Single Pin vs. Multiple

[chillr+helim13]

I prefer single pin but cant shoot in hunter class in 3d shoots I have the trophy ridge react pro and react 5 sights awesome easy to sight in

Explain please?
Some kind of peep?

The lolly pop as I call it is actually a big fiber optic holder from Shrewed .180 I believe. Sorry my battery is dead so the pin is not lit up.
I use a peep as well.

Check out the Apex Covert Pro.. I just got one and love it.

Fast bow and single pin the only way to go

Are you able to mount your quiver to it? I have a tight spot and really like having it on my bow.
The brighter you make the pin does it"starburst" on you or stay the same size just increasing in brightness? Thinking about asking for one for my birthday.
Mind me asking, where did you get it and was it hard to set up?

Relatively young in the sport but have a traditional 4 pin set at 20 through 50 yds. Have used that for about a year. Been looking at a single, vertical pin sight with the dial you can set to exact yardage. Of course you have to stop and move then shoot. I've read about pro's and con's but still want real user thoughts. If you use a single pin, do you like it? Has it failed you?
I'm actually to the point where I'm on a lease and going to start doing more than just target practice.

It all depends on where and what you are going to hunt. If you are hunting here in Texas the majority of your hunting is from a blind over a feeder. That means you have concealment and are shooting at a known consistent distance
and a single pin is ideal.

If you hunt out west in the mountains and other open areas or vertical terrain changes where yardages and targets can change quickly and you don't have the time or concealment to be adjusting your sight.

Disagree. Respectfully of course.
I use mine every where. Then again I am used to it.

Wait until you miss a 230 inch mulie because of a one pin sight

How far? I can shoot mine easy out to 40 set at 20. Out to 45 set at 25. And for more open range I set it at 30 and I can shoot out to 50. That's why I always try to shoot a very similar trajectory from bow to bow. No learning curve anymore.

This may have been more due to excitement or buck fever then how many pins he had! Lol

I shoot a HHA single pin, may change brand some day but will stick with a single.

EBAY $169 free shipping and no it was not hard to set up.

it gets brighter as you turn it up. i believe there are 11 settings for different light conditions. forgot i left it on and it stayed on for about 3 days straight and still going. so i guess the battery life is pretty good.

quiver mounts right to it

He was trying to shoot a different buck in its bed at about 24 yds, when he went to full draw this buck jumped up and stared at us at 62 yds and stood there for 30 sec or so, shot under him
The guy could shoot too so the distance wasn't the problem.

I've seen this same thing happen with single pins on muleys, pronghorn, elk, caribou. Single pins are great until the situation becomes fluid.

Out west the shots tend to be a lot longer, I would imagine more elk, and muleys are killed with shots beyond 50 yds than under 50 yds

Started shooting with multiple pins then tried single pins for one season. After that went back to multiple pins. I personally have enough going through my head that I really don't want to be fiddlin around adjusting my pin when trying to make a shot. If your bow shoots flat to 40 yds, then maybe a single pin will work. For me I want to keep things a simple as possible.
