Yardage for first pin

[savageman]

My crossbow is rated as 345 ft/sec. at what yards would you set the first pin?

Assuming your using 100 gr. broadheads, and carbon arrows, 25-30 yds. My old Parker only shot in the 290s, and it shot flat out to 23 yds., and only 2-3 in. low at 30. My new Ridge 370 will shoot flat out to 32 with the same set-up. Where I hunt, anything past 20-25 yds., ain't gonna get an arrow any farther without it getting deflected. My .02.

1st pin is typically at 20 and then at 10 yard increments.

Thanks for the input.
i set my first pin at 20 and 25 was just 1.5 inches low.
30 is half way between first and second pin
35 is on the second pin
40 is half way between 2n and 3rd pin
