I shoot a 1 pin, it took some convincing from Buckhorn and some years experience getting used to it but I wont shoot any other sight with multiple pins, I have a Vectrix and a Reezen 6.5 both bow will shoot out to 50 with lil of no adjustment??

How many pins do you have??
 
I went back to 3 this year after using a single pin last year. I liked the one pin and the less obstructed sight picture. I never got confused about which pin to use, but I did take a shot last year and had my sight set different than what I thought. I just like the idea of having it dead on for a number of yardages and not have to worry about adjusting it and making sure its set right.
 
i have 5 on my bow, but i only use two. I dont have an area that i can shoot out to further distances to get comfortable with further shots. My Top pin is set about an inch high at twenty yards, and my second pin is dead at 40. But i have never taken a shot past 18 yrds.

The opportunities have come but i just havent had the shooting time to get quiet used to a shot at 40+.
 
I've been using 1 pin for the last few years. Started out with four pins when I first started bow hunting. Got really tore up my first year and when a decent 6 pointer came in at about 25 yards I shot 2 feet over his back. I was so tore up I couldn't tell you which pin I used. Thats when I went to one pin and limit my range within 30 yards.

Single pin also.
I like to see as much of the spot on the deer as possible,without miltiple pins in the way.

I also don't shoot much past 35 yds most of the time.
If I took longer shots, then I might want more pins.

I will be shooting one pin as well.

Only my sight will only have one pin that's adjustable :) Ordered a HHA 5000 a couple days ago. Will be my first go around with a movable sight. I'll be glad to get away from pins and holding up or down. Just set it to the yardage and aim dead on.
