[QUOTE="Frogman77, post: 298633, member: 15339"] I've found the same thing shooting bows. Indoor lighting and outdoor lighting, my poi shifts even at 20 yards. Not much, but when target precision is required it makes a difference. Even shiftng shooting lanes indoors where the overhead lights are a little to the left or right can make a difference especially at longer ranges. Outdoors very much like Michael's experience the sun's position left or right of my target will change my horizontal impact as well. Perception of the target affects the shooter's point of aim based on what direction the light is coming from. I imagine it has something to do with how the light rays are reflected off of the target back to the shooters eye relative to the angle the light is hitting the target. I've shot my bow out from 20 to 60 yards when sun is directly overhead. Zero'd there everything lined up centered. As the sun moved to my right, and the target's right my point of aim/poi shifted horizontally and more so as the sun approached the 3 o clock position. Which direction I don't remember. That was done last season and I haven't shot my bow in about a year due to an injury. [/QUOTE]
