Best video I’ve seen in this so far! Today I thought I had an idea of what to do, and I ended up making the pins look like a jack-o’-lantern’s teeth! Haha Now I can get them back arrange logically and try to fine again tomorrow! My plan is to set the 5 pins to 20 through 60, and then use the wheel calibration tape to make my top pin the floater. I figure then the top wheel adjustments can represent the sub-20 yardages, and then transition to plus-60 yard marks at the bottom. Thanks for this!
Thank you. I can adjust 1st, 3rd, and 5th pin this way but not the 2nd or 4th. Any idea why? The screws are recessed so I can’t tell what’s happening but turning them seems to have no affect on the pins. Would appreciate any thoughts.
thank you for this video I was trying to figure it out before I mess with my sights if it was going to be easy to lose the pin or if it would change everything now i know
Hey there! Unfortunately, no, I don't have a single pin setup video. Haven't had a chance to play with the single pin version yet. Thanks for watching!
I can't seem to find the size of the Allen wrench, but it' looks to be a 1/16. It's a size smaller than a 5/64, but the .05 I've got that is labeled is too small. Only one in between them is the 1/16th. The 1.5mm is too small, and the 2mm is too big on the metric side. So, should be the 1/16th. 😁
Great video! I switched from a single pin housing to the 5 pin housing and I used to be able to adjust left to right with the micro windage knob! Can you do that with the 5 pin housing? Thanks!
Thank you and thanks for watching! Yes, you absolutely still have that left/right windage adjustment with the 3 and 5 pin housings. The left/right adjustment on the individual pins is just to make sure each pin is vertically aligned with the wire and centered within the sight housing.
Hey there! You can set it up however you want, but I don't believe they are meant to be over the wire. I want to be able to see my pins personally. Thanks for watching!
Great video, thank you. My question is what is the starting point for the entire housing prior to sighting the individual pins? Seems like you started about the midpoint the gear/scale. But, nobody seems to talk about that..... Thanks.
Great question and thanks for asking! There really isn't a "right" answer to that, but yeah, the mid point is a good place to start. You can always move the whole housing and/or the vertical slide later and your pins would still be gapped correctly. Thanks for watching!
@@BackwoodsPursuit OK, follow up. Do you set the tape first, or do you set the individual pins first? Seems like I have to get that 20 yard pin in the right place by moving the entire housing first. then set the tape. Once that is approximately in the right zone, it can't move much or it throws everything off. I am guessing that by setting the tape first, you always know where to bring the 20 yards pin pack to. Make sense? Thanks for your time.
@@kenhoffman3393 you can do it either way, but I found it worked best start with making sure the pins are where you want them inside the housing, then set the 20yd pin first using the knob to make sure your vertical movement is going to give you the clearances you need. There's a lot of ways to do it of course because you have 3 different things that adjust the elevation (pins, housing and knob adjustments) and they all affect each other. Does that help?
I have a question. When should the individual pin adjustments be made (vertically)? After sighting in (at 20yds) and setting up my site tape? I don't understand. If I am using the dial to site in and set for 20 (or 30.or whatever distance) why would I move the pins. I have a 3 pin horizontal mount sight. I wish I could move the pins to unclutter my sight window between 20, 30 and 40 but isn't that all relative to bow speed, arrows, draw weight etc?. Please help I can't wrap my head around the abundance of adjustment options/capabilities.
Hey there Jim! I hear ya...it can be kinda hard to get the hang of at first! The pins and sight tape setting processes are separate. You can do either one first, but the pins adjustment doesn't affect the sight tape selection. The sight tape selection only affects things when you love the whole housing using the big wheel. Does that make sense? Thanks for watching!
So if I had the 3 Pin Fast Eddie, could I have top 2 pins fixed at 20 and 30 yards and have the bottom 3rd pin start at 40 yards and use the bottom on from 40 yards +?
Is this the same set up and adjustment style for the 3 pin housing? Also can you remove a pin if you dont want a full 5 pin? Im looking to buy one but I would prefer a 4 pin.
If you are running out of room inside your sight housing, you'll need to move your entire housing down using the Allen screw ( not the yardage knob) and start over sighting in your pins. Something I like to do is set my top pin where I want it inside my housing, then sight in that top pin by move my whole housing. Once the top pin is sighted in, work out to the 60yd pin and make sure I've got the bubble clearance. You can also do the same thing by starting with sighting in your 60yd pin (first move you 60yd pin where you want it inside your housing), and then sight that one in using the whole sight housing adjustment. That should take care of the issue for you. Try either of those methods and let me know if that helps! Thanks for watching!
Great question! There's not a really "right" for it to be, but your bow setup will determine part of it. If you prefer your slide in a certain place for your zero, you can move the housing or vise versa to some degree. There's a ton of adjustment on both of them!
For the life of me I cannot remember how to dial in my pins once I have moved them individually 5 pin fast eddie sighted in and my individual pins are way off 20,30,40,50 5th pin is my rover that is set at 60 and is dead on throught out to the higher yardage.
Yeah, it can be a bit challenging! Here's another video I put together on how to get the tape dialed in. Between these two, you should be able to get all set up! ua-cam.com/video/GpBEnZ3RiMo/v-deo.html
@@BackwoodsPursuit Yes, I did exactly what you did bottom is set to 60.So now leaving that at the 60 mark my top pin is supposed to be 20 right?so I shot with the top pin at 20 and low and be hold my arrow was 12" high
@@michaelharrison1152 yeah, once you get the sight tape set, you'll have to go through and adjust each individual pin (except the 60yd pin) to get them dialed in.
@@michaelharrison1152 good deal! Yeah, depending on your setup, sometimes you have to move the housing down or up a notch. Glad you got it figured out!
I think I need to start completely over sighting in my 3 pin Tommy Hogg, What do I need to do? I am completely out of Right adjustment. And I haven't micro adjusted Any Pins yet. i just adjusted using the main adjustments that move everything and not the Micro adjustments I need to start over.
Hey there! Take a look at this video and see if your Tommy Hogg has the little bracket that can be flipped around like I show in this video. If so, that's how you'll get that corrected. Let me know! Thanks. ua-cam.com/video/_Mwv0g5bUlo/v-deo.html

Hey quick question. Should you select your sight tape and then adjust your pins? Or adjust your pins and then do the sight tape? Thanks
Hey there! You can do it either way. One doesn't affect the other. Thanks for watching!
Appreciate the quick response. Love the videos.
@christopherlajoie2974 absolutely! Glad the videos have been helpful.
So after you listen the top one and move the bottom one do you go back and tighten top one back up after you make adjustments
Hey there! Yeah I believe you'll want to go back and tighten the top one to snug it up once it's set. Thanks for watching!
@@BackwoodsPursuit aweosme thank you for all your help!

Jux bought one so when sight it for 20 -60 yard do u have to adjust any of those pin or touch any of the pin up or down or leaved it like that.

Yeah Yeah, the 3 pin should be the same process. Don't think you can remove a pin, but you can order a custom 4 pin. Thank for watching!
Whats your thoughts if you are out of room on your 5th-60 yard pin, as far as it being way too low and close to your bubble.
If you are running out of room inside your sight housing, you'll need to move your entire housing down using the Allen screw ( not the yardage knob) and start over sighting in your pins.
