What's your honest maximum effective range
If 60-65 is your max under hunting conditions you could just delete two pins from your fixed site.
I've done this before and it's easy to get confident with a 20, 40, and 60 pin.

  I can stack arrows at 60 yards, but don't think I have ever taken anything past 45 yards.  I will be hunting in South Africa next spring and the hunting will be a combo of blind hunting, and spot and stalk. Some critters freeze like black tails, while others will move stop and repeat.  I have a 3d range on my property that some targets are set at 60.  Most of the time I hunt black tail and elk from a stand and usually 20 to 30 yard shots.  Will be going after Zebra, Gnu, Blesbuck, Warthog, Impala, Spring buck and jackal's.  The placement of their vitals is different that ours here, so will have to retrain myself where to shoot as well.  on a personal opinion and I mean personal, I doubt I would take a shot past 60 yards as I feel the kinetic energy would be diminished.

Will look into that sight, never heard of it, and like the idea of a fixed top and bottom.

When still hunting Elk or Deer my pin is always at 30 yards. When spot and stalk my pin is at 50 yards then keep dialing as I get closer

IMHO there are more cons then pros but I still choose single pin because I shoot them better at practice and hunting

Pros:
Clearer sight picture, with a fast bow the pins are too close together for me
Dial to exact yardage so no need to split pins

Cons:
Sometimes cant dial when animal changes distance
Forget to change the pin back ( never done on an animal but have done at practice )

Bottom line is do what works best for you as everyone is different

I can see in the heat of the moment forgetting to either dial it, or forgetting to factory reset after :chuckle:

Thank you everyone of the valuable insight!  Mid next month will be heading to the local bow shop to get some 125 grain fixed blade broad heads and new arrows.  Will look at your recommendations on some you tube videos and may purchase a new sight or stick with my current one.  Just got a forearm tattoo, so testing this bow in the next few days will not be happening  :chuckle:
