    I guess point being depending on how flat your arrows are flying, spacing between 20-30-40 pine will be more than the spacing between 40-50-60.

    I'm using one pin set at 30 but I practice hitting 20 and 40 targets at that setting. I figure if the animal is farther than 40 I can range it and adjust my pin from there.

    Love the adjustable sites though. Its cool just to walk my target out into a field then come back and range it and whatever the distance is I just set my site and start shooting.

    I put two tapes on my HHA site to shoot two different weight arrows. Left side slide for 585gr arrows for big hogs and the wheel on the right for 425gr arrows for whitetail and Elk. Works great.

    Works great. Put the tape to whichever arrow you plan to shot the most on the wheel. It's more accurate with the pointer.

    Yeah. The pro shop put the wrong HHA 5519 site with the slide on my Chill'R and I'm having them put the wheel XL 5519 on because I love having the two arrow option.

    You guys running HHA sights, do you have the 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments ? Is it worth getting?

    Got the new sight put together. I really like the set up. I will probably add the 2nd and 3rd axis to soon too. :tu:

    I have a feeling I will too. I still have to figure out how to set up the tape the best way. I watched that video trial posted and I can't seem to wrap my head around it lol :busted:

    I had my shop help me out, one of the guys has done hundreds of HHA's. If you can't figure it out I'm sure your shop could help you.

    I've set up a single pin before no problem, my issue come with after I have my 20,30,40 set up when the dial is zeroed out then comes setting up the bottom pin as my floater. I want to get the most range possible and for he tapes to work I have to sight in at 20 and 60 but how do that with my 40 pin ?

    Anyone who might be able to help chime in please. I feel like I'm thinking to hard and once I get in on a bow I will get it but right now it's just not clicking

    Oh okay I see what you mean. Not sure how you manage that. There's got to be someone on here that knows though.
