If it is a modern compound bow, you will probably have 1 pin at 20 yards, 1 pin for 30 yards and 1 pin for 40 yards.

From 25 yards in you should be able to shoot it with one pin.

I have a very nice 4 pin sight..so far..I only use the top 2 pins..Top pin is set at 20 the 2nd one at 30...That 's probably as far shoot as I will take...For me 30 is a good shot. My last shot today was just in the outer edge of the bull's eye at 30 yds..a normal shot for these newer bows I reckon.

I'm set at 20, 40, 50, and 60. Last year I took a shot at 50 yards and nailed a mulie. That's a longer shot than I would like but the conditions were perfect. I practice at all the ranges that my pins are set regulary and would feel comfortable with a shot that far. I would take a shot at an elk out to 60 if it had it's head down feeding and everything was just right. I would prefer all my shots at 20 or less yards.

3 pin sight 1st pin 20,30,40 I wouldn't shoot at a deer out at the 40 yrd mark unless the conditions were perfect.

thanks guys but something else I just put into consideration is ya'll are probably shooting more poundage than me I'm set at 55 pounds right now

I shoot a adjustable one pin sight that I set to my cornpile--Distance?? Its according to what cornpile I'm setting on.LOL--I set my single pin for 25yds and my arrow is in the kill from 0 to about 37yds--little low up close//little high further out.
I also shoot High Country Bows--An old Safari and a less old Premiere Pro both set at about 62 lbs or somewhere close.The best thing is to shoot from 5yds increments with one pin and see what yore bow does.
