I shoot a single pin moveable sight, but when Im hunting I just live it set on about 25 yards, that covers me out to 30 pretty good. If I have a lot of time before the shot Ill move the sight to the exact yardage but if theres not much time and its within 30 yards or so, I can make the shot just fine with it set at 25.

I shoot single pin. I sight in my bow at 20 yards and thats where that pin stays for hunting! I do shoot alittle 3D and for fun out to 50 yards so I do have additional markings, but for hunting I just keep it at 20 yards. 20 yards gives me from about 0 to 23 yards I'm right on. If I have a 30 yard shot I aim about 3 1/2" high. I actually aim for the spine or bottom of the spine at 30 yards. When shooting 1 pin you learn very quickly how high to aim for a shot, but most are right on.

Good Luck!

I just changed to trophy ridge sight and carbon arrows. When I sighted my ow in I started at 10 yards with the top pin, after getting it set I moved back to 15 and shot, then 20, 25 and finally 35 yards. During all of this the only pin I used was the first one, my 10 yard pin, so although I have more pins I only use one from 10 to 35 yards.

HHA Optimizer Lite ( they have a bunch of models) and the Impact Archery Cosmic. These are high Quality adjustable sights!

Good Luck!

I shoot an Impact Cosmic I love it, another good one is the HHA Optimizer, both work well but cost a little more than 40 dollars, I think about 60 or so, or check out some classifieds on the net or ebay. They are both made strong and quiet and hold up well to hunting and abuse.
