While the 100 yards + will be reserved for targets, I still like to have a setup capable of such tasks. You never know when you might see a coyote or need a follow up shot on a wounded animal.

Has anyone tried the new Hoyt dropaway rests? I forget the exact name of them. Also, are there any 7-10 pin sights out there with greater than a 2" gap from top to bottom pin, other than the trophy taker 10 pin? [/QUOTE]
