Do any of you use only 1 pin?
 
Do any of you use only 1 pin on your sight. If you do, then do you have to aim high or low depending on the yardage or do you just aim dead on?

I shoot a Keller pendulum, Mathews outback at 250 fps. I can use my sight from 0-40 yards aiming dead on, but in low light conditions, its real hard to see my pin with no fiber optics or light.

For the longest time I used a pendulum. Then I went over to fixed pins, and have 4 of them on my sight, but have only ever used my top pin to shoot at a deer. I just don’t shoot very far.

I was shooting a FoxFire one pin sight but it cost me a shot at a big 8 earlier this year so I took GR8's advice and got an HHA. I got the Optimizer 5500 with the rheostat. WOW what a great sight. 5 feet of fiber optic wrapped around the sight. It's unbelievable the amount of light that thing pulls in. It's adjustable but I keep it set at one spot. I practiced enought to know where to aim at certain ranges from a stand from 10-35 yards...one pin! No guessing!

I shoot one pin, but mine is also adjustable.

However, if I were to shoot a single, fixed pin, I would sight it in for 25 yards. That's where I keep my slider for hunting. I'm 1 inch high at 20 yards, and 1 inch low at 30 yards. Any farther than 30 and I would have to adjust my aiming point.
