Mine are 20,30,40,50

I would think the pin gap would be very large at the longer distances especially, if you do 20 yd gaps. depending on the speed of the bow you might go something like: 25, 40,50 with 3 pins.

I have 4 pins. 20-thru 50. I am just too lazy to take off the bottom 2 pins I don't use for hunting.

I have a 3 pin sight. 20-30-40yd setting. Practice @ 50yds, only holding over slightly w/the 40 pin. When u move to 20, it feels like you're standing next to it.

I have an HHA Optimizer 1 Pin site..With the lever and set points to adjust Yardages.

I have settings for 10, 20 ,30, 40, 50, 60 yards and Will probably take it out to 75 yards (I have plenty of room left for additional yardages)

Like Todd..I love to shoot at long range in practice. A Varmit may not be so happy that I practiced this shot!

And the follow up shot is also a good reason to practice!

I'm with Rybo.....but I shoot from 40 and 50 yds MORE than I shoot from shorter distances, practicing. It's probably 75% at the longer distances.....and I've never taken a shot fartehr than 33yds (which I thought was a little shorter when I took it).

I don't like a lot of pins in my sight when I'm hunting, so the best setupI ended up with is 26, 40, 50. The 26 yd pin willallow a hit within a 4.5" group from 7 to 30 yds. (275 fps). This way I can still see my target clearly for the vast majority of hunting shots. Works for me!
