Just curious, what yardage are your pins at? Im shootin a 5 pin? Any suggestions? Thanks guys.

RE: Pin Settings

20-30-40. I would think that a 5 pin would be a little shallow. For me anyway. I always thought about using a 10 but havent done it. Want to keep it simple.

Top pin is 0-30, second is 40 and third is 50. Im planning on getting the G5 Optix XR sight when it comes out. 3 fixed pins, 0-30 for the top, 40 for the second and 50 for the third but it also has a floating precision adjustable fourth pin for extended ranges past 50.

I shoot a single pin slider for hunting, but have yardages marked 20-70, increments of 10.

I'm in process of switching it over for 3D, in which case I'll have 5 fixed pins, 22, 27, 32, 37, and 42 yards.

I could never set 5 yard pin gaps, there'd be no gap. What do you do on a 50 yard target?

RE: Pin Settings
 

Won't be any 50 yard targets. I THINK 38 is as far as they go, but I'm not sure on that....

I know the gap is going to be tricky, so I'm using .010 pins and I'm using a triple track sight, at least I'm pretty sure it is...It's a double for sure. I've been pm'ing Matt/PA, and I took his recent thread to heart.....

The pin gap is EXACTLY why I use a single pin slider for hunting. Less mess and confusion, it's going to take some getting used to that's for sure.

RE: Pin Settings
 

If you're going to be shooting 320fps mobow. There's no way you can get the 5yd increments.

RE: Pin Settings
 

How do you mark your slider? I have a single pin but i feel like it is hard to accurately place in the same spot when i wanna shoot at 20 or 30 etc.

RE: Pin Settings
 

What are you shooting, ASA, IBO? At Worlds and a Cabelas shoot I've shot at 55 yard jakes.

Well Rob, to be honest, this is a learning process for me. I'm not sure what I'm shooting yet, I haven't educated myself quite that far. But I'm learning, and getting there. I know that all the shoots I've been too, I've not shot any that far, but I suppose if the need would arise I would hold high. Which is why 1 of them will be set for 42 yards....

I'm just going off of memory here, but I THINK in Matt's thread a while back he stated 38 yards was the max......I've been wrong before though.

RE: Pin Settings
 

For hunter class, Ipurposefully like to slow the bow down to the 280-290fps range and shoot a fattest shaft I can get to fly at that speed. This speed range gets mereally goodpin gaps, and honestly if your going to be competitive in hunter class you shouldn't be making yardage errors large enough to fall out of the 10 ring anyhow given the 35 yard max. If you know the distance these gaps were an advantage to me I felt. At 280-290fps the pin gaps that mobow said he uses are just about perfect,I believe I was shooting 20, 27, 32, 37 yard pins when I was in hunter class for the IBO, and 20, 30, 35, and 40 for ASA.

This year in MBR class I will likely be shooting 22, 28, 34, 40, 46.

RE: Pin Settings
 

I use one pinsighted in at 15 yds. I know how much it drops shoot accordingly.

RE: Pin Settings
 

FYI, IBO hunter class is supposed to be limited at35 yards, expect to see out to 37-38 though. ASA hunter class shoots out to 40 yards, but also expect to see 41-42 there as well.

RE: Pin Settings
 

I plan on setting my new sword up at 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40. I will be shooting ASA Hunter. I thought about starting at 22 but then when I shoot spots I won't have a pin set for the distance.

RE: Pin Settings
 

Ah, Hunter Class. Now I understand. Good luck bud.

RE: Pin Settings
 

I set mine at 10 - 20 - 35

RE: Pin Settings
 

X3 No sense in getting things too complicated at the moment of truth. ;)

RE: Pin Settings
 

10, 20, 30, 40, 50
