Single pin sights?
« on: May 29, 2014, 09:40:20 PM »
How can these be accurate? I was watching a show and the guy was showing how great it is. Just range find and then dial your yardage and shoot. everyone shoots different equipment. different arrow weights and broadheads weights. How can a one pin site be spot on?
If its brown knock it down

You have to adjust it to fit your bow. Like sight it in at 20 and then add the rest of the yard ages.

You use a computer program like Archers Advantage and enter all the applicable stats and measurements of your set up, and it'll give you sight tapes made for your specific sight that you tape into the sight yourself. This giving you a calibrated sight tape for your exact set up.

These sights don't come with one tape that works for every bow and arrow configuration.

I ordered a Trophy Ridge React 5 pin sight that claims to have 5 pins on after sighting in the 20 yard and one other distance pin. So set two pins and the other three are supposed to be on, basically. We'll see how it works in practice. I have the same skepticism you do since all setups are a bit different, but maybe it's accurate enough for the shorter distances I'm likely to be shooting for a while.

Here's Cameron Hanes shooting a single pin sight (by Hogg Father I believe) to put a maybe dinner plate sized group at 160 yards;

Cam's Spyder Turbo 160 Yard 5-shot group

Now, is he holding high or low slightly because he's shot so much with this setup that he knows its shortcomings and how to make up for them? Or would it shoot comparably accurate if it were in a mechanical vise? I don't know.
