Fixed multi pin sight or single pin adjustable? Make and brand?
I've never had an adjustable multi pin but I'm kinda interested in that style.
I'm fixing to start gathering up a few items to deck my bow out.
I've had it a couple years and haven't shot it.
I'll be on a lower budget so I probably can't get much north of $100 for sights. I'll still need a whisker biscuit rest, front mounted string stop, release, arrows and broad heads.

I'm eyeing a HHA Optimizer .
How do you handle it when the deer changes travel and the yardage changes? Do you re range and adjust or hold over?

That was my fear in switching to be honest but it's never been an issue really. I leave mine at 25yds and practice shooting that setting at 20 and 30yds in case but it's really easy to set and move if needed

I shot multiple pins for over 20yrs. However, since becoming very involved in competitive shooting and using an adjustable single pin, I grew very accustomed to the open sight picture since I shot it year around. The three months out of the year I used my multi-pins really become problematic because the busy sight picture--I've used an HHA Optimizer Ultra for the last 5 years.

I was worried about how do I make the adjustments if I need to. First off, the Optimizer Ultra has a wheel so it can be adjusted quickly and with minimal movement. Secondly, I range everything constantly while up in the tree, so I know what everything is and don't have to worry about getting the range finder out during the shot process. I also leave my sight set on 27yds--this will give me the variance needed to shoot from 0-30 with minimal hold over/under and if they are further than 30yds, chances are you'll have time to range and adjust.

The only issue with the single pin sights, is getting the correct tape. Shooting a ¼" horizontal line is the best method to figure your yardage gap, or set your pins if you use multi--that's another post, but accurate data in will provide the most accurate tape.

I like multi pins. I have used both. I never have had a problem with the sight picture and never have shot the wrong pin. However, I did shoot a single pin one time not having set it to a the yardage than I usually had it
set to by mistake. One thing I don't like about single pins is unless you use a riser mounted quiver, it will get your quiver sticking out way to the side. Also, the quiver bracket can get in the way of adjusting some.

I shoot a single adjustable pin. When practicing I may set it on 30 yards. I then shoot bookoos of shots at 10, 20, 40, and 50 yards to know my exact holdover/under should a shot present itself without giving me the opportunity to quickly adjust my pin. If I pre-hang a stand prior to hunting I range several landmarks and have them memorized prior to climbing up. If I don't pre-hang then at first light I range everything as soon as I can see so I'll know the distance prior to a deer arriving. I never want to get stuck guessing at far a deer might be and if I have my pin set for a certain distance I'm ready for the shot.

HHA is a great single pin hunting sight. Like TNDeerGuy the competitive side of me liked the single pin sight picture much more. It really simplifies things for me in the heat of the moment

Multi pin

 

[fasteddie]

Multi pin sight all day long. Been there done that and missed that deer by 30 yards when a deer comes running in fast. Great sight for the $$$ is the Tru glow carbon hybrid. Great sight around $100

I've used both, and they both have some advantages. I love the HHA sights. But, after dealing with some rutting bucks up in IL, I have gone back to a multi-pin that is adjustable. It has three pins that I set at 20-30-40. But, it is adjustable like a HHA as well, so I have lines set on the tape for 50 and 60 yds for moving the bottom pin if I ever need to go that far.

I use an hha and like it a lot. But I bought my wife a trophy ridge react that basically sets itself. I like it also but it is a tad heavy.

 

[Carnage]

Montana black gold makes great sights also. I have their 3 pin adjustable and single pin adjustable. I prefer the single pin by a long shot! But, my eyesight isn't great, so for me, it just helps in much better shots

HHA for me as well, set it at 25 yards and find your 30 yard range after you get set in the tree. Anything at or inside that range aim with confidence...

Shot both off and on for a good while and ended up going back to fixed pins. Shooting a fairly simple CBE Sniper Pro 4 pin

Fixed at 20,40, 60. which gives me plenty of area between pins to see good.

I'm one of the odd balls that shot a single pin slider for years and went back to a multi pin for hunting. My hunting gaps are 25,40,50 and 60. Honestly the 50 and 60 are for fun shooting at home. The 15 yard gap between the 25 and 40 yard pin reduces clutter so I use the 25 yard pin for 99% of my hunting.

I just like simplicity when hunting. Also I've found a simple multi pin to be solid and quiet at the shot.

I shot single pin for years also, when you have to move or slide something, just makes the situation more difficult for me, when buck fever hits you the task is even more difficult, being able to see clearly is my main objective that's why I like the 20-40-60

I'm moving to HHA single pin this year
