelhead trips! also If 80 is as close as we can get, Ill kill it and you can tape it to show people it can be done 'ethically' and quickly.. But id rather have a 20-50 yrd shot   ;)
