Default # of Pins on your hunting set up

How many pins do have on your hunting set up? And Why do you prefer that number?

I shoot 5 pins because I like to practice out to 60 yards though I probably would not shoot at a whitetail past 55yds.

Just one. Set at 25-yards.

For hunting, I won't take a shot past 35 yards or so, and with one pin, I can keep it on the kill-zone from 10 to 35 and still hit it, a little lower at closer distances and a little higher at farther diastances. I like it because it saves me someconfusion at the moment of truth.

Now, for target, I've got a nice 5-pin sight.

I currently have 3 but I have every intention on purchasing the new G5 Optix XR sight. It has 3 fixed pins and on precision adjustable for longer shots. Sounds perfect, having the ability to use a pin at longer distances but not having to look at 6 or 7 pins and trying to pick which one you need to put on the target.

I had five, but added another so I could have a 70 yard pin and not give up the 20 yard pin, which I kinda need for turkeys.

I have 1 pin an it is17 yds. I don't over shoot on deer anymore like I have in the pass a few times. I hate to spine shoot a deer. I use to have my pin at 25 yds an always shot a little high but since I've moved it that has not happen again.
