    Axcel accutouch or spot Hogg fast Eddie. They are the easiest to make fast adjustments. With a fast bow the 20,30,40 yard pins all look like a blob of pins to me. Thus why I like a single pin. HHA makes a fine sight, and I really like them for non-hunting applications where time to adjust is a non issue, but the axcel and spot Hogg take the single pin to the next level with the features they provide.

    With a flat shooting bow I would go that route but i shoot slow and heavies so it spreads my pins out a bit.

    Agreed. Depends on your set up and intended use. for me (30.5" draw @ 70#) I set up at 25y and let it roll from 0-40y with no adjustment. Or if I am shooting known distance (corn pile) I set up on that. My thought is that if he is at 50y, I'll probably have time to make an adjustment before the shot. It has greatly increased my accuarcy because I have less to focus on. I am high on them, but will be quick to admit they lose a bit of their sparkle with a bow that isn't screaming.

    I bought a truglo range rover pro sight. No pin just a green dot that you can adjust the lumination making it apear to be larger or smaller, the yardage adjustments have been dead nuts. I love the field of view with the dot as apposed to the pin. Its not pretty, but the it works, yardage adjustments are easy with a thumb wheel on it. I think this is it but dont remember paying that much for it. http://www.eaglearchery.com/TruGlo-R...BHThoCetjw_wcB

    Sounds like you're a prime candidate for a single pin. It really does help accuracy when your eye only has to focus 1 pin. I do not think you'll regret making the switch. Start off with an HHA. They are bomb proof, ultra bright, simple to use, and can be found for reasonable prices on line. I shot one for a while then got into an accutouch because I liked the click feature it offers. As bows keep getting faster you will see more guys going to 1 pin.

    So in researching HHA you set the single pin in an optimal range say 34 yards… Then you have to options you either use the slider to set an exact range or you know from memory that you are 1.1 inches high at 20 or 3.7 inches low at 40 from the optimal setting is that right ?

    I have had them all. Single pin sliders, fixed single pin, fixed multiple pins, slider multiple pins. There all good, its just what you like, If I had all the money in the world I would have 2 bows. A target bow to shoot in the yard and to stretch it out with a single .10 slider sight. My other bow would be a single pin fixed with a .29 and a big ol peep. I never shoot over 30 in the woods and most my shots are at low light.


    Another thing you don't hear many folks say is the weight of sliders. Every one of them are heavy. It is why I always go back to a single pin fixed sight. Which is nothing more than an older Black Gold 5 pin sight I took all the other pins out of.

    Sword is another good one. All these rednecks know is HHA.

    All my pins looked like a big blob to me when I was under pressure shooting at a deer so I took em all off except my 20yd pin. I just aim a little high depending on the range out to 40yds.

    I prefer 3 fixed 0.10 pins. I have used an adjustable sight but went back to fix. I prefer gap shooting so I am not trying to force the pin on the spot I am trying to hit.
