None. I hunted with a sight maybe 3 or 4 times about 20 years ago and decided I would never again have sights on a hunting bow. If I did use a sight, I'd probably use 1 pin set at 27 yards.

I shot just one pin last year for hunting set at 25. I got a new sight about a month ago and it has 3 pins. I'm planning on stripping at least one pin if not two off this sight by this season.

2 pins. The first set at 25 and the second set at 40. from 10 to about 30 yards all the arrows will stay in the "10 ring". At 35 I aim between my 25 yard pin and my 40, and from 37 to about 43 my 40 yard pin stays in the 10. I also have one set at 60 just for practice.

I use 4 set for 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards. The 50 yard pin is for practice only, I won't shoot at game that far.

Had 5 pins 20-30-40-50-60 yds came with the bow (used) The guy was into competition shooting Xs. The color placement was green red yellow red green. I Changed sight and pins to three -20-30-40 yds/paces.

AS AN ASIDE: I've never seen a pin for less than 20 yards as I believe the arrow hasn't lost it's wobble or begun to spin until 15 yards. I use the 30 at 7-10 yards and have yet to miss the "10" ring.
