Talk:Compound Bow

I did a bit of testing and the pin sight on the compound appears to be functional. I marked off every ten blocks and dropped a two high stack of frames and painted a target on the top one. I did this out to 100m, but the sight is unreliable beyond 80m or so.

Pin one is sighted for 15m, covers from 10m to 20m. Pin two is sighted for 25m, covers from 20m to 30m. Pin three is sighted somewhere around 60m. (this is where exact numbers starts to get questionable, because the pin covers the entire two inner circles and part of the blue circle at this distance) Pin four is roughly sighted to 80m, plus minus 10 to 20m.

I'd use pin two in most cases, because you'll be set up for a headshot at the maximum effective range of the bow, and if the target is further out beyond 30m you'll still probably get a body shot.
