I use the Vital Bow Gear Pro Slide and I love it. It is the best sight I have had yet. It is very bright and light weight. I like the vertical pin. I use a single pin even if I don't have a slide. My bow shoots flat enough out to 30 yards I only need one pin. Iaim a little high or low to compensate. I don't like multiple pins, if you look at the wrong one you are way off.

I used just 1 pin last year, and will probably do it again this year. I like it because it is foolproof as far as picking the right pin in a pressure situation.

I use one pin on a custom bow equipment sight.The sight is adjustable if I feel like I need to move it.I keep it at thirty yards and know how high or low to hold if I need to factor that in.I do not like a busy sight picture!

I use a Tru-Glo Glo-Brite single pin sight. I have marks for 20, 30, 40, and 50 yards for the practice range and 3D, but I typically keep it on 20 when hunting. I can keep the sight on the 20 yard mark and hold high at 30 and be right on, so i don't need to mess with the sights during crunch time. I like it much better than a multi pin sight.

My father and i both got Cobra easyslide extreme sights earlier this summer and we're very impressed with the brightness and overall quality. I would recommend this sight to anyone.

I use the Impact Archery Cosmic single pin sight for hunting only .For hunting a single pin is all you need since most shot's are within the 30yrd limit but iyou can alway's compensate for a little difference if your target is just a little out of range.

i use a vbg startrac single pin sliding site and love it. however, i'm all hot and bothered over the sur loc something or other hunting site. its a slider that has 3 pins, so you'd be set at 20, 30, and 40, and with a slide be set at 50, 60, and 70. you could also use the distance between the pins to cheat at 3-d. it's $200 wholesale though so it will be a while, but i think i'll have it. plus i think it'll slide enough to go out to 100.
