Another vote for HHA 5500 with the adjustable rheostat dial which you can adjust to make that pin brighter or duller. Works like a champ. Certainly no need for any added lights on the HHA!

I just want to know how you set your bow to shoot dead on from 0 to 35 yards that's unbelivable.My 22 won't do that.
With my bow/arrow/broadhead package I have less than 6" ondrop from 10-30 yards. At 10 yards I know to hold a little low and then by the time I'm shooting out at 30 yards, I'm holding the pin directly where the arrow will hit.

I shoot a Impact Archery singal pin and absolutly love it!
Ditto, I shoot the jumbo single pin with an 6" extention bar. Very bright and durable.

I just have a question. How do you keep your arrow dead on at 0-35 yards from one pin? Im not doubting you by any means, i just want to know how u do it. Is it the sight?

See my explanation above. It takes practice but I am confident in where I need to hold the pin at any range. It eliminates the confusion between several pins. Works very well for me! The doe I smoked 2 days ago can testify to that!! ;)

I also have a cobra it's a pendulum/slide combo,great light gathering ability.No worries about not being able to see the pin at dusk here.I just want to know how you set your bow to shoot dead on from 0 to 35 yards that's unbelivable.My 22 won't do that.
I don't know about 0-35 yards. It depends on the bow's speed. I did some checking a few years ago with a bow shooting about 264 fps. Sighted in at 25 yards, I started shooting in five yard increments (5. 10, 15, and so on). At five yards the arrow was just about the same as 25. At 10 & 15 essentially 1"+ high. About 1 3/4: high at 20. At 30 yards arrows hit about 2 1/2" low. 3" low as about 32 yards.

So in essence this showed me I could set the sight for 25 yards and shoot anything within 30 yards, with a mid body hold, and still hit well in the vitals. No muss, no fuss. Just determine if the dseer is within 30 yards and make the best shot I can when everything is right. If I have to guess if he's over 30 yards then he gets a walk. That's about as far as I can get any clear shots in the woods I hunt anyway.

Now, if I should be in a place where 25 yards might be the longest available shot then I set the sight for 20 yards.

So I guess it's possible to be able to shoot 0-35 without moving the sight, especially if speeds are in the 275-280 fps range. Just takes a little know how. Basiclly shooting your equipment and becoming familar with what it can do.

Exactly! It's all about knowing my equipment and what my effective range is and where to hold the pin.
