Single pin adjustable. Been using one for going on 10 years and I can't remember many times ever having to move it.

Great Topic guys... I have been second guessing my single pin after years of success.. My first wounded deer occured this fall and I am re thinking everything. Nice too see I am not the only single pin guy here.

thanks for all the info guys.
some of you talk of 60 or even 80 yrd pins,
do many of you take shots at that range.
i was thinking of a two pin setup, one at 20
and one at 30 or 35 yrds. like i said thanks
for all your input.

One pin on my impact archery cosmic sight.I have it set at 20 and that pin works from just under my tree stand out to 30.Also the yardage adjustments are made with two simple thumbscrews on the side.Durring the season when I practice shoot(yardages from 10 to 60)I put a liquid paint mark on the back of the sight block,it gives you a pretty quick refference on how far the pin gap is+/- from the 20 yard mark.It took me too many years finally simplifi my shooting[:@]Heres some interesting stuff for those that are interestedScroll down and go to the Hunter Speed Chart. http://www.vitalbowgear.com/vertpin.cfm

4 pins, 20, 30, 40, & 50 yards, but never use the 50 except for the range.

I have two 20 and 40. I tried 20 and 30 but the two pins where to close to each other.

One set at 25 yards. I can shoot out to a little over 30 yards with no hold over and still be in the lower part of the kill zone.

i started shooting with one pin several years ago. I got a new bow last year and wanted to have multiple pins but just couldn't get used to seeing all of the pins in the peep. Accruacy was terrible. took extra pins out (and a few other adjustments) and whallla, accuracy was back. I still don't have confidence at 30 with one pin, but hope to get more practice in this year (only had a month or so of "good" practice with the new bow last year).
