I shoot a Dual Trac and have my pins set at 20-30.

I shot a doe at about 30-32 yards this last season with my second pin, zero adjustment. And it happened very fast so absolutely no way I would have had time to range and adjust.

That alone made me happy I had something a little more than just a single pin.

 

Practice at multiple ranges with your pin set to 30 yards. In my experience, my bow shot 2” high at 20 yards and 8” low at 40 with the pin set at 30.

 

If I could only pick one sight it would be the Dialed ARXOS with the 3V.

 

Honestly i use mine like a single. Ive gotten so use to holding over/under i never use the 2nd pin. If you like hha get a used ryz dual pin. If you dont mind spot hogg theyre a dime a dozen fast eddies out there.

 

I switched to an HHA single pin several years ago from a multi-pin sight, mainly to clear up my sight picture for aging eyes. Most of my hunting is tight so I have never had to adjust my pin before a shot while hunting, I usually set it at 25 and I am good for anything from 20 to 30 without adjustment, but multi-pins do have their place.

Coming from a notorious over thinker, don't over think it.
You stated that you want adjustability and don't really want multiple pins, so unless you are going with an electronic, range finding, angle compensating sight, you already have a good sight; so put it on your rig and get to shooting, you can always replace it later if you want.

 

Totally agree. I set my sight at 20 and typically leave it there. Even with a 27.5 DL my set up can make a clean kill shot out to 30 by aiming at middle of the vitals. Once in my stand I range the area and know where the 30-yard circumference is related to my shooting lanes. Keep it simple with less confusion when the heart is pumping from excitement.

 

Garmin Xero Pro = no guessing on yardage when elevated

 

trophy ridge hot wire, yes it has 3 pins but the 3rd pin just move it to the bottom and when you want/need to shoot longer move it to where you want it. that way you will not have to worry or even think about, Did I move my pin back to 20 or did I leave it at 30 ?
I hunt wide open spaces from a tree, but limit shots to 40,

at the range I can move that one pin out to 70, with higher poundage bows out to infinity

 

If your bow shoots at least 260FPS you only need two pins for treestand hunting. Set the first pin at 25 and the second at 35. The first pin is good from 0-30 and the second from 27-40. You'll need to practice shooting unknown distances to get used to it, but it's worked for me.

 

It is likely impossible to optimize for 2 different scenarios (hunting and casual shooting) in all dimensions simultaneously, since there are compromises involved. My hunting sight is a 2 pin, fixed with top pin at 25 yards and bottom at 40. It is perfect for how I hunt.

 

I'm a fan of my Spot Hogg Triple Stack - Large housing with 3 adjustable vertical pins.

 

HHA single pin! Clear sight picture no clutter!!!

 

I have a BG Whitetail 3 pin slider, and I like it. If you don't need 3rd axis adjustment, I recommend it. You could get one custom made with two pins I'm sure.

 

Spot Hogg Fast Eddie 2 pin vertical. You never notice the 2nd pin until you need it. Shoot it like a single pin. Move it whenever/wherever you need it. The 2nd pin is a "safey" in the event you don't get time to move the sight. Most bow setups end up with the 2nd pin landing around 35yds +/- when the top pin is set at 20yds.

 

I have been using a Hogg father with this set up for literally ever it feels like. I would never get to shoot over 35 yards anyways so it works out perfect for me. Even out west they work well.

 

Spot Hogg Triple Stack with .010 pins. Built like a tank, 3 pins, no clutter in the sight picture.
I also have the Fast Eddie XL Double with .010 pins. Same build quality. I think I like the bigger housing on the triple and you don’t notice anything different as far as clutter with the triple.

 

Did some of you guys even read his initial thread or not? He’s not interested in a 3 pin, slider or not, and I couldn’t agree with him more. A complete waste, just get a fixed sight and quit wasting your money. He asked for a good 2 pin recommendation, or whether to stay with a single. I could maybe see a 2 pin being beneficial in some scenarios , but not really, especially for his uses.

So back to your original question, my vote is to stick with what you’re using. HHA is the best in the business, IMO, and a single pin. Like said above, a single pin will get you to 40 easily with practice, as you know, and much less clutter. Good luck in your search though.

 

I tend to agree, I guess why decision is so difficult. Hard to leave what I'm accustomed to, just thought I was possibly missing something.
I'm starting from scratch and will continue my search for a single pin, more than likely another HHA.
I appreciate the help fellas

 

Not sure if anyone has used or even seen an ABC sight, pendulum style sight it has 2 piviot points of various and longer yardage. Of course I got mine in Fl. back in 1993 so I'm not sure if the Pat. Pend. ever stuck????

 

OP I'm making my own sight to fix the same issue because IMHO there isn't a good one made as of yet. They are either way to expensive, heavy and overthought or too basic so I have to do it myself............lol

 

Any prototype pics?

 

Maybe it goes back to my FITA target shooting days with a single pin slider, followed by 3 decades of sightless trad shooting. But I tried pretty much every configuration from multiple fixed pins to dual sliders and always come back to a single pin slider. Sure, it has limitations.....as does pretty much every other option. I shot MBG single pin sliders for several years and tried an HHA Tetra a couple winters ago. Now that is all I shoot.....have two with zero regrets. There is a big difference between the old low end HHA sights and their upper end models. They have added upgrades since my model Tetra and I'm pretty sure you would find what you like in their lineup.

 

Thinking maybe a Tetra Rez dbl pin. Like a friend said, use the second pin if you like or just ignore it, it's not in the way. I really don't need the upper end model with removable wheel as once I settle upon an arrow I'm done.

 

I have a Black Gold 3 pin adjustable, gets me out to 100yds if needed. For whitetail I never move the thing. I would think you could just remove one pin and you have a two pin adjustable.

 

I have a HHA single pin and I prefer that over a multi pin. In a tree or on the ground. The pin is bright and I have a nice open view of the target.

 

I just bought a Tetra RYZ. So far, I'm still debating if I like it any more than the single pin. I hunt mainly in the deep woods and thickets where 30 yards is a long shot. I do have the occasional opportunities at shots out to 40 or 50 yards, but I try to limit myself to inside 30. Currently, I keep my pin on 25 yards and the zero stop at 20. I can aim at middle to high lungs out to 30-35 yards and still be in the vitals using my 25 setting. I guess I've been using HHA single pins for so long, it just seems natural to me.

 

I’ve used a single fixed pin HHA for a long time, they don’t even make that model anymore. Think I’m gonna try a Black Gold Rush 3 pin, might take out the 3rd pin. Trying to keep it as simple as possible

 

MBG dual trac. Second pick would be the triple stack and put electrical tape over the 3rd pin. It disappears and you have a 2 pin that both are adjustable. Main complaints about the triple stack are: pins aren’t refined as the dual trac and it’s heavier. The housing size adjustability of the triple stack is very nice though.
