Archery Pins

I switched from a 5-pin fixed years ago because I really struggled to differentiate between the pins; my eyes just couldn't focus right. I went to a 2-pin Spot Hogg Fast Eddie and it improved my accuracy tenfold. I did learn during elk season that the 2-pin was a little tougher for hunting. I've recently moved to the triple stack Spot Hogg Boonie and feel like it's the sweet spot. I can accurately dial to 125 yards for 3D, or I can have pins set at 20, 35, and 45ish for hunting. I'm excited to run it this hunting season! One thing I've learned in all my years hunting is that you do have time to range and adjust your sight; I've always felt hurried but it was in my head.

This is almost my exact situation except 5 pin. I ended up going green 019 green 019 yellow 019 green 010 green 010.

Ideally I'd like a 4 pin and have my 3 019 pins and the 010 for the slider.

I found having horizontal pins for reference better for me than a better sight picture double pin vertical.

I think it's all user preference.

Thank you everyone of the valuable insight!  Mid next month will be heading to the local bow shop to get some 125 grain fixed blade broad heads and new arrows.  Will look at your recommendations on some you tube videos and may purchase a new sight or stick with my current one.  Just got a forearm tattoo, so testing this bow in the next few days will not be happening 

Might want to check out option archery sights, kind of spendy but you get the option of a single pin or multiple in one sight….
