RE: How many pins...
I don't hunt fields and my stands are in the woods so I use 1 fixed pin that gives me a killing shot out to 30 yds. I have a flat shooting bow and sight the pin dead center at 20 yds. The arrow only drops a couple of inches at 30 and the close shots are right there. 1 pin keeps it uncomplicated and doesn't tempt me into taking long shots.
