I have been thinking about switching to a single pin sight. My question is if a deer is at 30 yards and I adjust a single pin to him and draw. If the deer starts moving and won't stop do let your bow down and have to turn the dial agian or do you adjust with good ol Kentucky windage? I have a multi pin sight now and I have used in between the pins for 35,27 etc...not sure how it would work for a single pin sight.
Practice. I normally shoot out to 40 (which is my maximum self imposed range for eastern whitetails) with my pin set at 25 and not moving it so I know where to aim if I don't have to time to adjust it. This year this will change due to an injury and dropping down in bow weight.
I leave my HHA set to 25 and like Coop said, I can shoot out to 40 with it being at 25. It takes practice, but it isn't hard at all. Where I hunt, the longest shot I have is 35 yards in almost all cases. Woods in NC are thick!!
So it's safe to say most people who own them love them. I'm trying it out this weekend and I may purchase one shortly after
I've been thinking about the same thing with the single pin sights. I thought the point of them was so you could dial in precisely to your target, if your setting it to one yardage and estimating over or under then why not just stick with a multi pin sight?
Basically all I did. I removed all but one pin. Never used them and they kinda just got in the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have mine set at 20yrds, and leave it there. I won't shoot past 30yrds, so I simply compensate for any slight differences in yardage. The idea of a single pin is to keep things simple, and that's what it does. You don't have that cluttered feeling with a single pin, and you can see more of your target.
That's my issue, target shooting it would be perfect but I feel like it may be more of a burden for hunting then anything. I don't know though alot of people say it allows you to concentrate on the target more then the pins which make sense to me
It is not a burden for me. I have been using single pin sights for a few years and will never go back to a multi pin. One vertical single pin is superior to me than a sight full of pins. We are all different though, shoot what you like.
I will never go back to muti pins. The clean, crisp sight picture of my HHA is awesome. I set mine at 27 in the tree. Good to go 0-35. Never had to move it yet. For me it's much simpler not having to worry about what pin to use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Iv been using a single pin for about 3 years now and have killed alot and this is everyones question but i have never had it happen to me Sent from my LG-LS995 using Tapatalk
Lots of good advice. I got the spot Hogg dual pin. With it set to 20 I can shoot out to 40. 20 for top, gap for 30 and little high for 40 on sec pin. Little more confidence in adjusting than with a single pin. On the range it works well. But I will say this after moving to a single pin my accuracy went up. Good luck.
No. I just practice with my pin set at a certain distance while moving closer to and further from the target.
I bout the adjustable 3 pin by black and gold and love it. Best of both worlds in my opinion but my father shoots his 1 pin and does it just like everyone has been saying setting it at 25.
