i have 3 pins 0-30 yards for the first pin, 95% of my shots. then a 40 and 50 yard pin, the 50 i have never used on a animal in 17years or so of bowhunting. and the 40 i have used a couple of times just for a reference.
with only one pin out to 30 yards it makes it easy for the shot, no room for error by choosing the wrong pin.

i have it zeroed at 30 and aim low at 20 by about 6 inches or so which is still in the kill zone, at 20 yards no animal will ever walk away from me if i choose to take it unless i hit a stick or some other object i do not see. after as many years of bowhunting as i have done it makes no sense to me to have a pin less than 30 yards.
it works for me and always will, so therefore i wont change it.
dont get me wrong ...whatever works ....
I was curious to alot of peoples thinking to use 1 pin ... I hear this all the time .... In fact now the new PSE commercial advertises this ...and I hate it ...because it makes nebies think that the bow shoots flat out that far ... when in fact its not the case

my first pin is zero @ 25 yrds then 30, 40, 50 ,60. is it better to have pins 5 or 10 yards apart. Im pretty consistant at the range 0- 60 yards at a 6 inch pie plate (styrofoam). but resently missed 2 does (one over and one under) that were around 40 yrds. one shot was flat the other was a slight downward angle. (no rangefinder yet waiting for santa haha lol). i guess it depends on the arc of my arrow?
My target bow has one pin (Deitlef Advantage with Extreme scope and up pin)
and my hunting set up has 5 pins 20 -60yds (spott hogg)

i have a spott-hogg 7 deadly pins customized with .019 pins for 20,30,40,50 yrds and .010 pins for 60,70 80 yrds. i found at longer ranges the .019 pin blurred out to much area of the kill zone.
although i have yet to use my 70 and 80 yrd pins on an animal i do practice enough to be consistantly hitting a 6 inch group at those yardages.i have only once used my 60 when i took a 4pt muley at 57 yrds through the alders.
