Title: Single pin sights for hunting?
Post by: hogslayer on December 29, 2013, 06:06:47 PM: Been contemplating switching from a spot Hogg 5 pin to a single slider for hunting. Anyone use a single pin for deer and elk? And of course the next question is which one is a top pick?

I shoot an HHA single pin on slider currently, but I think I would be going to a 4 pin on a slider if I replaced it.

Post by: smalldog on January 01, 2014, 06:11:31 PM: I just changed over to the HHA single pin system and its great. I hunt from tree stands and it works very well. I also have a vision problem and had to change to a single pin system. :)

I use the spot and stalk method and have never had a problem yet with have to adjust really fast and making a mistake.. i also use the 2'' housing one..

If hunting whitetail from a stand, single in is best... especially if you are one to get nervous.

Post by: BULLBLASTER on January 10, 2014, 10:27:55 AM: Lojack that is exactly why I run a 4 pin mover. Inside 50 yards I pick a pin without much clutter. If outside 50 yards I figure I should have time to dial the yardage and make a precise shot. If not I probly shouldn't take the shot anyhow.

I have considered this type of site when I upgrade bows this spring but was worried that for elk hunting, it would be tough. I will have to check out the 4 pin mover. I like your thought process but just have to think if that last slider is worth it or if it just kind of defeats the purpose.

love single pin i shoot sure-loc sight gives me 120 yard pin :tup:

Mine gets me 128 @ 60# and 142 @ 70#. If I anchored at my nipples I could probably come close to double that :chuckle:

Sure-Loc, for me, has been the hands down winner in single pin sights. It really hurts when you put down the change to buy one, but I'm glad I did. Now I own four of them! Sure wish they would offer a newer version of the old three pin slider though.
