Add another HHA single pin user to the tally.
I mark it at 20,30,40...out to 80.  But like above... you learn how much to compensate for different distances and angles.
So it doesn't need to be moved for every variable.  If you have time to adjust it and you know the range - its a slam dunk.  When I was learning a old timer told me of all the stuff he missed with multiple pins because in the heat of the moment he'd loose track of what's what.  He told me learn on a single pin.... and I have not looked back. It works for me.

So, I was looking at the HHA sights online and not sure what the exact difference is between the Optimizer Lite and the Optimizer Lite Ultra.  It appears that the Ultra has a different dial system to where you can dial in to the exact yard.  Is that correct?  Any other notable differences?  Also, the sight housing diameter is small that what I've used.  For those that use the HHA, what size peep do you prefer?

Make it simple, I still have the old sightmaster single pin system.

It has a 1" dia. tube with crosshair, I just drilled and tapped the top and bottom of the tube and added a top and bottom pin.

set it for 30 and you get a 20/40 and so on ;)

I have a single pin HHA and i'll never go back to a regular site again. I have distances from 10 to 70. Its very accurate. I leave mine set at thirty and with my x-force theres only about three inches differnce at 40. I always use a range finder when I hunt.

I love the single pin sights but I doubt I'll ever use one for. Yeah, at greater distances you usually have time to adjust but there is that small chance that you could miss an opportunity that you could have capitized on with multi pins.

Still love the sight just don't want to take a chance of missing the opportunity of a lifetime.

There is a great article in the current Eastman's on this exact topic, it is a good article.  Essentially the conclusion was the best all around is a fixed pin sight on a moveable trac that you dedicate the bottom pin as your floater.

this is what I'm looking at for my firecat,  1 fixed pin  1 floater or "hybrid"  - don't have one yet so I can't review but I like the concept
Honesty is the best policy,  but insanity is a better defense.
