Last archery season my friend and I were in hudson hope and we were waiting for a group of bucks to come close enough. he liked the idea of a single pin and I really dont. finally three bucks came within 12 yards and he drew back and missed it because in all the excitement his pin was set at 30 yards. I would really recomend using pins from 20-60 yards at in 10 yard incriments. have them colour coded and get used to it. if you only want to shoot close then one of two pins is fine but I have shot alot of animals at around 40 yards and I would reccomend practising at far distances. but lets face it you have to be accurate and having a pin for different yards is much more ethical when buck fever gets you going!
just my thoughts though
