Interesting range finding Information for Archery hunters everywhere!
"We make no claims as to who came up with this technique as it was taught to me years ago by a friend &very smart fellow hunter."
Its a technique used to range your target without having to carry or operate a conventional style range finder while in the field hunting.
You would start with having a life size target (very important) to set at your different yardages 10, 20, etc.
Example: Life Size Elk target sold here, the target is actually approx. 3/4 of a full size mature bull. That being said it is closer to an average size mature elk.
1. Hang or prop life size target at desired distance.
2. Hold your bow at arms length and view the target through your sight window (The cage around your pins)
3. Note the size of the target (Deer, Elk or Bear) in the sight window at that yardage & mark with erasable pen or pencil.
EXAMPLE: On my sight at 20 yards, the elk target belly is at the bottom of the sight window & the elk target back is at my 40 yard pin. At 40 yards, the elktarget belly is atthe bottom of the sight window & the elk target back is at the 60 yard pin. Last shooting at 60 yards, the elk target belly is now on my 40 yardpin & the elk target back is on my 20 yard pin. (Keep in mind how I marked my sizes, by using the sight window bottom, the pins, or whatever you can use so youdon't have marks all over the sight ring!) Also keep in mind I shoot a 3 pin sight (20, 40 & 60) I sight in between for all the other yardages.
4. Practice at your different yardages until you are confident with them all.
5. Practice walking around to different angles & use the range finder method you justlearned about & I believe you too will see the value in this technique.
We believe in sharing our techniques & success with all sportsman & women so we can all become more knowledgeable!
