Multiple Pins

[SWMIhunter]

Being a treestand hunter I’ve always had a single pin. Do most use 5 or 7 out west shooting farther? Probably just personal preference but figured I’d ask.

Like you said, it is just personal preference. I have tried all the configurations and prefer 3 pins on a slider.

2 pin slider works best for me. You have a little room if animal is walking. 5 pins isn’t bad in my yard but too much to think about when I’m trying to arrow something. Just my personal experience.

I run 5 pins,30-70 yards for elk and deer in the mountains, im not shooting anything beyond 60 ideally.

I personally run a 5 pin slider.

5 pin slider here, too. Been shooting 5 pins for 35 years so it’s not hard to find the right pin.

What are y’all’s favorite 2-3 pin sliders. I need a new sight and think that would work well for me.

Outlier here:
Single pin regardless of geography or species. I like the simple sight view of single vertical pin/animal.

I admittedly can suffer from Multi Pin Confusion Disorder at crunch time on game so I abandoned the 3-5 pin sights years ago.

I run a 4 pin slider (20-50 yards).

3 pin slider, 25, 35, 60. Spot Hogg Tommy Hogg. Black gold mtn light and new axcel landslyde look good too.

It is completely personal preference. At my shop we mostly sell 5 pin slider style sights from an assortment of brands. ( Black Gold, Spot Hogg, CBE, Rocky Mountain, Axcel) A lot of customers are beginning to question getting the 3 pin for a less cluttered sight housing. I am looking at going to a 5 pin from a 3 pin for hunting here out west. I advise people to set their pins 30-70 due to the rarity of getting a 20 yard shot in the desert.

4 pin 30-60.
