    I am looking for a new sight. Preferably a single pin that is adjustable

    I currently purchased a HHA Optimizer lite. Its awesome. I couldn't be happier with it. Very bright pin, really easy to sight in and is spot on.

    If you don't go single pin I'd highly recommend a set of vertical pins. I'm shooting an old trophy ridge flatline an love it!

    I personally don't like 1 pin sights so I'm going to recommend a 5 pin sight. The vital gear pentagon (5 pin sight) is incredible....you can find it at dravesarchery.com

    Hi, I'm also looking into upgrading my sight and trying to decide between multi pin or single and for some reason I wanna try a single pin, it seems that it would be much easier to focus on one pin. My only question is, are they worth it if you don't shoot very far? The farthest I'll shoot a deer is 30 yards. Idk yet if I should switch to a one pin, but if I did it would be an HHA OL 5019, I've heard great reviews on it.

    I have a 5 pin now and wanted to try a single pin but didnt want to spend a ton so i went over to AT and found a nice truglo range rover for 50 bucks. Ill be putting it on my bow after the season is over to get it sighted in im excited to see how i like it. The reason i wanted to switch is to get away from the clutter of all the pins.

    HHA's are the best around IMO. You cant beat the durability and simplicity. As well as the brightest fibers I have found.

    Do single pins adjustables go lower than 20 yards? The HHA I saw didn't

    Not that I think you would need a pin for under 20 yards but if you wanted to adjust the HHa for that you can, they just don't have a tape that has under a 20 yard marker on it so you would need to use a blank tape and make your own mark.

    Ok thanks, and what model do you recomend? I want it cheapest as possible, is the HHA OL-3019 good for $90? Or should I spend the extra money and get the HHA OL-5019?

    If you are going to get an HHA, go with the OL-5019 much nicer sight in my opinion.

    Anyone tried a multi pin adjustable? I bought a CBE Tech Hunter and love it! 3 pin housing that adjusts very much like a target sight. I currently have it sighted at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70. All with only 3 pins. When i have time, i will go out to 80, 90, 100 and possibly all the way out to 140yd if I want to given the fletchings clear the sight ring.

    Anyways, it's just one more option that is out there.

    Go with the cypher. I think you'll find it's a better deal.

    I have G5 Optix XR2 on my Elite Answer.
    I set the stationary top pin at 25 yards. The moveable pin I have dialed in out 60. I leave the moveable pin at 35 and for some tight treestand set I lower it all the way down so it's out of the picture...although I just started using this set up this season it would have covered 95% of all the whitetails I have shot over 23 years.
    If i was hunting further west I would just set the top pin at 30 and take it from there.
    I grown to enjoy the cleaner sight picture without a stack of pins....strange considering I have had 5 pin sights sighted out to 60 yards for as long as I can remember...times change.
