    20,30,40. But the 30 and 40 havent been used to shoot a deer yet, there has been no need as of yet. I try and hang stands to where the deer pass within 25 yards, so it is almost a sure-fire kill shot

    HHA Single Pin Adjustable Rocks.

    I use a single pin adjustable. 10, 20, 30 and 40 yards.

    I like only having 1 pin to focus on, it gives a "uncluttered" sight picture, but you have to be careful and not forget to adjust to the proper distance.

    It's the only sight I've ever had since I started shooting, so I am use to moving it before every shot (if needed).

    Like everything, there are pro's and con's.

    My Katera has a 6 pin from 20-70 yards, I only use the 20, 30 and 40 for hunting.

    The new Alphamax has a 7 pin from 20-80 yards which I use at the archery club.

    5 pins, 20-60. I hate having this many pins but a single pin sight will just not work out west here.

    I'm using 3 pins this year. 20,30, and 40 my twenty I can shoot out to 30 yards and put it withing 3". 30 yd out to 40 and I hope never to need my 40, but I am confident using it if necessary.

    Now that you mention it...
    I do remember that one guy is using an adjustable sight, and the other compensates..

    After hearing from many of you, I am going to continue to use my three pin system, 20, 30, 40.

    I will have to do some considerable practice in the next couple weeks, to see just how well I can shoot under 20 yds, using the 20 pin.

    should've just left it alone... start thinking too hard, and look what happens!

    Copper Jon 5 pin

    I use a 5 pin Copper Jon set for 20-30-40-50-60. Only use 20-40 for Hunting and 50-60 in the yard and [B]only[/B] if I have already hit a deer and have the opportunity for a followup shot on a stationary deer at those distances would I shoot past 40.
