I guess the single pin does make a lot of sense. Taking all of the guesswork outta judging the distance. Let's say I set it at 25 yards. If I have a 10 yard shot, how low will I have to aim?

Depends on your bow.

Simply, the faster the arrow's going, the flatter the trajectory. Therefore, the less elevation you'll have to compensate for.

Maybe an inch low maximum.

Personally I think that the Fiber Optics on both the Spot Hogg and the Copper John sights are pretty POOR. You got to have the light to see them in "low light" hunting situations. Check out E-Bay and see how many people are getting rid of the things. Trophy Ridge and HHA probably have the brightest optics on the market. Image

I thought that my Impact Archery Collector was the brightest that I had seen until I looked at a Vital Bow Gear Tombstone. That is my new hunting sight. I use the Copper John Dead Nuts Pro for indoor league, and 3D.
