    My target bow has 1 pin...it's got a Sur Loc Supreme in it.

    My hunting bow has 5 pins, set from 10 yds to 50 yards.

    5 pins 20-60. For a 60 yarder I feel very confident but everything has to be perfect.

    3 pins set at 20, 30 and 40 yards. Mostly i just use the 20 yard pin for hunting. Since my self limited distance is 25 to 30 yards I can hold the 20 yard pin from point blank to 25 yards.

    I use 3; 20, 30 and 45 yards.... Only because I bought the 3 pin TR matrix not knowing it was the same housing as the 5 pin with 2 pins removed... If I had known, I would have just bought the 5 pin...

    But comes in handy for coyotes!


    I've got 7 but don't intend to use more than 3 for a hunting situation.
    I only have one setup for hunting and the little 3-D that I do.
