RE: How many pins...
i started shooting with one pin several years ago. I got a new bow last year and wanted to have multiple pins but just couldn't get used to seeing all of the pins in the peep. Accruacy was terrible. took extra pins out (and a few other adjustments) and whallla, accuracy was back. I still don't have confidence at 30 with one pin, but hope to get more practice in this year (only had a month or so of "good" practice with the new bow last year).
