I like 3 pins. (Mostly an elk hunter also) First set at 25 yards, second at 40 and third at 50. The 25 yard pin will be within a couple inches of the middle (white of a NFAA target) from 15 to 30 yards so anything close I just hold that pin in the middle and shoot. Longer ranges like 40 and 50 I usually have time to hit with a rangefinder and confirm. Can shoot accurately to 70 by holding over but don't like to shoot at game over 50.

I have tried sliders with success but have also taken several animals that hit my target distance and kept on coming and ended up being taken much closer. It is nice to just use a different pin instead of all the movement involved moving a sight or the guesswork of holding under with a slider. I don't condone long range bowhunting so having a slider for 'long shots' does not matter to me.

My favorite bow does not have a sight, or wheels for that matter.
