    One pin or three pin slider

    Swamp Fox I didn’t see this post when you did it, and as luck would have it, I am of that age….I got your first reference, and your somewhat newer but still 30 year old reference of your second to last line.

    One pin or three pin slider

    When I had my original HHA single pin, not sure what it was called, but the new ones are optimizer lite, I always had it set at 25 yards. Maybe 30 was better.

    That not an unreasonable thought.

    One pin or three pin slider

    I live in western New York so in the winter I can shoot all year in my basement, but only to 15 yards. When it’s nice out I can shoot out to 150 if I want, but with my draw length and poundage I can only adjust to about 120 with 100 being my main max practice distance.

    One pin or three pin slider

    The big reason I was on the fence is because a few years ago I switched from my single pin back to two fixed pins. One set for 20 and one set for 40. Instead of just splitting the pins for 30 I told myself that if I had a whitetail at 30 I would either hold high with the 20 or low with the 40...

    One pin or three pin slider

    I'm still on the fence about switching for that reason, using the wrong pin. I may buy the three pin slider, practice at home, test it at TAC and at my buddies 13 target 3D range, and if it works out, keep it on the bow. If not, I'll put the single pin back on for the Montana hunt hoping I don't...

    One pin or three pin slider

    I'll look at them as well, picking a bow or other archery accessories is like getting ice cream at Baskin Robbins, there's a lot of good choices, but eventually you have to pick just one.

    One pin or three pin slider

    I never thought about the other pins being used for that purpose, good idea!

    One pin or three pin slider

    For the first 25 or so years I used multiple horizontal pin sights then I went to the HHA vertical single pin sight and used that for about 20 years. Last year I went with the HHA single but bought the slider so I could adjust for long shots should I go out west, and, to be able to go with...

    Thanks for the replies, I plan to make the switch and try a 3 pin sight. I plan to get it on very soon so I can practice with it before TAC in Vermont next month.

    One pin or three pin slider

    I was fortunate enough to have drawn an archery only bull permit in area 700 for the 2024 season. Last year while hunting rifle mule deer and cow elk I told the guide (at 65 my DIY days are over) my plans to apply for the archery tag, and told him I shoot a 62 pound phase 4 with a single pin HHA...

    Self Bow Handle/Grip

    That's how I best understand instructions, thanks!

    Self Bow Handle/Grip

    I think I could make that work. I have some leather but it's much too thin to work. I never thought of an old belt. I have tite bond glue, is that what you would recommend? I have been shooting off my hand but really care for it, so I plan to add a rest of some kind.

    Self Bow Handle/Grip

    I have a self bow that I made a couple years ago. Due to shoulder surgery, I set it aside for some time. I'm back at it, and I'd like to improve my shooting with it. The bow is made of hop hornbeam/iron wood, that I cut and split from my property. Unfortunately, I fashioned it similar to a board...

    How much to tip your hunting guide?

    I have only been on one guided western hunt, it is a family run business. There was some driving around looking for animals, but when we spotted the deer, it was boots on the ground to get in position to get a shot. We all ended up filling our tags, but because deer sense danger, there were more...

    Embarrassed to ask.

    Texas Mike, you're 100% right I owe it to the animal to get it right. Money isn't a factor in how many shots I will take to get it right, I just remember when rifle ammo was about half the price it is now. Good times, good times! The range down the road goes to 300 yards, the range at my house...

    I got some very nice feedback and I appreciate it. I'll work on getting it right. Macintosh, much thanks on the picture filled writeup. At $50 plus a box it stings a little, so I don't want to shoot more than I really need to.

    Embarrassed to ask.

    Thanks for the replies. I don't have a chronograph but I'm sure one of my friends does, I've never asked them. Obviously, I'd prefer a shot at close range, but if the only shot I get on a muley is a longer one, I don't want to take any chances with bullet drop, and if I don't time to get it...
