Personally, I'm just getting back into archery and I used multi pins but I'm thinking of trying single since I'm not "used" to anything per say. I also like the idea of a clearer sight picture.
I don't hunt blinds or stands

The single pin definitely gives you a clearer window but I always fear having to adjust the pin due to a deer moving while I'm waiting on getting a proper shot placement.
I just feel more comfortable knowing I can make a distance correction with multi pins over a single pin.

If an elk makes it to 50 after I shoot them at 25-30, where I leave the pin set most of the time, that too is an easy gap. At 50 I just put the top of the bubble on target and take the second shot. OF course if I have the time I'll adjust, but it only takes a couple days at the range to realize you don't really need to.
Sure-Lok is my first choice on my Bear and PSE bows. Most the other bows I use the Accutouch Pro with the indexers removed. Spendy, but worth it. When traveling I often times will use a five pin strictly for durability. In that case there is only one 5 pin sight I use on all my bows - Axcel Armortech. My 5 pin sights are always set 30, 40, 50, 60 & 70.

Single pin, multi pin, no pins.

I can't find a pic online (i'll have to grab one tonight), but my uncle shot 3D with a Martin single pin sight that was adjustable with a ring that your bow hand engaged. If it were lighter, it made SUPER easy distance changes! RAD, you might know the sight I'm talking about...
Only one I knew that did that was the Sightmaster with the touchmaster attachment. I could never make that attachment work worth a darn. But CL and I had about a decade of filling freezers with the Sightmaster!

I have a fast bow, but I don't like to compensate, so I'm adjusting a lot between say 80 yards and 30 yards as I close the gap. My buddy shoots a single pin as well, and he doesn't pay much attention to his adjustments, and he's missed 5 times in the past 2 years (antelope and mule deer) because his sight wasn't set right and he either forgot, or tried to compensate. Luckily, he didn't hit any of the animals. I'm going back to a multi pin this upcoming season. That way, I only have to worry about getting the range right.

Martin was one of the largest bow manufactures back when the Sightmaster first came out. It would not surprise me at all if they had them in their accessories catalog in a Martin package. I can't remember those old catalogs clearly enough to know for sure.

Martin also had a sight called the "Quick Ray-nge". I have never seen the sight in person - only pictures. Just did a search for it and found one on EBay. That's the only valid hit I got. Not sure if they ever sold any, this looks like Martin may be trying to sell an old package sample. Rather interesting! Steve from Steve's Archery in Walla Walla might have a better idea of how they looked and/or worked.
hmm... I'm going to have to dig it out to see which version it is! :tup:

I ended up ordering a custom MBG 5 pin slider. Thanks for the info guys:tup: I use a 4 pin slider. Mines a few years old and I'm sure the newer ones are nicer.
