RE: Single Pin Setup

When I shot one pin I set it for 25 yards. I went to 3 pins last year at 20, 30 and 40 and I really like that set up better.

RE: Single Pin Setup

24 to 26 yards is typically what I see suggested. When I do go with a single pin it is typically in this range.

I set mine up for 25-30 yards. I don't shoot over 30 yards. And I just aim low for the closer shots.

RE: Single Pin Setup

i dont shoot a single pin. I just need to know which pin is set fro which yardage I am not good at compensation.

RE: Single Pin Setup

1 pin at 26 yards and shoot alot to get used to compensating for different yardages.The most important thing is knowing how far your shot is when you have a deer in your sights--if you don't know the yardage it doesn't matter what your pin is set for--you won't make the shot(JUDGING YARDAGE IS CRUCIAL)

RE: Single Pin Setup

My single pin is on a slider. With the slide all the way down, it is about an inch high at 20 and an inch low at 30. I pretty much just hold dead on out to 30. I have marks for 40 and 50 yards. If a deer presents me with an acceptable shot at 40 yards, I probably have enough time to move it up a little. If I don't have time, I won't shoot. It's my first year with a single pin so with more practice I will probably just compensate for longer yardages.
