single pin vs multi pin sight(What sight are you using???)
« on: August 12, 2011, 10:35:55 AM »
I went from a 7 pin spot hogg to a single pin adjustable hha sight. I do enjoy the single pin. What are your preferences.......

4 pin black gold ascent. Best of both worlds. Fixed pins to 50 moveable after that

Funny, I just put on a 7 pin SH. I love it so far, I will admit aiming with a single pin is AWESOME. Sight picture etc... If I was hunting areas with out alot of vegetation i would strongly consider using one. But for me having multiple pins to "weed" the brush in a variety of situations is non-negotiable.

there is nothing faster to acquire your target then a multi pin sight and for that reason i would never hunt without one

:yeah: But....Thinking about it...My normal hunting shots are < 30 yds. If the pin was set to 30 yds. I could hold the pin just a little low to be on. I could see where practice with one may work if you limit your range.

I would say one pin is good for a tree stand hunting where you know your shot distances. If you are on the move you need more pins to react quickly with changing yardages.  :twocents: 
A Bowtech shooter now

I usually do 4 pins on a movable head, but this is a 5 pin I have been playing with..

How do you like that site?  I have a SH 7 deadly pin now but considering changing and getting the .10 pins.  Seriously looking at the armortech and black gold.

I've got a dumb question. I bought a bow last year with a Truglo ( I know I can't use it ) that has 4 pins. My question is, If I want to use 1 pin and set it at say, 30 yards, would that be a good general range, sorta like a rifle at 100 yards ? I've practiced at 20 yds and was pretty consistant. When I draw back, you have all these pins and get confused in the heat of the moment, which one is which? Suggestions please. Thanx all. :archery_smiley:

If i was just going to use one pin, how i set it up would depend on what i was hunting..
What would you be after?
