5 String

I have a Bear Vapor 300. IBO is 302 fps. I use a Yikes Bowsight instead of a peep. I use a single pin sighted in at 20 yards. From 0 to 15 yards I aim 2 to 3 inches low of where I want to hit. From 15 to 25 yards I hold exactly where I want to hit. Past 25 and up to 30 yards I hold right at the top of the deers back and the arrow hits in the vitals. I don' t shoot deer past 30 yards because where I hunt there aren' t any shots past 30 yards. For this reason I prefer the 1 pin setup.

I shoot a single pin slider with to settings. 1 @ 25 and the other @ 40. I can shoot out to 30 yards with the 25 yard setting and anything beyond that, I move it to the 40 yard setting. Foer most hunting situations, you should never have to move off the 25 yard setting. I just plain like the simplicity of the single pin.

Straightarrow

I have a single pin, Impact Solo. It' s set at 22 yards because I never shoot past 30, and this setting puts me approx. halfway between the drop from 10 yards to 30.

By the way, this is the drop between 20 and 40, depending on speed.

Speed (fps) Drop in inches
220........... 28.7
240........... 24.2
260........... 20.6
280........... 17.7
300........... 15.5
320........... 13.6

The drop is greater from 20 yards to 30 yards, than from 10 yards to 20 yards, because the arrow is constantly losing speed. At 280 fps, the drop from 20 to 30 yards should be in the neighborhood of 8" . From 25 to 30, somewhere in the 5" range. This will vary slightly depending on the drag on the arrow. Large fletching and feathers will slow the arrow quicker, causing a slightly greater drop.

I use a Trophy Ridge because I like the vertical alignment of the pins and the field of view it provides. My Extreme VFT is a very flat shooter even with 520 gr. arrow. There isn' t 1/8" space between my 20 and 30 yard pins but my 40 is about 3/32" lower. I use the 40 for most of my practice and the other two are for business. The pins also fine tune adjust without tools.

I got a Sightmaster micro elite. with the starburst2 scope. It has one verticle tru glow pin with a crosshair and a bubble level. I recently added a touchmaster to it. I like the concept of one pin and I also like to put the pin where I intend to hit. Instaed of manipulating it above or below. The touch master allows me to adjust yardage before I draw without taking my hand off the string and I can also change the yardage at full draw if the animal moves. So far I like it better than counting or manipulating multilple pins.

i use a single pin set at 20 yds, use fingers and no kisser button or peep sight.... the tip of index finger goes in nook of my nose just outside of my nostril just above my lip, if a deer is say 30yds out i drop my index finger down to the corner of my mouth, which adds 10yds to my pin set at 20yds. any closer then 20 yds i put all 3 fingers under the nock and shoot instintivly....... been shooting like that for over 20yrs and have over 30 deer to my credit.......but you have to practice with what each of you have as your setup.......
