You might have a target at 41 yards, and the next target might be at 48 yards. Having a tighter pin gap was a huge improvement, especially when you were shooting a 100 round.

The advantage I got from the Vector was a tremendous improvement on the pin gap (judging distance between two sight pins). At the time, I was shooting fingers competitively in the Bowhunter Class. The Vector was 15- to 20-percent faster than the equivalent bows made by other bow manufacturers. But in 1983 when PSE introduced the Vector, one of the first cam bows on the market, I changed to PSE. I was a tournament archery shooter in the Bowhunter Class and had shot some National Field Archery Association tournaments. Due to the family friendship, I’d always shot Jennings bows. I grew-up shooting Jennings Bows, because my Dad had a good friend who was one of the first three employees of Tom Jennings. But since the switch, he’s never looked back – and today is one of the nation’s top bowhunters. For Dalrymple to break from the tradition of shooting Jennings bows and start shooting PSE bows back in 1983 was almost a major family problem. Editor’s Note: Phillip Dalrymple of Tucson, Arizona, and his family had a history with Jennings bows.
