1 pin. HHA on a slider. Keep it locked at 27 yards, and hold on from 0 - 35 or so.

2 - 28 and 42 yds. What animal walks out at 20, 30, 40, etc.?? None. I've learned to sight in my 2 pins based on my setup. My bow is very flat and stays in thekill zone to 28 yards (hunt Mulies and Elk, but use a 5 inch square as my "kill zone". The 28-42 yd range is similiar from top to bottom of a small kill zone. Then I use 42+ for anything I feel is longer. Using this method and matching the pins to my bow and not set yardage, I've learn to shoot on feel and not yardage. Too many people "round" yardages and guess 30, when he might be 27 or 33. Also, too many pins clutters your view. I would like to go back to shooting 1 35 yd pin, but found this other method extremely effective and it works very, very well. Just my 2 cents.

I bought the Copper John Dead Nuts sight with five pins. I am only going to use two, so I checked other. I will use the green for 15 yards, and th eyellow for 35. I will not use the red pins, since they do not show up too good.

I have shot 1 pin for years, sighted in at 22yds. Works great...no guessing. I don't really shoot past 30yds, so no need for a bunch of extra pins IMO.
