RE: Single Pin Sights
I use a single pin. It's an HHA Optimizer. While it does only have 1 pin the whole sight adjusts with a quick lock down. You set yardages and mark them on the pivot arm. So yes 1 pin but an infinite array of yardages.

RE: Single Pin Sights
I use a fixed single pin sight and like it much better than when i used multiple pins.I have 1 pin set for about 27 or 28 yards and with practice i get decent groups out to about 45 yards.The key is to practice and become very familiar with what ever you decide to use for hunting.imho.

I've got the singal pin with the adjustable optimizer also has a pendulem built in I love it quick finding through the peep and deadly accurate. Infact after i bought my new bow I took the one that was on it off. bought the adjustable one right away.. would have it any other way.

RE: Single Pin Sights
I was just thinking the same thing. With my new hoyt trykon the top pin shoots dead on from 10 to 40 yards, i know it is hard to believe but it does. I think if i get one pin and set it for about 30 yards i should be fine. I think i am heading to the pro shop tomorrow.

RE: Single Pin Sights
My brother and I both use single fixed pin, Sighted in at 30 yards dead on and it will shoot a tight group at 10-35 yrds. Around here most shot's are within that range. We both use Hoyt Bows Ultramag and Vtec. I see guys come in to the shop with 6 or 8 pins and they sight them 10 yards each.
I tie a ribbon at 35 yards in each direction i can shoot and if it's within that i'm good to go. Savesmoney not buying a rangefinder.

RE: Single Pin Sights
i'm a fan of the single as well - I've got a ranging site that adjusts in 1 yd intervals out to 70 yds (I wouldn't shoot at an animal over 30). I find that if I site it at 20 yds, I can keep a tight group anywhere from 10 to 30 - just gotta get to know your bow well.
