1st pin 22
2nd pin 28
3rd pin 33

My husband and I shot our pin set up like this last year. He did REALLY well (world champ)so I would suggest trying it.

Have a nice day--BB

I shot the HC last year and I elected to use a 20,30, and 35. I found myself pin gapping the 20 and 30 alot. I would recommend putting some $ in a good 0.019 pin sight (Like an Extreme) and shoot 20,25,30,35.

Grndzer,

Let me explain the benefits of the three pin set up that I mentioned earlier.

#1 The closest avg. shoot encountered is around 22 yards, which is your first pin.

#2 Less chance of confusing 3 pins than vs having 4 pins.

#3 With an even pin gap being 5yds between you are more accurate than vs gapping 10 yards.

#4 Yes you dont have a pin set at 35 yds, but 33 yd pin is accurate too. With a bow of decent speed you just hold high on the ten with the bottom pin and you will drop nicely in the ten. As the same with the 22 yard pin, if the yardage is 20 you just hold low in the ten ring.

An accurate rangefinder is necessary to set this up, it may seem unusual at first but in time you will see it is a sweet set up.

GO CO-ED TEAMS!!!--BB

I have heard of this method before. I am awating new pins for sureloc my pins where rusted right out of the box so they said they would replace them, when they do I will try this setup

Thanks
