[QUOTE="Whisky, post: 46409, member: 661"] Hey I agree with you a tuned bow is crucial. So with that said, I never said anything about adjusting sights or BH/FP POI....Practice how you hunt was the point I was making. A 4" 5 arrow FP group at 60, shooting from a comfortable standing position, at highlighted vitals on a square target doesn't mean shit if you can't put 1 arrow with a BH into that vital every time, from field positions. Since you brought it up, when most say they have the same POI with BH and FP I guess i take that with a grain of salt. What's your definition of same? Pie plate at 40 yds? Robin hooding arrows at 60? Did you spend 1 whole night BH tuning to come to this conclusion, only to never touch a BH again until you go hunting? Did you shoot BH and FP's with gloves on? Did you shoot BH and FP at angles? Did you shoot BH and FP kneeling? Are you shooting mechanicals. Are you shooting with a drop away, or a biscuit? All these factors affect each set up differently. FP's are way more forgiving then BH's and if there are issues your BH's will tell you very obviously. Admittedly, I used to be the anal OCD sum bitch that spent more time tuning then shooting, chasing that perfect tune where BH and FP hit the same. I've since realized my time is better spent practicing how I hunt. And if I can achieve repeatable kill shots from field positions with a BH, i guess I consider that the true test of equipment and confidence. [/QUOTE]
