[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5632922, member: 1409"] It's my belief most bowhunters hunting in typical TN woods would likely bring home as many or more deer with a single pin bowsight vs. a 4 or 5-pin sight. The reason is it can be so very easy to use the wrong pin with a mulit-pin sight, especially in low light and/or a fast decision. Single pin eliminates those mistakes. I've lost some good bucks at 20 yds & less simply because I accidently used the wrong pin. Last few years I bowhunted with a regular compound bow, I simply used one pin, like Tellico4x4. Set yourself up for no shots past 30 yds, life is much simpler. I've since gone to a crossbow, mainly because of the ease in using a traditional optical scope. Old eyes have more "issues" with bow "pin" sights. The traditional optical riflescope solves the eye issues. But the crossbow is as much a curse as a blessing. Before I went the scope on a crossbow route, I went back to a simple recurve bow with no sights whatsoever. Due to not having adequate time for regular practice, this limited my high probability range to 20 yds or less. I just saw no reason to stick with that when 35 yds or so was high probability with the crossbow without the frequent shooting practice. [/QUOTE]
