Switching from single pin back to 3 pin

They have a lot of three pin sliders available if u want to still be able to shoot out to 60, 70 etc.

I have missed more bucks from 10 yards and in than at any other yardage. A few that were Pope and Young contenders.

You have to shoot your 40-50 yd pin if they are inside of ten yards AND you have a steep angle shot (your up in the 25 ft high plus range in the tree)

Your line of sight with your 20 yd pin is 3-4 inches higher than what your arrow will travel at that distance. most faster bows your arrow is traveling on an upward trajectory till around 20 yds, because it is starting out @ 3" below your 20 yd pin.

It is tough to hold your 45 yard pin on a buck 7 steps from your stand (treestand not groundblind) but that is where your arrow is going to hit.


As for sights I have been a firm believer for many years that most folks should stick with a 3-pin, unless your name is Levi Morgan or you hunt out west.

With speeds of 270 fps plus a three pin gives you good separation between the pins in order to clearly see both your needed pin AND the target (deer).

I personally set a 20, a 35 and a 45 on my bow. If a buck is at 30 the 35 on the heart gets either the top of the heart or the lower center of the lung. The 45 pin on a 40 yard deer is held on the heart for a lung hit. Same pin held on lungs on a 50 yd deer gets the arrow into the lower lung/heart area.

Been using it this system for over 25 years and works fantastic...except for when I get a mind fart and screw up the close in shots.

Just my 2 cents

I’m running a 3 pin slider. Best of both worlds imo. Pins at 15,25,35 and use the bottom pin as a floater. Wish I had switched sooner. Mine is the Black Gold Verdict Ascent. S&S archery is who I got it through, fully customizable.

Anyone run the easy V?

Get a 2 pin spot hog. I love mine.

This ^.

I went from 3 to single, back to 1, back to 3, back 1 for 14 years and just started using 2 pins the last couple of seasons. Love it

You can’t understand the appeal of a single pin that adjusts for range?

Exactly.

I feel like it’s a pretty straightforward concept, even if it’s not your preference.

Can't disagree.

I run a 4 pin black gold.. I tried the single pin and it cost me a big axis. I ranged the deer and by the time I drew he had moved so I had to let down and adjust my sight. Tree stand wasn't too bad . I set the single pin at 25 so 10 to 30 yards i didn't have to move it. Really just depends on hunting style..

I just switched back. I went from an HHA optimizer lite to a trophy ridge react 4 pin. I like it a lot. I get so excited when a deer comes in i forget to move my sight. Doesn't matter how much I practice.
