Green Bullet Report post Posted January 20, 2015 i'm using an adjustable single pin sight....i like it so far....question is when you are still hunting and an animal can come in anywhere from 30-60 yds, what default distance do you set your sight at to maximize your chances of not having to microadjust?

WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted January 20, 2015 I shoot a multi-pin slider just for that reason, but if I was doing it, 40 or 45 would be where I would have it locked into place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J.S.R. Report post Posted January 21, 2015 I went from a single pin slider to a 3 pin slider. So much more nice! But in your case I would set it at 40. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Browns Report post Posted January 21, 2015 I'm planing on having an archery bull elk tag this year and was considering using the trophy ridge react sight(one pin)....what do you guys think? I've been considering this sight for a while. It looks like it would be a nice sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted January 21, 2015 Do a search on trick pin shooting. Its been a while but you should find a guy showing some info on just this issue. I have a white mark on the stem below the fiber dot that is 10 yard higher shot. So I set my slide at 50 yards and I can shoot pretty close from 40 to 60 without adjustment. The only still hunt shot I had was 60 yards is why I set it that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4Falls Report post Posted January 21, 2015 I shoot a single pin. When still hunting I set the pin to match the terrain. 40 for open country. 20 in thicker stuff. Ive also found that practicing this by walking the 3d course and using a fixed pin helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgraffaz Report post Posted January 21, 2015 Good info, are there any other recommendations for one pin sights? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.S.R. Report post Posted January 21, 2015 Montana black gold ascent ambush!!!! Thank me later! Haha. Seriously though MBG makes an amazing sight. I had an HHA and switched to the MBG ascent and I am much more pleased! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgraffaz Report post Posted January 21, 2015 I like the idea of the trophy ridge react because it supposibly automatically sights its self in if you get your 20 and 30 pin dialed in...any one have any experience with this sight? I will look into the MBG! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kazpilot25 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 I've got the HHA Optimizer Lite and like it a lot. I haven't used it in a hunting situation yet, but have wondered the same thing. I'll probably set it at 40 yards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kidso Report post Posted January 23, 2015 I have an HHA Optimizer single pin sight. I had previously always used fixed pin sights exclusively, until this slider sight came with my bow. I hated and despised that single pin, until I began using it at the range. I always wondered if I would lose time in the field adjusting it for an animal. However, I am 2 for 2 with the sight and have taken both bear and javelina with it. For me, this sight "forces" me to use the rangefinder around my neck, when previously, I let my adrenaline take over when I had fixed sights and hardly ever ranged my target animal and consequently missed half of my shots! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigtony77 Report post Posted January 31, 2015 you can't go wrong with Montana Black gold.... I have had a lot of success keeping my pin locked at 30 yards. In 90 percent of my hunting experiences if the animal presented itself beyond 40 yards, I have had time to range and adjust my pin..i try to never shoot at "alert" animals...
