I've hunted with a single pin for a few years. My new sight has two on it for now but I'll probably remove one soon.

All you gotta do now is get rid of that last pin and BE FREE! [8D]

I hunted with my bows for more than 20 years before I ever tried sights. Hunted a few times with sights and decided... I like sights for target shooting but can't stand them on a hunting bow.

You got a point, Arthur P. When I first started bowhunting at age 15 I shot instinctive only, and killed two nice bucks in the first 4 years. I have to add though that back when I was a kid, I shot several hours every day and was a hell of a shot. I lived for bowhunting and dreamed not of girls in my sleep but of my bow! With wife and kids now, I don't get to practice much and that one pin keeps me in the game.

This up coming season will be my forth using one pin, I find it far easier using one pin, the minor adjustment for different distances come naturally after enough practice.

I just might do the same thing myself.I am shooting pins now at 20-30-40 yards and the 20 isn"t to far from the 30.I will probably site it in for 25 yards and be done with it.Will keep my 40 yard pin on though of-course

extreme1 I would like to advise you to do this well before season, you need to practice enough to where holding that little bit high or low becomes natural, once you have praticed enough it will come natural.

Like everyone else here, I recently switched to a single pin mover and really like it. Just like all else, I like the simplicity of it. No using the wrong pin, the sight window isn't cluttered, and I, too, have mine set @ 25 yards and leave it alone. I don't know about ya'll, but I get nervous enough when I know I am gonna get a shot. The less I have to think about, the better.

One pin is all anyone needs as long as he or she knows exactly where the shaft hits on the POA at distances greater or less than the sighting-in yardage. I was using one pin on recurves in the 60's and on my compounds in the early 70's.

However, regardless that today's compound bows, even some recurves, are capable of greater energy, there is no such animal as a "flat trajectory" with an arrow off any bow. Additionally, the degree of drop is highly individual to the person, to the bow, to the arrow setup, and with height and angle, etc.

Although your bow might be considered a high-energy bow (fast), when you sight in at 20 to 25 yards, other factors might be putting that arrow on the mark at its peak of trajectory. Therefore, the arrow might drop very quickly past the distance of sighting in. Correspondingly, if the arrow is peaking its trajectory at 20 or 25 yards, a 10 to 15 yard shot off the pin-setting might send the arrow very low below the zone.

Set the pin at a fixed yardage, but know positively where the arrow hits at less or greater yardage the sighting-in distance, and from the heights and angles you will be shooting from and at when in actual hunting conditions.

What works for one, seldom works for all.

Always used one pin for hunting. It just becomes natural, knowing where to hold at a given distance. There's never the decision making problem. Which pin do I use? No second guessing. Is that the right pin? Practice, and one pin becomes second nature.

Careful there, Phil... You're going to sire a new shooting style if you don't watch yourself. SPIS = Single Pin Instinctive Shooting.
