20-30-40. I would think that a 5 pin would be a little shallow. For me anyway. I always thought about using a 10 but havent done it. Want to keep it simple.

Top pin is 0-30, second is 40 and third is 50. Im planning on getting the G5 Optix XR sight when it comes out. 3 fixed pins, 0-30 for the top, 40 for the second and 50 for the third but it also has a floating precision adjustable fourth pin for extended ranges past 50.

I shoot a single pin slider for hunting, but have yardages marked 20-70, increments of 10.

I'm in process of switching it over for 3D, in which case I'll have 5 fixed pins, 22, 27, 32, 37, and 42 yards.

I could never set 5 yard pin gaps, there'd be no gap. What do you do on a 50 yard target?

Won't be any 50 yard targets. I THINK 38 is as far as they go, but I'm not sure on that....

I know the gap is going to be tricky, so I'm using .010 pins and I'm using a triple track sight, at least I'm pretty sure it is...It's a double for sure. I've been pm'ing Matt/PA, and I took his recent thread to heart.....

The pin gap is EXACTLY why I use a single pin slider for hunting. Less mess and confusion, it's going to take some getting used to that's for sure.

How do you mark your slider? I have a single pin but i feel like it is hard to accurately place in the same spot when i wanna shoot at 20 or 30 etc.

If you're going to be shooting 320fps mobow. There's no way you can get the 5yd increments.
