RE: shooting with 3 pins vs. 1 pin
If your like me , you' ll have to try both. But the one pin is the way to go, especially in low light situations(when it counts). I really like the one pin adjustable sights !

RE: shooting with 3 pins vs. 1 pin
If you are going to limit yourself to one pin only why even use a sight at all?

RE: shooting with 3 pins vs. 1 pin
Why are you going to have a bunch of pins if your only using one 99% of the time in most hunting situations ?

RE: shooting with 3 pins vs. 1 pin
I dont use a pin at 15 yards or closer, 18 yards I use the top pin
25 the middle 35 the bottom pin. the last deer I harvested I used the bottom pinIf I only had 1 20 yard pin I would not have Been able to take the shot with only one pin. When I hunt I dont limit my self to only one distance I like to have a viriety of range which I can actually shoot from. with only one pin you are limited to shooting within the renge your pin is set up for. |
RE: shooting with 3 pins vs. 1 pin
Your right ! It depends on the set up though . Which ours are obviously very different. Mine will shoot 0-35 yrds with a 20 yrd pin out of a tree stand with virtually no drop at all. If my 18-25-35 yardage was very critical I might re-think my position. But I' ll take my 1 pin over none anyday, I' m not good enough to go instinctive. [8D]

RE: shooting with 3 pins vs. 1 pin
I don' t use sights at all any more. If you would commit yourself to practicing once or twice a week and develop the ability to shoot accurately without relying on those pins, you' d find you have a good many advantages in the woods over someone that uses sights. Especially in low light situations.
I shot my ProTec fingers/barebow at our club' s charity shoot Sunday. Got a 260 out of a 300 possible. |
RE: shooting with 3 pins vs. 1 pin
1 pin, also only have only 1 scope on my gun. Good thing I don' t have to limit my shooting to what my scope is set at.

RE: shooting with 3 pins vs. 1 pin
I shoot 3 pin v-pin system don' t like 5 pincause for me its too many choices. I shoot 20 , 30, 40 yrds I try not to shoot over 30 and haven' t harvested anything out that far... back yard i shoot out to 50 yrds just before hunting i go down to my pro shop and shoot at pop up 3d' s in the 20 - 30 yrd range to get sims of hunting real life.. this works for me!!!

RE: shooting with 3 pins vs. 1 pin
LOL jerseyhunter, it sucks when a deer' s at 100yds and my 30-06 is only sighted for 200.
1 pin for hunting, with most bows shooting a decent speed, just about anybody with a decent draw weight and carbon arrows can use 1 pin out to 30 with no trouble. When I had a bunch of pins I picked the wrong one on a nice buck, back when I shot instinctive, I sent one through a nice set of antlers one time because I failed to concentrate. Haven' t failed to drag a deer home yet that I shot at using 1 pin. Makes it much easier on myself when I get excited |
RE: shooting with 3 pins vs. 1 pin
I don' t see why some people think it is so difficult to compensate for drop (or " rise" for that matter) with one pin. IF you know an animal is at 30 yards and you know your arrow drops 2" at 30 yards, pick a spot 2" above where you want to hit and aim for that spot.....It' s really no that hard. You' re still picking a spot and aiming for that spot.
