I say get the 5 pin. I have a 3 pin and would like to add more. I practice at like 40 and wish I had some more pins.I have them set at 10, 20, and 30 yards. I wouldn't take a shot past 30 yards but it's good to practice out farther.

I prefer a 3 pin, if you are out west shooting longer ranges you may want to go with the 5 pin.

I think a 3-pin is perfect for hunting, but I like a 5-pin for 3-D tournaments.

I would also go with the5-pin. I was always a 3 pin user until I got my SPot-Hogg with 5 pins. I have my pins set at 20, 30, 35, 40 and50 yrds.

I use five pin 20,30,40,50,60 yards pins....I hunt a mix of stand hunting and spot and stalk and the longer distances work great for the s&s. I practice every day at 50 yards. In Kansas the eastern half is hard woods and the western half is rolling prairie and I hunt both. Plus I hunt the mounatin states as well.

It is funny if you were on a site with all western hunters you would find a lot of them have 80 yards pins and practice at those long distances regularly. That spot-hog seven deadly pins sight is popular out west.

5 pin forme,20-30-and 40 the other pins should be 50 and 60. Even thoughtb yo should not shot a deer at these yards. It is still fun to shot at for fun.

Definetely set a pin at 10 yards though. No matter what anyone says, you can definetely miss a deer at 10 yards because you didn't aim correctly. Just my opinion.

Good choice.

I use 2 pins for hunting and practicing. The 1st pinis goodfor 0-32 yds. The 2nd pinis for 30-40 yds. which most of the time I probably wouldn't even use except for practicing.

Don't mean to sound judgemental but I feel 28 to 30 yds. is the limit. That might even be a little to far. I practice out to 40 - 45 yards but it is sort of like shooting pool. After you feel confident about making long shots the shorter ones are much easier. Like many others have said, there are to many variables at distances over 30 yds. By the time (reaction time) you decide to pull the trigger, and the arrow reaches its destination, the deer or any other animal could take a step or for that matter even have time tolay down. You may have hit the bulls eye when shooting at a target bagbut this target just moved. Not for very good shot placement.

If this sight is for hunting only get the 3 pin and you can always take one out if you want to. That's what I did.

do you have to let down the string from full draw to set your "slider" site? they always looked like a person could not adjust the sight "on the fly" until you let down the string.
deer when spooky tend to jump around some. ive seen situations where a deer would be at 10 yards then in the blink of an eye hes at 30. seems like that maybe this type of sights down fall but then the multi pin gets confuseing like you said. (I have a 3 pin multi but i may get it swaped out for its 5 pin bro before next season.
