The multi pins were giving me a hard time in low light, so I just ordered this... http://bigbrowndoggear.com/shop/inde...&product_id=80 it's half the price of a HHA and over a pound lighter. Someone on the green screen actually highly recommended to me, I can give you feedback next week. Good luck!


    Looks like a pretty decent sight. I have been shooting a multi pin forever and ever since last season have wanted to change to a single pin. So many to choose from.

      I started using single pin for indoor shoots and tried it out hunting a few years ago. haven't owned anything with more than 1 pin for 4 years. I'll never go back.

        I have a 3 pin ascent by mbg. I feel that's the best of both worlds

          I've used single pin for the better part of a decade and never missed a shot because of it. I set mine at 25 and shoot a lot at off yardages (hold over and under).

          i've shot a mess of deer and hogs, never would shoot one anyway that was moving so fast i couldn't make an adjustment if needed.

            I shoot an apex covert single pin. Love it and I don't think I could go back to multi.

              I have shot both and always go back to the multi pin. I do a lot of spot and stalk hunting around the world and things tend to happen quickly. I have had elk run in to 10 yards, bust me, run out to 50 yards and get shot. I like being able to pick a pin and go. If I mainly stand hunted I would be much more likely to use a single pin. The last two years I have been shooting multi pin sliders. For me it is the best of both worlds. I have 2 hogg fathers right now. One 3 pin and one 4 pin. I can shoot fixed pins to 40 or 50 yards depending on the sight and then dial it in out to 110-120 yards. Works well.

                I really like the single pin, I practice to be comfortable shooting 20-40yds with the pin in the 20 yd position for on the fly situations. Really like it

                  I just switched to a Axcel Accutouch single pin sight. So far I like it!

                    Really thinking of switching to a single pin.Getting older and had lasic a few years back so the pins are really starting to blur together. Thinking about the Apex Covert Pro. I like the idea of adjustable light settings and a sight picture that doesnt change.

                      I use a MBG Ambush Ascend.

                      Exactly, I've seen guys out west on spot and stalk hunts miss shot opportunities because they were messing with the slider because the animal moved off another 15 yards after they had drawn.

                        Shooting a Spot Hogg Tommy Hogg...came from 7pins, 5pins, and 3pin sights...they were beginning to get clustered in my vision...single pin is way better for clearing up the sight picture...Haven't shot anything alive...only foam targets, 3D...

                          I have switched to a single pin twice and Bob times after shooting it for a year I switch back.
                          I mostly spot and stalk out west and maybe I would stick with a single pin if I was stand hunting back east.
                          I do like them for a clear sight picture while 3D shooting but thing happen fast in the backcountry with live animals.

                            sight-master.com is your first and best source for all of the information you’re looking for. From general topics to more of what you would expect to find here, sight-master.com has it all. We hope you find what you are searching for!

                            Get the elite micro at the top. I have this sight on both my bows. Have for years and would NOT use anything else. Best of both worlds, single pin and best part is you can move it with ease at full draw to any yardage you want. It is a little pricey but is very well made. I opted for the 7XL scope option over the standard 2XL that comes on it. Give them a call, they will fix you up.

                              Thanks for all the input. I think I'll get serious about the single pin sight. I did like the one variation on a down pin versus the traditional bottom up style. Up to this point I'm a target killer getting ready to go for this coming turkey season. I got into archery because it was more intense and close up so I can't fathom making a 100 + yard shot at a animal. Now to decide which sight to buy...

Multiple pins cluster on me bad. I set it on 28 yards when hunting and know to aim high or low a bit. I like the down pin because it keeps the target below the pin in clear sight.
                                Explain please?
                                Some kind of peep?
