I've got the TR Micro Matrix 5-Pin.
My pins are 20 and under, 25, 30,35, and 40
The last two are just for playing around, don't think I'll shoot at a deer any farther than 30.

I use the Hind Sight Extreme (replaces my peep sight) with an Impact Archery Cosmic single pin sight. I have it dead on at 23 yards. I have to shoot about 1" high at 30 yards. When I practice at 50 yards, I hold at the top of the back on my 3D target. Works for me!!

I use the KISS method. I shoot a single pin tru glo sight and follow the same princepal as a rifle scope and adjust for the range. The newer faster bows and carbon arrows makes it a very small adjustment up to 35 yards. I have very little to think about but aim and shoot. It has worked out very well for me.

I guess I'm the opposite of keep it simple........

I shoot the exact same set-up I use in 3D competition.

23,28,33,38

Sounds nuts, but I spend soooooooo much time staring at those pin settings that any other yardage on those pins and I'd be a mess.
I know EXACTLY where each of those puppies needs to be out to 40 yardsthat it's second nature to me.
For my tastea simple 20-30-40 deal isn't precise enough.....but that's just me.
