Keep It Simple

[noodle one]

I have been reading on here were people have had some trouble shooting with the wrong pin at deer. When I first started using a peep site and pins boy my set up was the cat's meow (four pins) the boys were impressed. I had the same problems back then that some of you are having now. What pin? they are so close to the next one up or down,I hope I am using the right one. I hunted with four pins for three years and told myself no more..I don't hunt fields, I hunt in the woods and all my shots are 15 to 25 yards out and some a lot closer. I hunt with one pin only ,I set it for 20 yard and I know if the deer is in side of that 5 to 15 yards I have to hold a little low. From 20 to 28 yards I am dead on. I will not shoot over 25 yards. It is what works best for me. I hope this helps some of you out . Get to know what your bow can do with one pin. It is so simple and it works.

K.I.S.S. keep it simple , stupid. I totally agree if you have practiced enough with 1 pin you han hold high or low according to the judged distance. The problem is ,the average hunter doesn't practice much more than a few arrows a few tmes before the season.

i did allmost the same thing i went from 4 pins to 2 pins 20 and 30 gets to confusing when you have a hot doe with a brute chasing her easy to mess up

i used to use just one pin and adjust accordingly. This year i added a 30-35 yard pin and i think the 2 pin approach works. it all depends on your stands. I have a lot and bring the range finder every time and shoot a bunch of 3d targets every year.

practice makes perfect.

I use the single pin on my bow . It is adjustable but like above , I either aim low or aim high . Did this with my 3D target and it works fine .

I may go to three pin from a five pin... Simple enough if they are all different colors, with practice u will subconsciously associate color with distance given u practice enough with that set up... 10, 20,30... That's all u really need, I'm not a fan of one pin adjustables with little time to adjust or holding high or low... Three pins , pic a color, set it on the money and rip it....

i like my 4 pin.i can put the little hair i am trying to hit right in the middle of the two if it is 25 yrds.I am just used to the bow.That where i keep it simple.Keep the same equipment i am used to.Some day i will upgrade.(i think)

2 pins. always been that way from the start.

1st pin is dead nuts to 35 yds before the arrow drops. 2nd pin is zeroed for 45, arrow only drops 5" at this distance when using 1st pin so when in doubt i use the 2nd pin and adjust to whatever i judge the distance to be.
