Olympic archers use single pin. Once you start single you will never go back to a multi pin.
x2 on the above.Quote:

If you're doing 3d shoots, and fixed shooting events, then definitely single pin...
I have never target shot, strictly hunting. Can't beat a single pin.
Interesting..I was contemplating the same thing, and had a friend convince me otherwise.Quote:

Having the multiple pins would be priceless, since adjusting yardages during animal movement would be a hinderance...
However, that being said.
If you've got a bear bait, or if you're nailing turkeys within 10-20 yards, then maybe single pin would be better..
As for the Op, I'd suggest you let us know what exactly your intentions are...
There's a tool in the toolbox for every encounter.
single pin all the way
With today's flat shooting bows you can set a single pin at 25 yds and be within the kill zone from 15 to 30 yds. If you ever used one you would see adjusting the yardage takes less effort than attaching a release. If your target is further than 30 yds you likely have time to slide the sight easily. I lazer points of reference around my stand and then set the pin. Holding a bit over or under if needed becomes instinctive and you don't have the clutter of multiple pins. I don't know anybody who has ever gone back to multi pins after using a good single. But hey, different strokes.....
Good info...I'll put that in my wallet for future..Quote:
