Guest HaDeRonDa Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Historically I have used .029 pins on all my bows that I have owned and shot. This year I am buying some .019 pins. I'm always open to listen to new ideas but this one that I was offered seemed odd. Here it goes. I was offered the suggestion to put the a .019 pin as my 10 yd pin. Now I was thinking about putting a Durabright pin, size .029 as my 10 and 20 yd pin and then use a .019 pin for both my 30 and 40 yd pins. Am I nuts (don't answer that!) or wouldn't a smaller pin for a longer shot obstruct less of the intended target area? Anyone else use two different size pins in their sight?

Bow Hunter Derek Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Re: What size sight pins in what order? I had a Sword sight built for me with this configuration. 20 yd - .029 30 yd - .019 40 yd - .019 50 yd - .019 I like the smaller pins for further targets as it obstructs less of the target. I don't mind the big pin for things up close as the target point appears larger. If you are looking at changing out fibers on existing pins, look at Fitz Fiber. They are the toughest and brightest.

VTbowman Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Re: What size sight pins in what order? I have .029 for all mine but if I were to get a smaller dai I would do as you are thinking. 29s for the 20 and 30, 19s for everything else beyond that.

dg Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Re: What size sight pins in what order? All mine are .019. Don't forget the color. For me, red fades 1st, so it goes on the 40 yarder. Next is green at 30. And yellow shows up last near dark, so it's 20. Your eyes may be different?

Strut10 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Re: What size sight pins in what order? .029 for all three 20 (yellow), 30 (red) & 40 (green). Added a blue LED this year so it doesn't matter which one used to go dim first or last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tyshe17 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Re: What size sight pins in what order? I shoot .19 on all of mine. I like it b/c even with the light my near pin (17 yards) isnt too big and doesnt "starburst". I have been shooting this for 2 years, and like it so much more than the .29 I can really tell a difference in accuracy over 35 yards.

Ohiobucks Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Re: What size sight pins in what order? I have one .019 pin set at 25 yards on my Trykon this year, hold high or low depending on the situation. I like the smaller diameter pins personally, bigger pins tend to eat up the whole target at longer distances IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter47 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Re: What size sight pins in what order? the smaller dia. sounds like it is the best for farther distances....but in some cases the larger one...no offense for some of you seasoned vets!!!.....i use the larger at close ranges and smaller at farther ranges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
