Default RE: One, Two Three or more pins?

I am also a one pin person. You should consider your average yardage, speed of the bow, and you personal limits. Maybe two pins will be needed. Or how about a single pin/adjustable sight? These aren't as complicated as some people think. I use one, but set it for 25 yards most of the time. It allows me to make ethical shots anywhere from 5 to 30 yards with a mid-chest hold on deer. And 30 yards is fairly long here in the East. I do like the cleaner sight picture that a single pin offers. I use the HHA OL-5000. I llok for things like all metal construction (no plastic, please), a bright fiber pin (my eyes are old), micro-adjust for windage, and a lifetime warranty. This is just one idea.

Were I to use a multi-pin sight I'd most likely have two pins, set for 25 and 35 yards. Not that I need a 35 yarder. I can easilyshoot accurately farther than that. It's just that to set it at 30 yards it would be too close to the 25. I'd rather have a bit of gap so I can gap shoot that 30 yarder, should the opportunity arise.
