Sight Pins
 

I was wondering what size pins u guys shoot with. I have0.29 size pins and i havetroubleseeing them when i am shooting 3d. im thinking bout getten a sight with bigger pins. what do u guysthink

RE: Sight Pins
 

I have .019 pins all five of them!

RE: Sight Pins
 

I didnt post that right. i have .029 sight pins and i cant see them clearly somtimes when shooting 3d they tend to blur together. do u guys thing i need to get a sight with bigger pins.

RE: Sight Pins
 

Usualy if the .029 pins are blurring it could be cause they are to bright and are getting a halo effect. I prefer .019 pins with a light, if they arent bright enough in certain situations you can always turn on your light.

RE: Sight Pins
 

Many guys stagger the pin size from smaller to larger. larger for longer shots smaller for closer shots. Rob will probably pop in but I believeI remember that heshoots .010 pins.

I would think larger pins would only make your situation worse. Do you wear glasses? Recent eye exam? Do you shoot a sight with an extension arm?

RE: Sight Pins
 

I always thought they staggered them using larger pins close and smaller pins for longer shots because the smaller pin would cover less of the target.

I just got a sight with .029in pins, its has very little black around the pins, this helps me a lot.

Could be Passthru..I'm not sure, it's not a practice I use.

could be your eyes.I had the same problem.I got a peep and # 5 verifier from Specialty Archery.Fixed me right up.You can order them direct from them http://www.specialtyarch.com/verifiers.aspor order from Keystone Country Store.

RE: Sight Pins
 

It's actually the opposite of this. I use .019 for my top two pins and .010 for my bottom 3. Smaller pins cover less of your target (which will appear smaller at longer ranges). Passthru is correct.

.029 is pretty big. I wasn't even aware they made one, LARGER.

RE: Sight Pins
 

I prefer .019 if your vision will allow
I use 7 pins 30 yards being the first pin
It helps if you have a lighted setup for low light on .019`s

RE: Sight Pins
 

I use all .19 pins, and the next sight I get is going to have a couple .10 on it. .29 isa pretty big pin. If they are too bright, they will give you a halo, and that will make it seem like the pins are running together. Or...it might be time for an eye test!

Anything BIGGER than .029 and your "spot" on a 20yd deer would be "Thorax".
