For hunting, the fewer pins the better.
I couldn't agree more. That's why I use anHHA single pin sight.

LOL...I don't wanna get into another "discussion" like we had in the last thread. Just go try it and see for yourself

Ah....EI....but there's something you're not divulging. The less moving parts, the better, also.Multi-pin sights have no moving parts to change yardages.

I'm not quite shore if I get the gist of this.Anyway, when I set my single pin, in my case,at 20yrds (I won't shoot past 30), that's where it stays. There is no changing/adjusting for various yardages. Hence, no moving parts.

The "gist" of it is....sights with multiple pins don't have moving parts. Never have to move anything to use it.....and there's never a chance of it being "set" on something else when the moment of truth comes.

That's all.....and enough for me.

It would depend on your bow wieght as well as arrow wieght as to what you shoot for sight pins IMO. I use heavey wieghts and mine are set at 20-25-30 and it does well with me. After 20 yard it will start dropping on me and 35 yards is the max I shoot. I love it when it goes atraight threw them..

When shooting from an elevated platform though, you need to be careful. Should you have to shoot in close, your 20 yard pin might be off because of the downward angle.

I a firm believer that the arck in the arrow would be greater when shooting downward therefor giving be a poorer hit..

Let's not make this harder than it needs to be for the boy.

Yes, elevated shots should be practiced however, using perfect form and bending at the waist your arrow should be dead nuts where you hold.

BUT if you don't bend at the waist but simply drop your bow arm yes, your arrow is going high because of poor form (ie your changing the triangle from peep, sight, anchor)
