    what is the advantage of the one floating with the three fixed? ive been interested in the floating pin but always thought it might be a hassle if i had to get ready quickly for a shot....????

    I'm enjoying my axion GLX 5 pin .19 diameter. I called axion and added two more pins in .10 diameter the other day and I'm liking this addition for the longer practice shots, but my top 5 are what will matter from the treestand this fall.

    I use a 4 pin Apex Bone Collector. I have thi pins sighted 10, 20, 30, and 40 yards. Seems to work for me. I also like the fact that the sight has a light for low light shooting.

    Spot Hogg Hoggit 5 pin. Because it is tough and doesn't break. Great sight.

    I use HHA's.... I am VERY pleased with them. The sights are built like tanks and are pretty easy to use. And their customer service is great! I bought a sight off of ArcheryTalk. The fiber optic was broken on it so I sent it in to them and BAM! 3 days later is was back on my bow and I was in the woods.

    I've had no issues with the smaller diameter pin size. My 5-spot scores actually went up 17% after installing it. I've shot 3-D under various conditions including near dusk and the pins show up great (I do have the site lite).
