    What do you think about a single pin adjustable sight?

    As you can see in my signature I have a 7 pin tommy hogg and a 3 pin tommy hogg for my bows. I was thinking about switching to a single pin hogg fathers for my bows and selling my tommy hoggs. I am wondering whether any of you were in a situation where a multi pin sight would have helped you arrow a animal versuses a single pin? I think it would help me shoot even better but the thought of having a giant at 40 yards and have the single pin set at 20 yards and I can't adjust to shoot him. I see alot of people use single pins but am curious what your guy's take is on them. Thanks again for all your guy's help!

    I have never used a single pin, but I have watched two buddies miss horribly cause they forgot to adjust their single pin in the heat of the moment. I will stick to my 5 pin.

    I will definitely get a new head next year because my pins are getting super close!

    I switched from a Montana BG to a hha single pin slider. I think the hha is a heck of alot better. For hunting situations you just leave the pin on 30 yards and practice with it there. So 20 your a couple inches high,30 your dead on, 40 a couple inches low and 50 just hold a hair above the back on a elk anyways. It sure is fun though to shoot a 3d course with a single pin slider nothing like turning your sight to a 100 yards and nailing a deer

    I can't stand a 1 pin, and can't understand how others get "confused" by multiple pins, ie I shot him with my 40yd but thought it was my 30yd pin.

    It's called focus, and train, and learn it!

    a 3 pin would be my minimum, 4/5 preferred.

    30, 40, 50yds.

    it's pretty simple, range or select the animals distance, ok 40yds, then say 1st pin is 30, 2nd pin is 40...ok use the 2nd pin! done, shoot, dead elk.

    I don't get confused just that I sometimes think I am dead on lungs and are a few inches low. I think I might switch and if I have to just get 3 pin heads for both so then I am good to 40 but am really liking the single pin idea now.

    I thought about a single pin when getting a new sight but opted for a multiple pin slider. Got a single pin head to use for 3 d though! There are benefits to both just figure out what's most important to you.
