    I prefer a three pin movable sight. I set pins at 25-35-45. My middle pin is the floater. With all of my current set ups when floating my middle pin it's a50 yard split, it becomes 10 under and 5 over.
    I found a three pin set to be a good compromise between a clear sight picture and not needing to move my sight on 90% of the game I kill. If I was just whitetail hunting from a stands I would probably put a single pin head on one of my sights.

    Just picked up a Copper John Dead Nuts 3 Mark 4 sight. It's a 3 pin slider (came with 5 but I took the 2 yellow pins out).

    I plan on leaving it locked in the home position for hunting and 3d but it's nice to have the slider available for some fun practice.

    I use the Slick Trick Magnums. Blood trails are fantastic. Better than any other fixed blade I have tried.

    Really comes down to preference. I prefer fixed pins, currently using a 5 pin. Hunting is playing odds vs opportunity. Usually I only have a short window to harvest the animal so ranging then having to spin a dial takes too much time and risks missing the opportunity. So I range my shot windows and use my fixed sights. I don't like to make guess work out of sights. I owe it to the animal to make the most ethical shot. Anyone that practices like they should won't get pins mixed up. Plus more moving mechanical parts leads to a higher chance of equipment failure
