Single pin sight question?

[BIG_B]

Been shooting most of my life and have always used 5 pin sights. Have read some good reviews on a single pin sight and think I may try them. Anyone on here shoot a single pin sight? What are the pro's and Con's?

I bought a Tru Glo Rangerover just so I could try one out and really liked it. It takes some getting use to, even on the practice range. I did forget to move the pins on occasion which has resulted in one lost arrow. I hunted with it as well and and even for a stand hunter you must be aware of where the pin is when the animals show up. I did miss a couple of pigs that I should have adjusted the sight for but didn't. I think that is more my "bad" shooting than the sight though. I just bought a new Helim and I went back to a 5 pin sight though and think I will stay with the multi pins. When I shot 3D the single slider will put you in a different class. The first 3D shoot I went to with the single pin I did miserable, but after that first "lesson" I actually shot better.

Don't do it!
Dumbest sights ever made, my dad lost severAl bucks of a lifetime because he was at full drAw watching the buck walk away . You can't always adjust your pin.

I also have a tru glo range rover sight. I love it. I have marks out to 90 yards. A milk jug at 80 yards is no problem for me except on windy days. Its fun shooting "long range" with a bow. Saying that I will not shoot at an animal past 20 yards. What I like a about the single pin is you can really concentrate on your pin. Your sight picture isn't cluttered either. If I didn't shoot single pin I'd prolly go back to my trophy ridge sight where the pins were up and down opposed to left and right. The only con I could think of would come in a hunting situation. Where you might shoot at different ranges but for me it's not an issue.

I really like mine if I'm hunting a trail I range a few places out where I could get a shot. I adjust my pin for my first choice in shots. Typically set it up at 25 and I'm good from 20-30 with just aiming a tick low or high.
I really like that with a single pin you can get odd yardages like 33 or 27.

I have a buddy that loves his but I still shoot 5-pin sights due to that when a deer comes out I would probably forget to move my sights. To much to remember in those few moments of excitement.

I have 2 of them. Boss Hogg and Tommy Hogg. Love both of them. People use single pin sights for elk and every other kind of animal that moves a lot. I can shoot out to 25 yd with my 20yd mark. If the deer is 25-30 I set the mark at 25 and account for the deer dropping at that range.

My son has a range rover on his bow and loves it. It really helped his accuracy.

I have a Trophy Ridge Drive waiting for me at the local Cabelas, s I will be finding out soon enough

For all of those who say you don't or won't have time to move your pin, I say nonsense. I you practice enough at different ranges, and are not afraid to hold you single pin in a different location than normal, a single pin sight is the best thing out there.

1. No chance of choosing the wrong colored pin, or forgetting which color is what range when a deer steps out.
2. Easier to see through the sight without as much clutter from other pins. So you might actually see the branch you are about to shoot before you let fly.
3. Set it and forget it. You can set your pin to a specific yardgae(like27) and then aim a tad high or low depending on the max range you are comfortable shooting.


Who can tell me how much high or low a .019 fiber will cause an arrow to hit at 20 as opposed to 25 yards, if you hold them on the same spot?

There are a ton of awesome single pin sights out there. HHA, True Glo, Copper John, Sure Loc, CBE, and others. If you want to try it, I say go for it! You will be glad you did.

couldnt agree more with this statement.. I have the sure loc sportsman special and i love it never had a problem with adjusting it while in the stand or spot and staulk... To me a single pin sight gives you a more feild of view.. Mine tapes out to 130 yards great sight for hunting or 3d

Hha

I have a HHA with .019 pin. I really like it. I range the possible paths of where the deer might come and then when I see one I just set the sight for that distance. I love the one vertical pin. I did have to adjust one of the screws when I put the quiver on. Other than that it has been great. Shot a 3 pin the other day and had trouble remembering which pin to use. Not a problem with the HHA.

I just bout a Trophy Ridge Drive single BRIGHT green up pin slider. It's very good quality and comes with the light for $60.

I like having a clear sight picture. I set my yardage on the ground for 25 and 35yds. then I get out my summit climber and shoot from 18-20ft high and out to 40yds and mark those setting with a different color ink. I've done it that way for years w other slider sights and have always had good luck. and since most of my shots are under 25yds, I can compensate yardages if necessary. But you need to practice to be efficient at compensating and it helps to really KNOW your equipment and it's trajectory.
