The tommy hogg has the three pin with the adjustable floating pin. I like that setup. Good for all types of shooting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Timing is everything. Having set yardages eliminates a preshot step if the range is established and things are happening. To each their own but where I hunt I have a range finder in one hand and a knocked arrow in the other. Adjusting a single pin would not work for me under 40 yards. I would rather range and shoot.
You always say timing is everything.... What are you talking about??? And a single pin site is fine for most hunters... Unless you're taking 90 yard shots at deer
I understand what he is saying. If that animal comes in and presents you a shot, you don't want to have to mess with your sight. The amount of time it consumes is not worth the benefit for him. I think that's why there are all kinds of styles out there. To each his own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Agreed....I think that is one reason that I don't want to move to a single pin at least not yet Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
The point I was trying to make is that if you sight in your bow for different arrows, broadheads, etc it would require a new sight tape while a sight with pins can be adjusted "on the fly" for lack of a better word. That said, I am still intrigued by a single pin sight.
For a lot of hunting situations you can wet it 25 and fine just hold the pin accordingly. I will try and keep my shots under 30 yards I don't plan on shooting further on a animal. So like PT said for most hunters it's fine unless you take 90 yard shot but even then you should have enough time to range and adjust to that distance. Sent from my iPhone
I'm not arguing here as its all preference and what you are comfortable with...im just saying that people make it seem like it takes a half hour to adjust a single pin...not the case...quick and effortless with the right sight...if you don't have time to adjust the sight in the field should you have to...then you more than likely don't have time to shoot anyway...and as oly said...I've never touched my pin for a shot in the field...it sits at 25 and I'm deadly to 40...usually won't shoot past 30 unless perfect conditions....if you do want to try a single pin don't let a false notion steer you away from a sight you might absolutely fall in love Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Tommy hogg has a floating pin. So set three pins and the bottom pin is your floater. So it's a hha with three pins basically Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I just got a trophy ridge hitman 5 pin sight. I absolutely LOVE it! .019 pins that are SUPER bright even without the adjustable Rheostat light. Also, one thing I like about this sight compared to other 5 pins is the weight is not dramatic. I looked at the T.R. React and I think it is an awesome looking sight, but it would feel like a brick on the front of my bow.
this is very entertaining to read lol. I guess the bottom line is which sight would be best for the shooter and from what I read, Sounds like m0nst3R wants fixed pin sights. IQ Bowsights - 5-pin IQ Micro Bowsight <== try this one.
Me and my dad both have been using the G5 Optix XR and like it a lot. We put our equipment through hell at times and it's held up well whether we are spot and stalking mules out west or sitting in a stand when it's 0 degrees here in Wisconsin. What we really like are the 3 set pins and one adjustable which allows us to shoot out to 80 yards.
I've shot for years and years with no sights at all so when I went to a compound bow I had no idea what I was looking for in a sight, I told the guy "put whatever you think I might like on it" So he put a trophy ridge sight on it that had 5 pins...I don't know the model...I liked how bright the pins where and the added light was kinda nifty...but after shooting for a bit I quickly realized it was just to dang busy for me. I now have an HHA sight on the bow and love it. I found very little POA shift from 10-40 yards when set at 25 yards. So in other words....I don't have much to add...but I posted here. Yay.
Everyone has their favorites and their reason why it is the best. Single pins are great if you can't process complicated site data. Multiple pins are great for people who like their ranges set in stone with no guess work or adjustments. I use a 5 pin Sniper with a square up rear sight because I like my ranges set in stone. I also use a rang finder and set range markers ahead of time. See if someone you know has a single pin site andbtry it before you choose.
