I have mine set like yours. If you hunt in more open areas you may need 20-30-40 settings.Just remember to practice often with your setup and try longer shots when you practice just to hone your skills. Even then just take shots you feel comfortable taking,don't take longer ones.

One pin at 30 yards.Less sight picture clutter.For me simpler is better.

20, 30, 40, and 50. With todays speeds I find no need for a 10 yard pin. My 20 yard pin is 1" high at 10 yards.

Like Rob, 20 and 30. I've got a 5 pin sight but don't really use 3 of them. Not enough difference for a 10 yard. I could really get by with 1 pin to 30. I've got them set buy they are close.

on my five pin i have 20-30-40-50-60 pins but i will never use the 50-60 pins when hunting just because any slight movement in the shot, which will happen with fever, can cause an arrow to hit a leg the gut or worse the foot.
The goal in bowhunting is a quick humane kill minus the long suffering for a wounded deer that got away.

I have one adjustable pin with marks for 20, 30. 40, and 50. I use them for 3D and target. When I'm hunting, it stays set at 25.
