Single pin sights for hunting?
« on: December 29, 2013, 06:06:47 PM »
Been contemplating switching from a spot Hogg 5 pin to a single slider for hunting.  Anyone use a single pin for deer and elk?  And of course the next question is which one is a top pick?

I started out along time ago with multi pins ...had no problem...then I went to a single pin that was adjustable ...liked that too ...now I am back to a multi pin set up .... can not say I prefer one over the other ... :twocents: :tup:

I used a Trophy Taker slider.  Worked good for deer this season.  HHA is another very good brand.

I shoot a 4 pin slider. Best of both worlds.

I shoot an HHA single pin on slider currently, but I think I would be going to a 4 pin on a slider if I replaced it.

I use a single pin since my close vision waned.  Don't have a choice. Can't pick one pin out of a group.

I just changed over to the HHA single pin system and its great.  I hunt from tree stands and it works very well. I also have a vision problem and had to change to a single pin system. :)

If in open country and no treestand, use multiple pins.

If hunting whitetail from a stand, single in is best... especially if you are one to get nervous.

I run a 7 pin Hogg-It but am tempted to run the Hogg Father. Just skeptical because shot opportunities seem to happen rather quickly and I'm not sure I'd want to have to dial the yardage

Lojack that is exactly why I run a 4 pin mover. Inside 50 yards I pick a pin without much clutter. If outside 50 yards I figure I should have time to dial the yardage and make a precise shot. If not I probly shouldn't take the shot anyhow.
