RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

That comes from not practicing enough to become "One with the Arrow". If you can get confused by 2 pins I bet a set of horns out past the ears would really confuse you.[:o][:-] Some call it buck fever.[&:][8D]:D;)

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

I don't know if you can pin it all on buck fever david. What if you're not comfortable at estimating ranges?? I can see how people want to use 1 pin and take the guess work out of it. Some people just have a tough time estimating range. I've second guessed myself about yardage more than once and I've seen plenty of bucks come in my wheelhouse in my time as I'm sure you have. And I'll tell you I'm well over buck fever!!
I can relate to the single pin although I don't use it now. It's kinda like a "tweener" in golf. 148 to the pin. Hit a hard 9 and draw it in?? It may get caught up in the wine if I don't flush it, maybe I should hit a soft 8 and cut it into the wind??? hmmmmmmmmmmmm stuck in the middle. And that's when you usually make an unforced error.

Earlier this year I took a shot at a 6 pointer that was 40 yards away I tryed calling to get him to come closer but he wouldnt so I had only one shot I aimed high because my pin is set for 25 yards I did miss but I wasnt far off my shot was right in line of the kill zone but it was in front of him. the deer jumped back and then ran off.:D:D;)

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

I agree with DavidMill on this one. Another disadvantage to one pin is say a deer shows up at 30 yds and say theres a branch hanging down between you at 10 yds. If you plces your one pin say set at 25 or whatever a little high on the deer its going to appear as though you will clear the branch and have a straight line to the deer. But you will hit the branch and your arrow will be gone. with a 10 yd pin on your sight you would see that the 10 pin was settled on the branch and although your 25 yd pin was on the deer you arrow will hit where the ten is settled first. I speak from experience on this one.

i shot with one pin today......i like it..........

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

I shoot ONE PIN............................................at a time.:D

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

I shoot a one pin sight for the very reasons david mentions. Sometimes things happen quick fast in a hurry when you are deer hunting and I don't always stay composed enough to pick the right pin. Therefore, I shoot a one move moveable sight that allows me to make yardage changes and still shoot a one pin sight. I have also found that adjusting my yardage allows me to take my mind off the task at hand and relax that extra little bit.

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

I can see where there might be some of that in the equation.

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

It would seem that when you are hunting and a deer comes in there isn't much time or opportunity to adjust a sight (ie - make a lot of movements) and then say you adjust for 25 yards and the deer presents a shot a 15?? Seems a bit difficult.

RE: single pin advantages and disadvantages
 

I agree that seems way too dificult. I'd rather be concentrating on the task at hand and every breathe he is taking and not moving my stinking pin!!
