I wont move it for hunting but we had a 134 yard shot in camp and its dang easy to whoop the boys at camp when you have a pin for the long shots... I also got it so I could practice out to a 100 yards in the summer. It makes them 40-50 yrd shots seem like a duck....
Its been a rugged sight so far, as said before, the pins are nice and bright when need be and the photo cover over the fiber optics also make it nice and dim in bright daylight. I dont think you can go wrong with one :tup:

How fast is your bow shooting? I have a single, horizontal pin on my BG Ascent. On my Athens Ibex I was shooting 286 ftps. I would practice with it set at 30 yards and shoot different ranges from 10 - 40 yards. For 20 yards I aim about 6" low and for 40 yards I aim 8" high. For me anything past 40 yards has to be an absolute ideal shooting situation and I figure I'll have a couple of seconds to adjust the sight if need be.

for a 3d or target only rig single pin mover is more practical. There is usually a lot of difference from 20-40 yards and I wouldn't want to have to hold over or under 8-10 inches on a buck or bull because I can't adjust.
