Single pin sights

[buckdeer1]

I have always shot multi pi sights but was wondering how many shoot the singles and how they like which brand.

I’ve always shot Soot Hogg 5 or 7 pin sights. This is my first full season with a single pin slider. I’m shooting a Montana Black Gold Ascent Verdict with the Mathews integrated dove tail. So far so good, most of my shots are under 25 these days so not having fixed pins hasn’t been an issue.

Times two on the black gold, best sight that I have ever had. I love the single pin, shoot your bow enough to know what it’s doing. I set it on 30 and forget it. I know what it’s doing at 20 and 40 so I’m good for 99 percent of my shots. If I’m feeling frisky and he is out there a little bit , I can just crank it to what is needed.

Thanks thats why i was asking most of my shots are also 30 and under so that is basically my 20 yard pin but thinking I may be able to take the confusion in the heat of the moment out of it.Do these have a place for site light.I use one in bale blind

Possible confusion is exactly why I shot fixed pins for so long. I shot a buck on the 22nd and slid my pin to 25 then quickly back to 20. It wasn’t an issue but there’s always a chance. For treestand hunting you’re probably better off understanding holds for 30 and closer but it’s nice to have the option to move the pin if there’s an opportunity.

I ended up going to a 3 pin

I am 180 degrees from you on this buckdeer1:

Prior to 25 years back I shot recurve instinctive for whitetail, bear, moose and elk. The last 25 years I have shot a compound with single pin HHA sight, exclusively for whitetail hunting. It has worked well for me over those years.

Recently I purchased a new compound bow and decided to give a multi-pin a try as I want to give "finally bagging my first elk" a renewed try as I enter retirement (I never was successful with the recurve).

The multi-pin is an Axcel Landslyde 3-pin. I went with the smaller .010 (vs .019) pin size on all 3 pins. I wish I would have had this smaller pin size on my HHA single pin.

I am not yet convinced the multi-pin is the right way to go. Time will tell. Compared to the single-pin no-peep setup I had with the HHA I really don't like the clutter of the extra pins on the visual field, especially since I am now using a peep for the first time. Initially, this setup seems very constraining, distractive and unnatural, but I need to give it more time.

I may end up stripping it down to a 2-pin or 1-pin as I get more time with it and figure out what my preferences end up being. Assuming there will be a substantial distanceXaccuracy gain with the peep I will likely keep it in the configuration, otherwise I will drop it and add a nose button.

I think the 3 pin lets me see more,Elk hunting I might as well just have a 40 yard pin as I have shot all 3 bulls I killed at dead on 40.I'm still waiting on a chance to shoot a 34 inch VTM,my bow shop doesn't have one in color I want yet
