Might as well try a single pin, who knows you might like it better, I can't see myself going back to multi pin after switching to single pin I love it, leave my sight set at 25 yes aim an inch high for 30 and just a hair low at 20, 40 yds I aim 3-4 inches high ....and on top of it you have no clutter! good to go

 

Or you could do what you said that would work just as well I just like being able to focus on one pin , it's a lot easier when you don't have anything else in the housing but 1 pin. JMO

 

A lot of guys use this setup with a single pin. My bow shoots 276 and set at 25 I am 1 1/2 inches high at 20 and 4 inches low at 30. Works pretty well. The only tough thing I see about what you are proposing is the 15 yard gap between your 25 and 40 yard pin. Would make shooting 30 too 40 a little tougher but you can learn your bow and get a good feel for it this way.

My advise long term would be just go with a single pin slider. Helps your sight picture a ton with very few drawbacks IMO

 

That will work. I prefer a single pin slider for treestand hunting and I normally keep it set for 25 yards in the more open areas. Hold high or low as required.

However, if you do that I suggest you practice from a treestand to get a better understanding. It be best if you had a deer target and have someone move it around for you during your testing.

 

I use my top pin out to 30 yards. Dead on at 25 and my 2nd pin at 40. Great for hunting.

 

This works well for me seeing most of my shots are within this range in the woods in the northeast.

 

If your arrow speed is over 300 fps, set your first pin dead on at 27 yards. Your arrow will stay in a 3" circle from 30 yards and in. Then set your second pin for 40 yards.

 

I used to set my top pin at 30 and just aim a little low but after getting glasses all my pins were bluring together so I got a single pin slider so much clearer no clutter. I will set it at 30 and aim low or high out to 40yards unless there is time to dial to excact yardage.

 

I just use a single pin HHA and leave it set at 25 yds or 30 yds depending on where I'm at...generally 25 yds......I'm good to 40 yds by holding level on a deer's back with that setting....with a 30 yd setting, I hold 4 inches below the back.... arrows drop right in the heart/lung area.... if it is 25 yds or under, I hold 1/3rd of the way up as one normally will... 20 years of hunting this way and dozens of deer killed.... the faster a bow is, the better a single pin is at a fixed setting, the longer your kill zone will be.....I'm at 310 fps...

 

For hunting, at 300 fps and keeping shots at 30 yards or less, it will work great. A 25 yard pin set dead on will be about 1.5 inches high at 20 yards and about 2.5 inches low at 30 yards. Aiming in the high heart area will in most cases result in a dead deer with this set up.

 

Well guys I actually got this sure loc lethal sight on my bow so if I did the 25 yard pin i could use that top pin like a single pin slider if there is time to range and adjust and if not the 40, 50, 60 and 70 would be good to go for the longer range shots.

I've always had my top pin sighted for 30 yards. I've never had any trouble shooting anywhere from 5-30 yards aiming low with that pin...

 

I set my first pin for 27 yards. I hold dead on an animal from 25-30. I hold low under 25. Alot easier to compensate at close range than further out

 

I wouldn't recommend setting your top pin at 27 or even 30 yards. Most hunting shots are taken inside of 25 yards. You NEVER want to put yourself in a situation where you are increasing your chances of hitting too HIGH. I recommend you sight your top pin in at 22-23 yards and hold dead on from 15-30 yards. A deer at 30 yards is gonna drop 2-3 inches by the time the arrow hits it. Your mind will automatically want to center your pin on the middle of the deer, and if you are gonna hit 3" high at 20 yards you will more than likely only hit 1 lung.

Let the deer drop into the arrow!! A miss low is better than wounding one high!!

I've tried multi-pin sights a few times and always go back to a single pin. If you know the trajectory of your setup setting your pin to the ethical distance you plan to shoot makes life easier. For example: I know my 20 yard mark will hit 4 inches low at 30 and 12 inches low at 40. Personally I won't take a shot unless I am reasonably sure that I can place the arrow where I want it to go. If my ethical distance is say 40 yards, I know my 30 yard mark will hit 8 inches low at 40. Now, very likely I won't have a clear shot at 40 therefor leaving my single pin on 27 to 30 expecting a 35 yard shot or less makes that setting perfect for my setup. I don't hunt anymore but when I did all my hunting was in the North East where every kill was about 20 yards or less from a tree stand, from where I measured my probable kill zone in all directions. If I hunted out West my whole plan would need rethinking.
If I went back to multi-pins I would likely use only 2 or 3. 25-35-& maybe a 45. Knowing the trajectory of your own setup is the key to using whichever sight you decide to use. Plotting the trajectory and know your hunting area IMO just makes life easier.

 

Im not sure what setting your pin at 20 vs 25 will do for your pins being blurry, but assuming you have 3 pins you could go every 7 yds for example 19 26 33 or 22 29 36. That will give you a pin gap just right to split pins without your lefts and rights being to far off.

 

I ran into that problem after I turned 41 and I switch to a adjustable single pin by HHA and problem was solved.

 

I was using a 5 pin Copper John. Great sight but...pins were so close I couldn't see anything right of the pins. I went back to a single pin. Most of my buddies are also shooting single pins now and really it's a no brainer once you try it and see the difference.

 

I agree with BP1992. Works best for me!
