No, you are not the only one. The most difficult shots, sometimes, are the two, three, and four yard shot from a tree stand. This can mess you up if it has not been practiced.

How true. I have a 3d range 45 min from me. My son and I did very well till the last 3 targets. 5,4,3 yard shots. Point blank is a hard shot. Have to agree dugout those shots tend to stump the shooter.

in reality, big game can be as close as any range coz itd move ard.
have to practice more frequent shorter range for hunting instead.

Just practise with a Hor. Line and record your holds for all the ranges. A little cheat sheet tape inside your to limb is valuable to record your holds. Your 3 yard "pin" may be the same as your 40 yard pin. I start at 3 yards and work out to 30 yards.
It can look like this with the first number yards, second number pin and third number POI:
3 3 -1"
5 1 0
10 1 +1
15 1 +1
20 1 0
22 1 -1
24 1 -5
26 2 +5
28 2 +3
29 2 +1
30 2 0
Something like that...
I'm back to one fixed pin at 20 yard zero. I find my mind is much more efficient with holds rather than multiple pins, at my ranges, as I always seem to be between pins and holding anyway. The last 30 deer, or so, were taken at an average of 16 yards, the shortest shot being two yards and the longest 24 yards. I hunt from 16' feet above ground level and distances are taken from the tree at ground level.

Wow learned something new. So differ archer haf their own reference number right.? So all i need to do nw is trial n error on target n write down the number for further use. Thanks for tis. At least a good starting point for me.

I shoot fingers and sightless, might I recomend you give that a try (sightless I mean), those point blank shots will feel much more natural after a bit of practice. Not that I want to start a whole debate but this is a good example of people relying too much on gadgets IMO.

Frankly, having shot with a sight before, I found it rather easy (with practice of course) to have just one pin and adjust height of your aim for the necessary yardage + or-.

Cheers!
