How many pins are on your sight?
 

I' ve been reading lots of post about sights and low light problems. I switched to a single 20 yard sight a while back and find that it coveres all my shooting needs. When shooting less than 20 yards I know that I have to shoot low. When shooting longer that 20 yards I have to shoot high. From the amout I shoot I just know where to put my pin and am very accurate. My question is this, Am I the only one who shoots with just one pin? If so, How many pins do you have on your bow and at what distances are they sighted in at? I shoot 60# and carbon arrows so my trajectory is very flat out to 30 yards. I has worked for me and I can see better at low light. I' m just curious how you all set up? Thanks for the input....

That is exactly how I shoot, sounds very familiar.:D

I shoot single pin also, it just comes natural where to hold after enough practice.

1 pin (adjustable) usually set at 20 yrds ! Impact Cosmic........love it !! :D

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

1 pin (adjustable) set at 25 yards.

I guess I should have also asked, If you shoot just one pin do you have problems with low light? If it' s questionable I don' t shoot but I find that I get a few extra minutes after the suns goes.

I shoot 3 pin, but I' ve thought of the single pin, just didn' t have enough time to practice before season started. I have those one' s that are supposed to suck up all available light and be good till the last drop of light is gone. They work pretty well so far as I' ve been able to tell. If I went to single pin I' d go for the same type of pin, or I could just take out the extra 2 that I have now. The green and yellow are the easiest to see late at night, the red is not so good. The yellow, however, is even better than the green.

I shoot 2 pins

20 & 30 yards

I shoot a one pin adjustable hha optimizer, it actually has a light on it that lights the end of the fiber optic pin and makes a real nice soft light, no glow to contend with,,, it really works nice. as far as the adjustable goes, well i dont have a touchmaster on it, thats one thing i liked about my old sightmaster was the touchmaster that would let you move your sight at full draw,, i miss that but i do like this sight and i shoot a lot like you guys i just aim high or low depending on the situation....

I have no problems seeing my pin in low light. Even 1/2 hour after the sun has set. I use a HHA Optimizer-Lite. Model OL-5000.

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

I shoot 4 pins 10 20 30 40. Never tried 1 pin although I know others that use this method. It' s not like you came up with something new here after all you do the same with a rifle scope. It' s all what you like, and can shoot with confidence.

I never have a low light problem with my copper john sight.

Used to shoot an adjustable single pin. I just left it set at about 18 yds. And adjusted to longer or shorter ranges. But since then I have switched bows and sights and now have a 3 pin tru glo. They are set at 10, 20, and 30. The 10 and 20 are basically on top of each other because of the speed my bow gets. But the 30 is a little lower. So far using this set up has worked welll. But I have given some thought to a pendulum.

I use three pins, mainly because my hunting bow is also my target/practice bow. Green set at 20, Yellow set at 32, Red set at 45. While hunting the colors translate to a traffic signal: Go, Caution, and Stop (and really think about that 45 yard shot flinging through the trees).

All my shots have been under 25 yards, so the Green has been the only sight in my vision ;) if ya' know what I mean...

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

I use one pin set at 20 yards. I' ll have more trouble seeing thru my peep, than seeing my pin, but that will be after leagle shooting light anyway....

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

Adams, i shoot one pin out to 30 yards. past there i will let a deer walk. but i had a problem with seeing my pin. so i bought a trintium pin a positioned it right above my other pin. it works great!! i have shot alot of deer using it. i shoot 64# and goldtip carbon arrows.

Wow, lots of 1-pinners here.

My sight has 5, a Trophy Ridge Nitro Xtreme, which I use for 3D and indoor spots as well as for hunting. The pins are set at ranges from 18 to 50 yards. Don' t panic, I' ve never shot at a deer over 30.:D

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

Three pins, 30, 50, 70. The 30 (green) is centered in the pin guard to be easy to see. At 295 fps the top pin covers from 0-35 yds. The 50(red) and 70(yellow) are for long range form practice and I use the 30 to 50 pin gap to help me judge distance. I bracket the deers chest and if the deer is smaller than the 30 to 50 pin gap it is farther than 35 yds. This assumes a 16" chest depth so it only works on larger bucks. That makes for a good double check when unsure of distance and can be performed at full draw unlike a laser. That also happens to be my maximum shot distance. The 70 is really fun for shocking people. They think there is no way you can get close to the bullseye at that range.

My Tru-Glo pins are 20,30,40. I' m comfortable that way and need the 3 pin setup. I' m not that good enough to use a single pin! :eek:

I shoot a 1-pin. +/- 2" from 0 - 32yds. If your not already, you may also consider shooting with both eyes open, this would be a huge help in low-light.

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

1 pin (adjustable) set @ 25 yards. This will allow me to hold dead on out to 30 yards. I tried the multi pin setups and got confused in the heat of the moment plus I found myself second guessing my yardage estimating. Also I suck at shooting the gap for between yardages. One pin is so simple, besides it helps me keep myself in check since I' m not comfortbale shooting at a deer much past 30 yards.

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

One pin, pendilum sight 20-50 by 5. Always set at 20 while hunting.

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

I have 3 pins on my sight but I only use the top one which is set for 20 yards. The other I use for 3D season and they are set at 30 and can' t remember the third one. I don' t think it' s set. Deer season I use the 20 pin and shoot for hair not air.

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

One pin set @ 20 yds. covers me from 30 on in.[:-]

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

2 pins

one set at 27 yds
one set at 35 yds

I shoot to 40

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

5 pins

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

One green fiber optic pin for me sighted in at 25 yards as well!![:-]

RE: How many pins are on your sight?
 

I shoot 3 pins if for no other reason than peace of mind. I know that if I get rid of one them and I take a shot at a deer that is at that removed-pin' s distance and miss then I will be kicking myself in the rear for days and weeks to come...;).

However, if I would have that pin on my sight and still miss then I would not have anything to blame but myself. :D It is all psychological in my case. :)
