    One is not necessarily better than the other. It is just a matter of personal preference.

    I have a bowtech insanity cpx and i use a hha single pin. and i can shoot up to 40 yards without moving the pin so i dont have a use for multiple pins. i would imagine the heli m would be the same situation

    One pin adjustable sights are awesome. I have the HHA DS 5519 on my Z7 Magnum and I love it. ahube8706 is right, in most cases you do not have to move it up to a certain distance. I use a rangefinder with mine. It takes any guess work out. You won't be disappointed if you go with an adjustable one pin sight. Well worth the money.

    exactly, i have a z7 extreme, and my first pin is good out to 30 yards, and my second i use from 30 to about 50, even though i use a 3 pin sight, the concept is the same, your bow should be fast enough that if you have a single pin you can use it for multiple ranges.

    Not trying to pour on the Haterade here but, did you shoot that group? It's quite impressive considering the jumble of arrows all seem to be fletched with different vanes and I notice one on the right of the group is missing a nock.

    I'm not saying it is impossible, perhaps you are just way more skilled than I can even dream possible.

    Ahh the old one pin debate. I'll stay out of it but leave ya with this, either get a slider or be prepared to compensate quite a bit despite all the claims online...physics doesn't change regardless the model bow you shoot.

    x3. Unless your shooting anti-gravity arrows, your gonna have to compensate.

    Very possible. I shoot similar groups at 50 yards with my Heli'm.

    On a side note: there weren't many differences I noticed between Mathews and mission bows while shooting at the shop. The Mathews was better balanced and a bit smoother. When I backed out from 35 yards (my previous max) to 50 yards, I was blown away.
