Default RE: 5 pin or 7 pin sight?

the way i see it, 5 pins gets you 60yds...2 more and your out to 80 if you start them at 20 and go in 10yd increments like alot of guys do.

for the normal hunter/casual target shooter, 60yds is a long shot at a target...but, if you master 60, 70 is next if you want. i personally enjoy "long range" (50+yd) target shooting. makes 40 and less seem like a cake walk...and if you can group at long ranges, you have to be consistent with everything you do...

i went with a 4 pin viper this year...i really think i can put a good 2 more pins in there easy...i want atleast my top 2 pins to be .019 for hunting..so i will be upto atleast 6pins if i want...should fit those easily...i will decide what i like after i get those 2 on....when im in the treestand, i dont even notice the rest of the pins on the sight...this year i told myself top pin only or im not shooting...thats the only pin i seen...knew it was the top green pin...the other 4 didnt bother me a bit and i had no confusion at the moment of truth...in the woods of PA i dont see myself shooting past 25 maybe 30 tops..just dont hunt fields or open woods much to worry about the other pins when im in the stand
