That's my current setup but my pins are .29's hence the need for a change and I find myself trying for longer distances that's why I'm looking for a 5 pin or single pin
Once that animal comes out, your heart pumps, you decide whether it's 30 or 40 yards, draw back and choose the correct pin, you won't notice any other obstructions...
I won't argue against a single pin, but i can definitely tell you that all potential distractions of pins go away in a real hunt scenario..
I WOULD however, suggest, if you're shooting paper targets, not to use the green pin as your GOTO colour..Green pin on yellow ten is annoying..
IF YOU HAVE PERFECT VISION THEN DO WHAT YOU WANT. BUT IF NOT AND AS YOU AGE INTO READING GLASSES, THOSE MULTI PINS ON A FAST BOW ARE PRETTY CLOSE TOGETHER AND THEY ALL JUST SEEM TO MELD TOGETHER INTO ONE LARGE PIN (OOPS)Quote:

Single pin.
The reason is that with today's modern and very fast bows, the 5 pins on a multiple pin target will be close together, obscuring a good part of the target. With a single pin this does not happen; also you do not pick the wrong pin by mistake.
The downside is that you need to adjust it for different distances and the movement of doing so may spook the game, but within the regular "kill zone" of 0 to 30 yards there is no need to adjust it since there is very little drop, so set it at 20 yards and it will be good for the entire range.
for longer shots (which you should not do unless you are very comfortable with this) you will have time to adjust your single pin sight as the game is further away and will not see you, especially if you are in a tree stand or blind.
The IQ bowsight with retina lock is really amazing. It will instantly tell you if you are out of form for any reason. Nerves, cold, extra layers, angles anything can alter your form and accuracy. If you go with a five pin, you don't have to use 5 pins. Use one if you wish, but you can decide what is best for you.
Thanks for the info I think I'm going with the single pin i think it will work best for me
Well the sight came in looks great sent the bow in to have the sight installed and peep straightened out also getting all my arrows reflected with flex fletching
