    If you shoot multi pin setup what yardage are your pins? Or if you did what would you set them at?

    I'm at 20,30,40,50

    20, 30 ,and 40. Won't shoot anything beyond 40 and most likely won't get a shot at 40yds.

    I use a single pin slider now but if I went back to using multiple pins I probably would do 20, 30, 40 and maybe a 60 for practice. I find practicing at 60 occasionally helps make my 40 easier. Typically my max range hunting is about 30-35

    I start at 20 and usually go up 10 yard increments if using fixed.

    have 3 pins, set at 20,30,40. Really only need two since I will never get a shot past 30 yards where I hunt, but having the 3rd pin gives me another alignment to check that I an vertical with the bow.

    I like less pins to pick from (when the adrenaline is pumping) and less cluttered field of view. I use 3 green pins 25, 35 & 50 yards. I will only shoot at a deer out to 40 yards so I basically use 2 pins. I use the 50 yard pin for target and incase I need a follow up shot out to 55.

    I never understood why people have 10 or even 15 yard pins. I can shoot my 20 yard pin pretty much out to 25 yards before it starts to hit low. Why even bother with anything less than 20? am I missing something?

    5 pin sight set at 20, 30, 40, 50 & 60. Doubt I'll shoot past 40 but the option is there if the buck is big enough.

    I understand everyone is different and I'm sure I'm doing it wrong but I shoot one pin vertical and make my adjustments by knowing my bow and that is very little from 10_30 and after that 40 is just i little high.... After 40 I start wondering if maybe I should wait until they get a little closer.....For me the thrill is killing them up close. I can kill up to 150 with sluggo ( Mossberg 500) or 300yrds with my TC but for bow I want the interaction

    I have a practice/target bow (my E32) set up at 55lbs and my sight was not working with it - I guess not enough FPS so I had my pins at 15,20,25,35 and 40 this was not working so I now use a no pin sight, works better for me.

    When I shot multi pin I was 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60. I have switched to a single pin sight now.
