When I use sights, I use a single pin. I refuse to shoot long anymore, to much chance of an issue happening.
I shoot 15 and under these days basically. Keep the pin on 15. Keep my instinctive to 15 and even the crossbow only at 15( when my shoulder injury won't allow a regular bow or I just have the desire to use the crossbow)

Single pin. HHA I believe. I've used it for several years and don't think I could go back.

I haven't used sights in many years for bow. one pin only on crossbow.
when I did use sights, it was one pin at max comfortable shooting distance, and just drop the pin by eye for less.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Four pins, 30, 40, 50, and 60. the old Mathews Black Max II will get to 60 with easy accuracy provided the wind isn't whipping up a storm.

If you have a 5 pin that you like and you shoot well I would stick with it!!
But since you asked. I'm a 3 pin guy myself. I've shot 1 pin and 5 pins--- too little and too much for me.
I like 20,30, 40(floater)
The MBG Ascent 3 pin slider is AWESOME>

Just like any other multi pin slider. Bottom pin is your floater. Their sights are amazing. Built like a tank. Bright pins. No slop in the adjustments. CS that cant be beat

I shoot recurve and longbow almost exclusively and haven't had a sight in decades. If you only shoot out to 20 yards I'd say one pin. The fewer the better. However, if you plan on hunting Elk or other critters in wide open spaces you may want to add one or two depending on how far you PLAN to shoot and the trajectory of your particular setup. Less is always best to contain confusion when stress is applied.

Do you prefer recurve or longbow when shooting stuff in the pelvis?

3 Pins - 20, 30, & 40, have served me well for over 25 years. 40 is my self imposed limit. Most are taken around 20yards +-5yds.
