You will need to re sight bow prior to hunting. Guessing will only result in poor outcome.

There's no telling whether you'll be left or right or even high or low. One things for sure, you're chances of wounding something is very high. Stick with your 150 gr Slick Tricks until you have time to resight in your bow, anything else is foolish.

Agree with the above. Those animals deserve better than 'should be close enough'. Test and zero anything you plan to hunt with.

I agree with the above. On option is to put your target in your garage and turn the lights on. Then go out in the driveway 20 or 30 yds and sight in.
