- I hear it all the time ... "I love a single-pin sight but am scared to hunt with one. What if a buck is at 20 yards and runs to 32 yards?" The truth is, if you have intimate knowledge of your equipment and understand your sight's features and functions, a single-pin can be used for any bowhunting situation. Check it out!
You still have to pick the right dot........ It is simply a vertical multi-pin sight.
Switching to a single pin sight was the best thing I ever did it made me a way better shooter I'll never go back to a multi pin sight.
I shot for years with just one fixed pin. I shot so much that I basically combined some of my instinctive shooting to the one pin. I sighted it in at 25 yards and just floated the pin up and down, using my brain to tell when it was good. I shot extremely well this way with no issues. But my background also included shooting longbows and recurves totally instinctive, no gap or using the tip etc. I also shot compounds instinctive as well, especially the Oneidas. yes, shot 3 D competition with it and did very well. The human brain is very awesome when you let it be and don't argue with it and then it is practice, practice.
I just installed my single pin and I have it set at like 27 yards. In close, pin dot low; out past 30, pin dot a little high. Windage is right on....I just have to practice and know my elevation. I have been practicing by just shooting each arrow at a different distance away. I don't count, just estimate and aim accordingly. I am getting pretty good at this. The multi pin sight I used to have on my bow messed with my eyes and I couldn't focus right. I was eventually pretty good with it, but never great. This single pin simplifies everything. I'm really liking it so far. That's what's great about compound bows...super customizable. Use what works best for you. Thanks for the video, Jace!
I switched to a single pin last year and i love it. for the same reasons having a bunch of pins clumped together is distracting when pursuing live game. however it is important to practice shooting at +/- yardage with the pin on one setting. example i set the pin at 30 yards and leave it, then i practice holds to hit at 20 or 40 yards with the pin still set for 30. this method works great for those deer that like to pop out from nowhere and there is no time to adjust the sight.
Great knowledge, appreciate your clear delivery and explanation.
The value of the single pin is when you can use a range finder to accurately determine your most probable shot clearing. Set the pin for that.
imo this is basically a vertical multi pin sight, even with a single dot sight you still have to adjust 10-20-30 yards before those shots manually, a multi pin site theyre already there lol only thing benifitial about this is the clear sight picture. I understand the pins are distracting to some but it still seems itd be better for targets over hunting.
I do the exact same thing with my SH Fast Eddie XL double pin sight. For a hunting sight it’s hard to beat!
Spott hogg double pin is also the only single pin sight with more than one reference. The sharpie mark will be difficult or impossible to see in poor lighting(primetime) plus having to remember the yardages for each reference is not worth it to me. But like you said, you have to know your sight and be comfortable. I personally feel most comfortable with a 3 pin slider because it's all I've shot the last 2 years. I don't find it difficult to remember 20 30 40 lol
I used to shoot single pin (unadjustable) in competitive 3-d tournaments. It just takes learning how to compensate for the distance you are estimating. The distances are not exact anyway. You should be able to keep it in a 5 inch group out to about 45-50 yds.
People dont get it a pin is the metal arm extended.Not how many dota you have
How well does that sharpie dot work at first and last light ?
Not really a single pin when it has two aiming points !
jason stebelton it’s a single up pin with two fiber optic heads. So yes it’s a single pin, but not a single pin with a single fiber optic head
@@NorthernMNbeard his point is that there's no purpose of it being a single if it's just being used as a multi pin.
Informative, but why not just have a vertical 3 pin sight? Same difference from what your doing
I run a movable single pin that I have yardages on from 20 to 60 yards and I can lock it down and unlock quickly.
My bow is pretty fast at 300 fps. With the pin at 25 yards, I can hold nearly dead on from 0 to 30 yards center of kill (arrow is within inches of hold, for a 30 yard shot I just hold top of the 10 ring). If the deer is past 30 yards, I have time to move the pin.
If I am set up where my max shot is 20 yards, then I set the pin to 20 yards. Walking around, I leave it at 25 yards.
This is the best set up I have ever used in several decades of bow hunting. I primarily hunt whitetails and have a 30 inch draw, so with a fast bow, it is easy to get 300 fps and still have plenty of penetration (frankly, I don't understand heavy arrows for deer unless you have a short draw or low draw weight and have to search for energy, my 400 grain arrows break bone easily). If you have a slower bow, then I don't think this set up would work as easily.

I run the same pin as you (Fast Eddie XL) on my Prime and love it but I'm a little confused that you say a multi pin sight bothers you but then you turned your slider into a fixed 4 pin...
I don't get it, it's still being used as a multi pin, it's just on a vertical stem instead. Still informative, I just don't see the benefit of a single if it's not a single.
Seems to me its more confusing. Having to remember certain points etc
Ahh I think your stabilizer on backwards
I'd say the real argument is, people need to practice more. Especially under stress
I would think if a three pin sight caused you anxiety, the method you are using now must be terrifying! You are using basically two pins plus a hand written pin and a bubble. Much more confusing than three factory pins. Just saying
i think so to
Exactly!
Good info....
Great video. Based on your setup do you recommend a dual pin bow sight over a single pin?
How well does that sharpie work when it’s last light or first light??
Nice shooting I only shoot single pin sight the up pin give better accuracy got 2 love prime bows change to prime 2018 logic love to shoot a ct5 are u use a cable driven test or limb driven anyway great video. 4 single pin shooters
So you actually have a multi pin sight duh
With a single post
so all you did was add more pins anyway with a sharpie!!! its not a single pin anymore.
Can you run a single pin sight to a recurve bow, or is more for a compound flat shooting bow?
Why is your stabilizer on back wards
Bugged me the whole video
You got two pins
Well there ya go..................
really, buddy! single pin my a$$
How about 26, 34, 47?
Great video! What release are you using? Thanks
loopmtz, I appreciate the positive feedback buddy! Hope all is well. I'm shooting the T.R.U. Ball HT hinge.
@@jacebauserman3612 Thank you.
So basically it is not a single pin sight.
You doing another broadhead review ? With bob Robb that was good hopefully you do and pick the swacker all steel broadhead
Not a single pin
What bino harness are you using in this video?
Is there and purpose of the way your stabilizer is threaded in?
Probably to counter balance against the forward weight of the sight.
What bono and rangefinder harness is that?
Were you using a prime bow?
So use a multi pin sight is what it boils down to lol
Cannot hear you...vol is turned all the way up
What brand of binocular harness is that?
Fhf gear
This is not actually a single pin
Single pin is something I've been wanting to try.. but why does multiple pins bother you..but multiple dots on one pin not? 🤷♂️
Hahaha your still using multiple pins.
If you all haven't seen a documentary called..... It's worse than you think.... Bye revelations of Jesus Christ ministries.... I suggest you do.... All praise and glory to the most high The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Ok so he’s using a single pin with multiple reference points. How in the world is that any different than four pins each with a single reference point? He even calls it a double pin sight at the end of the video.
I think he means the clutter on the right side of the sight window
I'd rather have a 4 pin sight with each pin spot on for its range. This is just a cludge.
So it went from a single pin with an adjustment wheel to a fixed four pin sight because you used a sharpie. Why not just buy four pin and practice.
Ok I’m still learning the nuances, but you have a dot for 20. You put a dot for 30, another dot for 36. That’s not a single pin at this point.
