single pin vs multi pins. Thoughts?

[DoubleJ]

Thinking of switching to single pin next year.  I'm tired of tuning multiple pins.  Problem is, I have no idea how to use a single pin.  What are your thoughts?  Anyone with single pin experience?

i use a 4 pin slider by blackgold. i have 20-50 as fixed pins and then 50+ as a slider.
best of both worlds

Single pins all the way, better accuracy easy to use most have a tape that you adjust to your arrow speed. All you do is Dial in your 20 and 40 then do a little math and put the sticker on the wheel and that's it.

I use a single black gold myself

See, I can't afford a new sight.  Maybe next year I will be able to but, in the mean time, the plan is to take my multi pin sight, remove 4 of the pins, and center the 5th pin in the sight housing.  Then move the sight housing up or down until it's zero'd at 20 yards.  I only shoot a 49lb draw weight so, shots over 40 yards are not an option anyway.  With my bow, I should be able to hold a 20yd zero to almost 30 yards and compensate about a 3-4 inch drop out to 40.

This is all in my head of course.

I've never been able to tell if it's the Ram and a Half or the Ram Plus.  Any idea how to tell the difference?

[Dirty Mike]

on the ram cam and a half system there were numbers or letter that can be used as timing marks

Lemme go look

[DoubleJ]

there is only a cam on the bottom.  It says "Ram cam" in the decal circle and the only numbers I see say "Ram 8R"

Can't pull it back anymore.  Shoulder injury.  I can pull more, but not smoothly.

Multi pin for me. Try having a big bull come screaming in on a dead run and be at full draw. Unless you have a third arm to slide you pin with you are kinda sol. Unless you shoot a ton and really know your arch on your bow. A single pin can be harder to master.

Do what ever feels more natural. I like a 5-7 pin set-up, but with the faster bows these days, a single pin could simply the shot sequence for me a bit. I know I would have to do some mental retaining, but I know several shooters who do well with single pins. Ive also been seeing a trend of guys going for a 3 pin set up..20..40..60, and they practice gap shooting to comp the other distances...that makes some good sense to me also.
