hdhiii Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'm currently using a three pin sight and thinking of going to a one pin sight. What is everyone's opinion on this, and what advantages/disadvantages do I have to look forward to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgitall Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Been using one pin for years. Sight picture is much clearer. If I need to shoot a longshot, I will just move my pin to the yardage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Opinons will be different for each archer, it is a preference. I myself shoot 5 pins, and have for years. I have some friends that use a single pin slider and love them. What I like about multiple pins: If I had a deer come in and was at say 25 yards. I pull back and draw then he bolts out to say 40 yards. I dont want to have to let down my bow and readjust my pin in order to shoot that distance. It is all a preference and what you like to shoot.

jdavis Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I personally like 3 pins; I'd rather put the pin where I want to hit and not have to adjust high or low depending on the distance to the animal. I've tried 5 pins before but it was too cluttered for me. If most of you're shots are within 20 yards then one pin would be fine. Use whichever one you are most comfortable with.

mikewink Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I used to use a single pin. But didn't like to make adjustments in the field. Now I have a 3 pin. Don't have to move or make adjustments but now I have 3 bright pins instead of one. You can't win sometimes. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I use 3. Have used 1 and 5 in the past, but 3 gives me good vision and like was mentioned above, I don't make adjustments in the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Been using one pin for years. Sight picture is much clearer. If I need to shoot a longshot, I will just move my pin to the yardage. exactly you dont want to be getting pins mixed up when you have a 150 inch whitetail in your sights!

backwoods07 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I shoot a one pin and won't make adjustments in the field. I simply know exactly how much my shot will drop and won't take a shot at more than 40 yds (OK, 43 yds). It gives me a great sight picture and my Tru Glo is brighter than any sight I've ever seen. I'm flat to 28 yds and 99% of my shots are within that distance. No need for 3 pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m gardner Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I shot one pin for years because I used the wrong pin and blew an opportunity on a great buck. I sighted in at 25 yards and learned where to hold from 10 to 40 yards. Worked great. With todays flat shooting bows it should be even easier to hit with.

Okbwhtr Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 One pin works for meI set mine on 25yrds but can easily move it and set for longer shots. Garantee with practice it takes alot of choosing pins out of the process. I have won my share of tournaments shooting one pin. Quite accurate. I purchased the new Tex-Hunter sight from CBE and ut the cosmic impact aperture on it. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Glad this came up...............I've shot 5 pins for years but I'm really thinking of going to a HHA single pin. I feel like when I put my scope with no lens on my bow and shoot that it takes all the guess work out. I seem to be able to focus on where I want my pin so well compared to all the pins in my way. I'm gonna pick one up and see but it maybe next season before i use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 One pin here. Most shots are under thirty yards (actually will not take any farther away than that distance for whitetails) and the bows shoot so flat these days. My biggest was covering up the deer with multiple pins even though I knew the yardage. One pin eliminates that. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dartonman Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I am dead on at 25 yards.....one pin is all I need, and I love it for Illinois whitetails......it will shoot 1 inch high at 12-17, and 1 inch low at 40.....not counting hairs, not moving anything...just draw, find the one green pin, and whammo....deer meat.........I just switched this year to one pin, and I love it......al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeaveragehunter Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I just switched to a single adjustable and was scared to. Shot it for three weeks and would never go back to multiple pins. I leave it set at 25 yards in the stand and am within three inches 10-40 yards in case I don't have time to adjust.
