I have them set at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 on my Hoyt. The Pearson wears an HHA single pin sight that is adjustable from 20 to 60. I'll never shoot a deer past 40 yards, but the extra 20 yards is fun to shoot at targets, plus, I was at our club's 3D shoot yesterday, and there were several targets at 50 yards and beyond.....

20 and 30. Can't see much farther than that in the woods I hunt. I have never even used the 30 yard pin unless I was shooting targets.

20, 35, and 50. The 50 is a reference mark to help me with distance estimating.
How do you use the 50 yd pin for estimating?

Its just one more set distance that I can get used to. It helps me to see the size of targets fifteen yards out of my comfort range. I still suck at distance estimating, so I am trying everything to get better.
