Archery Pins

<< < (2/5) > >>

Stein:
I'm similar to others here with the want for more flexibility if an animal moves once I've ranged and dialed.  I shoot a 3 pin with the top and bottom pins floating with two separate needles on the dial.  I used to shoot a 5 pin fixed, but am a much better archer with a dial as I apparently wasn't very good at splitting pins with great accuracy.

D-Rock425:
There's a few advantages and disadvantages and a lot of it will depend on the archer and their style of hunting.   Sight picture and the ability to dial to any yardage is an advantage for some signal pin shooters.  Spot hogg makes a set of 3 vertical pins called a triple stack that gives you the sight picture of a single pin but the advantage of a multi pin sight. 

blackveltbowhunter:
Couple things that might he overlooked is arrow speed, archers range estimation accuracy, and anticipated cover in the terrain. I shoot a triple stack and like it. But the extra pins are primarily for flight path obstacle reference rather than needed for actual aim ( but if you hwve them, use them). If you are shooting a fairly quick arrow setting one pin to cover distances from 0 to 40 with nominal hold variation is pretty easy. For me If I'm estimating the shot being over 45 yards I won't shoot without a lasered range.  Since I'm primarily solo if I have time to range, I have time to dial,. If the shot opportunity can't afford an extra 2 seconds the shot is already too rushed.

zwickeyman:
I use a single adjustable but I think I like it because I shot a stick bow for 30 years and the last 10 years shot point on

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

Karl Blanchard:
Another 3 pin slider guy here. It's a happy medium. Allows me point blank to 60 without dialing then the option to dial further if needed.
