Focus on pin or target?

So do you guys/gals focus on your pin and leave your target fuzzy when shooting or do you focus on the target and leave the pin fuzzy??

i was shooting yesterday and notice i always leave the pin fuzzy,,,but was wondering if some shot the other way.

I try to focus on the tip of the pin at all times.

I focus on the target, If I focus on the pin the target is a blur and you need to focus on a specific point on the target

Always on the target! If I focus on the pin and the target gets fuzzy do I want to take a shot at an animal I'm not seeing clearly? No, not me.

Both. I line the pin to the target and release. Both eyes open also.

RE: Focus on pin or target?

For years I always focused on the pin with one eye closed. recently I started shooting by focusing on the target with both eyes open. My shooting has improved.
