First pin opinions please

[DoubleJ]

I've finally got my bow broadhead tuned.  My 30 yard pin hits 6" high at 20 yards and my 20 yard pin hits 6" low at 30 yards.  6" is the gap. 

Here's the rest of the info:

1.  I can practice everyday out to 30 yards.
2.  I can practice out to whatever distance i chose on the weekends but only a short bit.  In my opinion, i'm not able to practice 30+ near enough but, it is what it is.
3.  I will be deer hunting mulies in central wa.  And elk hunting wet side so i have a need for more long distance pins as well as short distance pins.
4.  I don't want 47 pins in my sight.  I'd like to stay at 4

What would you do.  Make the first pin 20 yards and go from there or make the first pin 30 yards and compensate for shorter shots.

Go back to rifle huntiing....
There are way to many variables in bow hunting to explain, 6 inches could be a foot given range estimation, string jump etc
you need to get your pins closer, start at your max comfortable, acurate range and work back from there...

20, 30, 40, 50. Are you really going to want to hold your pin 6" low in the heat of the moment? That could easily be the difference between a wounded and a dead animal.

Best point I've seen made.  Thank you.

i would say it depends on how fast your bow is, but in your case 20,30, and so on. i have 30 and up but i only have about a 2-3in drop if i put my 20 on the 30 yard target. which wont matter since the animal is gonna flinch down anyway. but 6 inches is just too much drop in my opinion.

You have issues.   If your broadheads are hitting that bad at 20 and 30 yards you are only going to have more problems the further out you shoot.

Going to shoot a lighter BH tonight to see if I can tighten that up.

[pullnpray]

what set up are you shooting?

6" is a lot of drop.  I am shooting a 495 grain arrow out of my hoyt maxxis and I only have 3.5 - 4" drop from 20 yards to 30 yards.

I think he's getting bad broadhead flight.   I think they are diving on him.

I'm guessing the difference in dropp is beteen BH and feild tips? If it were me I woul go 20-50 BUT would practice a bunch with feild tips (everyday) then change over clser to hunting season and recalibrate for you broad heads. ( move the pins)  The best thing to do is find a BH that shoots as close to you Feild tip as possible.  If you think your max range is 50 shoot at 50 with both your BH and feild tip and see how much differnce you have then... It maight be alot!
