angus 74 do you aim a little low at 10 yards......will the arrow rise.

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

I use 1 pin out to 40 yards.

Sight you bow 1-2 inches high at 10 yards.
You should be dead on to an inch or so high at 20 depending on your arrow speed.

If you sight in your pins like this you will be covered out to around 25 yards with out having to compinsate any difference. Just place your pin on the lungs and shoot!!! Good luck.

Angus 74 is correct....those sights cost more than 40 bucks. They are good though.

Check out the Cobra Easy Slide sight also. I actually prefer it over the other two, but it is just a personal preference.

I am pretty sure they are all in the same price range....60-70 bucks.

If you check out the Cobra, and decide you might want to try a good used one, send me an e-mail. I have several of them.

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

I have used 1 pin for the past 5 years. I liked the simplicity if it and had it set at 20 yards (figured that would be the distance i'd be shooting at).
As i understatnd it, (for most bows) the 20 yard pin will be dead on at 10 yards (the way the arrow flies). I did practice some at 30 yards and could get withing 8" or so, but probably wouldn't have evere shot at that distance. At shorter distances (15 yds)
With all that said I think I will be putting at least 3 pins on my new bow (15, 20, 30 yards) to take away some of the guess work.

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

I shoot 2 pins, but if i had to go with only one on my sight, i know that the 10 to 20 yard pin is about 1 quarter inch apart almost exactly. It all depends on the sight you have and the bow you are shooting.;)

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

I shoot a single pin set at 20yds. This is sufficent to shoot to 30 yards with very little adjustment on shot placement. I find that with 3 or more pins on my bow they tend to overlap and "clutter" my view when I'm setteling in on a target. I never shoot beyond 30 yards give or take a yard or two so additional pins aren't needed. Also, I shoot enough through out the year if I had to make a longer shot I could easily adjust out to about 40 yards.

The off season is a time to play around with equipment and tinker with thing that just don't feel right. Strip off your other pins and give it a shot. I'm sure you'll like it better and if I'm wrong you'll have all summer to get those pins back on.

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

less confusion if u have a single pin. i have actually completely forgot how far i was when i was practicing and used my 10 yard pin at 20 yards. shot 3 times before i figured out wut the h*ll was going on

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

will this work if i take off my other two pins and just use one.....but it don't look like a single pin sight.......i don't see why it won't work.......this is what my sight looks like wright now....

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

It will work if you take off two of your pins, and then set the one pin for the yardage you want to shoot. If you can hold off of the 30 plus yardshots, Id set for 25. You will be about two inches high at ten yards and about one or two low at 30, depending on your arrow speed. If your bow shoots fast, those numbers will be even closer.
