Hey guys, so I've always been a fixed pin sight guy while the single pin slider sights have gained popularity. For the past decade or more I've shot a Trophy Ridge vertical pin sight (which I love and can't understand why it isn't more mainstream). I've never bought into the single pin sliders because I could easily imagine a situation where you would be waiting for an animal to appear or present a shot at a certain distance and then something would happen where the shot is at another distance, possibly while you are at full draw. With a multi pin fixed sight, that's not a big deal, but with a single pin sight, if the distance is great enough, your only point of aim is now terribly off. If you are at full draw, you'd have to let down to adjust your sight.
Now that some slider sights are coming with 2 or 3 pins, I was finally convinced to try one. I have a Spot Hogg Fast Eddie on my new bow that has 2 aiming points. I'm gonna give it a whirl. My question is, for those of you that do shoot single pin slider sights or multi pin slider sights, has the nightmare that I've dreamed up actually ever happened to anyone with any regularity, or have I dreamed up a highly unlikely scenario? I'd like to know because I'm hesitant on this sight.
