Pin yardage for 3-D?

[MCH]

I know probably most of you shoot single pin, moveable sights, but those of you who don't, what are your pin settings?

I shoot with a lot of guys that go the 25,35,45,55 route.

Right now, I'm shooting even yardage 20-50.

i shoot 20, 28, 36,44,52, 60 ( every 8 yards ) if you miss judge you will have at least 2-3 pins still on the kill. on at the top of th 8 zone and one on the bottom of the 8 zone. eather way is at least an 8

My pins are set from 20 to 50 yards. Even in IBO tourneys, your not shooting over 50 yards max. If your a field shooter, you'll need a movable or pins set out to 80 yards at least. If you shot enough and learn how to play the pin gap, it can be even more beneficial than a slide bar with one pin.

Re: Pin yardage for 3-D?

it just depends on what your comfortable with.. a lot of guys like there pins setup just like there hunting for 3D ... that way its nothing but good hunting practice.... but i will say that pon gapping is a real art .. many of the guys have it down really well..

i prefer my single pin and dial it in range on my Sureloc for competition.. its just easier for me to estimate the range for 47 yds and then dial it in and then shoot it for exactly that yardage...

if i miss its because of my range estimation not being right on..

Re: Pin yardage for 3-D?

I use a fixed pin sight and find it works fine for me. Yardages are set at 25, 34, 42, 49, 55 - that makes differences between pins of 9, 8, 7,and 6 yards. At the close ranges, it's not likely the estimation errors will be too large and there's not much drop from one pin to the next anyway. At the longer distances, if I'm out a whole pin, it's still not too bad.
