Survey question

[huvrman]

I'd be interested in knowing how many of you use a single pin and just hold high or low based on the distance, or use multiple pins set at set distances.

 

[BluegrassDan]

Red dot scope with multiple dots set at 20, 30, and 40 yards. Crossbow.

 

[TNDeerGuy]

I use multiple pins for the sole reason that a lot of the places I hunt, I am just as likely to have one step out at 10yds as I am to have one step out at 40yds and I want to focus on making a good shot and not have to add in the hold over calculation in my mental preparation.

[reloadxx]

Multiple
20,30,40,50

I have used a single pin slider and loved it but if something stretches or moves then back to sighting it in

 

[MUP]

I have 4 pins...but only use max of 2. And the second one is only for a 40yd shot. My top pin is on at 10yds, about an inch high at 20, then about an inch low at 30. I'm good with that.

 

[Shotgun84]

I use a 5 pin sight set at 10,20,30,40 and 50. I doubt I'll ever use the last two but I still practice those distances just in case. If I ever get a super fast bow Im gonna try the single pin sights.

 

[catman529]

2 pins 20 and 30 yd. last year only used 1 pin at 20.

 

[warpheagle]

multiple. 15, 25 and 35.

 

[Bottom Hunter]

one pin, pendulum...good to 30 yards.

 

[Urban_Hunter]

Always used multiple, but when I got the Monster it shoots so flat I have an adjustable single pin. I lock it @ 30 yards. Its 2" high at under 20 and 2" low at 35. Love it.

 

[woodsman87]

I have three pins, but only use two, the third just sits there. My bow shoots pretty flat, and from 10-25 is the same pin, and from 25-35 is the next pin. I usually don't shoot longer than 40.

 

[Winchester]

3 pins. I have used a fixed single pin as well as the old pendulums in the past.

 

[Mossy Oak]

Adjustable single pin.

 

[Jarred525]

4 pin, 20, 30, 40, 50 yards

 

[PickettSFHunter]

I use 3. 15, 25, 35. I find that a lot of my shots are very close hence the closer than normal pin.

 

[Bone Collector]

Multiple Pins on my compound, Scope with trajectory lines on my CB.

 

[muddyboots]

Single pin

 

[tailchaser]

Single pin

 

[scn]

Adjustable single pin. I leave it set at 30 yds and feel confident from point blank to 35yds. Sliding the pin is quick and easy.

I'd rather deal with the holdover/under issues that picking the wrong pin in the excitement. I'm likely the only one with that T-shirt.

 

[Bullfrog]

2 pins...20 & 33
...all depends on how flat your bow shoots

 

[mathews338]

Adjustable single pin.

Yeah right, your definitely not alone!! Back in the days of a pin for every 5-10 yards would give you a clean miss if you chose the 20 yard pin and the deer was 26 yards! Im sure glad todays bows have eliminated the range estimation out to atleast 25 yards for the most part! Estimating distance has likely caused more bow misses than anything else! I know it has for me!

 

[dsa5455]

I use single pin set at 10 yards.
