Default RE: How many pins are on your sight?

Three pins, 30, 50, 70. The 30 (green) is centered in the pin guard to be easy to see. At 295 fps the top pin covers from 0-35 yds. The 50(red) and 70(yellow) are for long range form practice and I use the 30 to 50 pin gap to help me judge distance. I bracket the deers chest and if the deer is smaller than the 30 to 50 pin gap it is farther than 35 yds. This assumes a 16" chest depth so it only works on larger bucks. That makes for a good double check when unsure of distance and can be performed at full draw unlike a laser. That also happens to be my maximum shot distance. The 70 is really fun for shocking people. They think there is no way you can get close to the bullseye at that range.
