I am not a fan of 1 pin sights, personally
When I ready to shoot a deer, the last thing I want to do it mess with my sight

G5 Optix. Has set pins, as well as a "floating pin" that can be dialed for longer distances

Single pin sights all the way...have been shooting with one for a couple seasons now and I wish I would have went to one sooner. The sight picture is so much cleaner.
Its has its +'s and -'s like anything else but to me the +'s out weight what little negatives there might be with your perticular set up.

This is the correct answer.
There's only one pin in your way, but you have three dots at your disposal.

I have that exact sight on one of my bows. I swapped to single pin sights last summer, and haven't looked back since switching. To me, the HHA pin is brighter than the Black Gold single pin I have on another bow. You can probably find one used on ArcheryTalk classifieds for $100 shipped.

Did not read thread. I have a HHA optimizer and I'll never shoot another sight.
eta: It's not for everyone. It also takes some shooting to get used to. When I hunt, I shoot mine out to 25 yards or so without adjusting it. I've only moved the wheel once during a hunt, and the deer was at like 33 yards. I like the single pin because it lets you pay much more attention to your equipment and your arrow flight.

My dad loves his HHA sight.
They have their advantages, but the one reason I WILL NOT use a one pin sight is because of unpredictability. You never know when a deer or other game animal will be standing broadside at 20 yards with you at full draw, and suddenly bound out to 40 yards and stop. What are you going to do? Let down your bow, adjust your sight, redraw, and try to shoot? Most likely your chance will be gone.
I've gone through several sights. HHA, axcel, g5 optix. The absolute best sight I've ever used, and the one I have on my bow now is the Spot Hogg 5 pin wrapped Hunter Hogg It. It's easy to tune and nigh indestructible.

I shoot a lot and practice just for that. I'm a one pin guy and shoot an hha. Usually leave at 30 yards and I can hold right on from 0 to 35. If I'm in that situation I know my set up well enough to hold over. The bigger issue to me would be getting the range right. You'd have to be good at ranging without a range finder or you're still in the same predicament with 5 pins.
