How many pins do you use on your bow sight? and why?

4, but that is not an option. I guess I don't count... again

Edit: 30, 40, 50, 60. 60 is just for practice, and I donearly all of my practicing at 50 and 60 yards. Unless it is raining, then I can only get 25 yards in my barn.

1 pin 0-60 yards...HHA Optimizer!

I use three.

Top pin for shooting almost straight down.

Second pin for most shots, zero'd at 25 yards.

Third pin zero'd at 35 yards for longer shots.

Good luck,

7 pins here. It's fun on the range to shoot the long distances out to 80, and helps build confidence and make the shorter shots seem a lot easier.

I use 1 pin. Pins are just so close together anymore, they all blend into 1 big pin for me and I have a difficult time using the right one. There's just too much stuff going on up there for me to concentrate on.....1 pin just makes it very, very simple.

I do, however, have yardage markers, 7 of them.

KP...that seems odd, to me. I have practiced the straight down shot.....and I use my 50 yd pin to hit my mark. Same thing on a 3D target we had set up in a tournament one time at 2 yds.

Interesting.

I have 4 pins on my sight....and I wish it had 5. I like to PRACTICE at the longer distances a lot. I will shoot 80% of my shots at home from 40yds and beyond. I usually start at 40......shoot a few at 50......and then shoot my last few arrows at the shorter distances.

6 pins here. Later in the summer my hunting bow becomes my 3d bow to gear up for the season. 3d courses tend to have at least a few 50-60 yard shots so it's good to have those pins. Also as kshunter said practicing long distances is fun and makes those hunting shots a lot easier. Only the top 3 pins get used for hunting.

5 pins, i only use the top in the woods where i hunt(0-30) and the rest are for the open country in SD or target practice

1 pin Sight Master adjustable. I lock it in at 25 yards while hunting.
