Default question about sights

Fairly new to bowhunting and had a question about sights. I've seen on a few hunting shows where the person has their pins labeled such as 20, 40, 60 with some kind of sticker or label. Just wondering if anyone has used them and whether they found them useful, where could I buy some, etc.

Are you sure the numbers were on the pins or did you see a one-pin sight that is adjustable to the yardage you want to shoot?

It looked like a sticker that was place on them or something like that. They showed it from sight picture and I was just thinking it might help with quick pin Identification.

I've never used any type of labels for my pins. At least for me, I guess it's never really been a problem to remember what they are dialed in for...

That is where I saw it IL-Cornfed. Just thought it might come in handy as I've got 20, 30, 40, 50, & 60 pins. I haven't hunted with the bow that much but have been practicing out to 50 and 60 in prep for Sept elk hunt. Not that I'll take that long of a shot but was told to be able to hit targets at the longer ranges.
