sight pins, how many, yardage
What kind of sights you got on your box, how many sight pens and what yardages they set to? Trying to get an idea what everyone else has. mineis a toxsonic set with 3 pinscurrently set at 15, 25, 35 yds. I'd like to get a different set of sights sometimes, but I need to get a dozen arrows and a new release. Only have 3 good arrows left.

RE: sight pins, how many, yardage
I have the common Tru-Glo 3 pin sights on my lefty bow. When I started out, I kept them short at 10/20/30. I stayed at 10 yards for months, while I learned to shoot properly. Then moved on from there.
Currently, I have the 3 pins set at 20, 30 and 40 and leave them set at that. For a 25 yard shot, I just sight in between the 20 and 30 pins and I'm dead on.

RE: sight pins, how many, yardage
I have a copper john and a TR Matrix
The copper john has 4 pins from 20-50 in 10 increments
The Matrix has 3 pins from 20-40, same 10yrd increments.
I will use both during the season, but the matrix will be my main sight since this will be my 1st yr. with a vertical pin setup.

Currently I have an extreme sniper xlt. 20,30,40,50 yds. But I don't hunt with that, I just like shooting far during practice to make close shots easy. In about a month I'll throw on my pendulum for hunting.

RE: sight pins, how many, yardage
I use one pin for hunting, set at 30 yards. Can't use the wrong pin, and I practice at short yardages to know where to aim from 5 - 30, and can hold dead on out to 35. It took a while but I shoot just as good with a single pin as I do multiple pins and started doing that after shooting right over a deer at 15 yards...............put my 40 yard pin on him [:@]

RE: sight pins, how many, yardage
I use the Tru-Glo fiber optic 3 pin sight. I've set mine right now for 20, 30, & 40 yards but that's for practice and 3-D shooting. When it comes to hunting in the fall, I'll drop back to 10, 20, & 30 yard pins. I don't like taking shots on deer outside 30 yards. Too much time for the deer to move before the arrow gets there. Just my opinion.

I shoot a tru glosingle pin sight. No clutter in the sight picture, and I can leave the pin set at 20 yards and know exactly where I'm going to hit up to 30 without messing withtheset screw or accidentally use the wrong pin. For 3D, I have marks for 20, 30, 40 and 50.
