Just curious, how many people only shoot with one pin when hunting? I usually use three but I got a new bow and I think I am just going to use one pin this year. What yardage do you sight it in at?

bmwalker, this is my second year bowhunting and I only use one pin. I find it easier to concentrate and focus on. I have it sighted in at 20 yards. I raise it ever so slightly and 25-30 yards and lower it a minute tad within 15 yards. If I shot at longer distances I would think about adding a second pin but 99 percent of my shots will occurr well within 20 yards in timber.

chucker, not trying to steal your reply but you took the words right out of my mouth, thats exactly what i do.

If you want to try a single pin, buy a sight with one pin on a slider. I have the HHA OL-5000 and love it. It has one of the brightest pins out there and is virtually indestructable. I set my pin to 25 yards. I am good to 30 yards +/- 1". If I go to range and want to shoot 40+ yards, I just use the slider.

I feel a single pin eliminates having to pick which pin to use when the pressure is on.

I'm pretty much the same. I use one pin sighted in at 25yds., from 10-20 I am about 1"high, at 30 about 2" low and at 35 about 4-5" low. I have been doing this for about 5 years and I will never go back to multiple pins.

I also use one pin. I have it sighted in at 25 yards and from 0-30 I make no adjustments it on so close that I will kill any deer. After 30 yards I have to compensate a little. But while hunting I limit myself to 30 yards getting close is what bow hunting is all about so thats my limit. But I want you to know I am a hunter the 10 ring is good enough for me If you compete or 3d you may want to use more then 1 pin and get that 12 ring.

I use one pin and love it, no clutter to look through I have mine setup at 18-20 yards, once you practice at different distances youll get the hang of it.

I agree G2. That is the set up i use and love it. I will shoot from 10 to 30 yards with out having to even move it

almost exactly the way mine shoots but i sight it in for about 26 yrds and like david said i will never go back to multiple pins

Are you guys also using high performance bows,that shoot arrows close to 300 fps?
I have a BuckMaster 2000 bow with a 52lb pull and 29" draw.I don't know what my arrow speed is but I'm sure it isn't close to 300.
I need a new sight and I'm looking for my best options.Thanks
