I use no pins on my trad bows. I shot them instinctive. My compound has5 pins, 20 yard through 60 yards. And I use them all. Where I hunt is a lot of open country. Most of my shots are 35 yards in, but every now and then I have to use the others. My furthest deer kill has been between 45 yards to 50 yards, but ive taken hogs out to 60 yards a couple of times.
