Re: for those with pin sights

I've got 5 pins on my spot-hogg real-deal set at 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. Just habit I guess. I use the same sight for 3-d and hunting and don't feel like taking them off for hunting. Besides, I like checking my groups at 60 with broadheads to see if they are planing right or left.

Re: for those with pin sights

Multiples of 10 seem to be the most common by far. I guess I'm just different - my 5 pin Trophy Ridge has settings of 25, 32, 39, 46, 53. Only the first 2 come into play for hunting but I leave them this way for 3D. Anything under 25 requires only minor aiming adjustments.

I currently shoot with three 10, 20 and 30. thinking about going pendulem, has any one shot with one, does it work out to 30 yards?, I like to see my target not just my sight pins.

Re: for those with pin sights

bow # 1

3 pin; 20,30,40 yds

bow # 2

5 pin; 20,40,60,70,80 yds

I have never shot over 40 yds at game, although at 60 yds I can usually keep the arrows within a 4 inch circle and, on a good day, at 80 yds the groups are about the same. I would not hesitate to take a broad side shot at an elk, with bow # 2 (Browning Apparition) at 60 yds. I think that anyone hunting deer from a treestand could easily do with 1 pin or 2 at the most.
