Default Adjustable Sight Poll!!!

I use the SightMaster Pro Hunter adjustable sight and love it. I don't have to guess on how high or low to hold my pin to shoot between yardages.I just estimate the yardage, move my sight and hold dead on and shoot. It seems that it seems that most of you either use 1 pin or multiple pins and I was just wonder the reason that you choose to do this instead of using an adjustable sight?

I've been thinking about changing to an adjustable but I have some questions Do you mount your quiver and if you do can you make adjustments when it's on your bow. I don't hunt with my quiver on but use to carry my arrows to the woods. HOw quiet is your sight master. Thanks

I like my fixed pins for one simple reason. I don't have to worry about setting it to the right distance when it is go time. I know many guys that shoot them and have shot them for years, but I just prefer my fixed pins. It all comes down to one thing....and one thing only. What the person shooting the bow feels comfortable.

Tried the sightmaster for a season but have a fixed pin cobra ascent on new bow. I have no problem picking the correct pin and it is quicker for me. I didn't like the choice of leaving on 20 yards or adjusting sight before shooting. My brain has limited capacity. I agree that it is whatever makes you feel most confident. Mine was a sightmaster 2000 and the new sight has much brighter optics. New ones might be better.

On why I don't use an adjustable sight. If Mr. Big walks out and I forget to adjust the sight, I'll never be able to face my buddies again!!!!!!!

But really, I have a Sightmaster and while shooting 3-D I forgot to adjust and shot over a gimme. I took it off that evening and it's collected dust ever since. The longer I hunt, the more I realize that when it comes to hunting (not shooting targets), simpler is better. Less to go wrong, less to break, less to come loose, less to fall off....less to think about when the moment arrives.

This year I took off my $60.00 3-D Rover rest and switched to a $14.00 button/launcher. Quieter, less moving parts, more rugged. It also moved my rest closer to the end of the riser which made hand position a little less critical (more forgiving setup).

I have the HHA Optimizer lite moveable single pin sight and probably wont go back to multi pins.

When I get up in the tree i will use the range finder for the yardages so when that one does come in I will know what setting to use
plus it dont take but a second to adjust.
