If your using that bow set up for hunting I would suggest you bring it down to 2 pins you shoulden't need any more then that cause you shoulden't be shooting over 30 yards.And the less pins you have the less confusion in the heat of the moment.Remember we are bow hunting for a reason the close and personal experiance. If not get arifle!!! Mike

shouldn't shoot over 30 yards![8D] opinions you will get all kinds.
i use a 5 pin matrix, and yes that 60 yard pin comes in handy, when that bull of a lifetime stands out there at 62 yards. raking a tree, broadside, wind in your face. what do you do? bugle at him and watch him walk off, or sneak-up on him and "SNAP" shiiitttt, there he goes!
no you put your 60 pin right under his arm pit, the one you have praticed every night with. and get the pack frame out because your gonna need it!
just my thoughts!

I hunt with a three pin site.. I keep the extra two pins as back ups. I have had more then one break on me.. I can't imagine hunting with a single pin site out west.. I guess it's aimed at you whitetail treestand hunters?

for hunting 3 pins will get you by. But if your going to 3d . You will want more than 3 pins. When I shot hunter class I used a spot hog real deal 5 pin. And a sure-loc pin attachment w/ .19 razor pins.
