5 pin or 7 pin sight?
I hope the third axis is worth the $$$. Oh yeah, .19 pins, larger diameter.

RE: 5 pin or 7 pin sight?
How about a single pin slider? That's the best overall option IMO.
When you hunt, set it at 25 yards and you're good from 0 to 30 without moving it. I never move my single pin while hunting. I just limit my shots to 30 yards. It's so nice to not have to think about which pin to use. The only decision is - Is it less than 30 yards? If so, put the pin in the middle of the chest and let it rip.There's nothing to screw up this way.
But for long range practice, I haveuse a sighttape that lets me dial in any yardage out to 75 yards to the EXACT yardage with . And you can't beat a single vertical pin for field of view.

I think it all depends on how comfortable you are shooting at long distances. I have a 4 pin sight with pins set at 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards. i will never take a shot further than that, so therefore didn't think i needed anymore pins.
