I have a five pin sight and want to stretch it out to 90=100 yards. My setup shoots 290+. How are you guys setting up 5 pin sights to get max distance?

I dont like single pin sights. right now I go 30,40,50,60,70. Wondering if 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 is to extremem?
They make sliders now with multiple pins, and then typically guys will use the lowest pin as the slider for longer distances. I think I am going to go that route eventually but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Just shoot it and see what you get. Hell, you got some major major practicing to do if you are contemplating flinging arrows at animals those kinda distances anyway. With my setup, 15 yards amounts to a vertical difference of at least 18-24 inches at longer ranges, so you would have to compensate by aiming high when the distance is between pins.
Without going to the multi pin slider route this is your best bet. You'd need to go with the oblong housing but it should get you out to 100+ yards. I'm using an Option 6 with the 8 pin (oblong) housing on my Perfexion and the sight tape on it now get's me out to 110 yards, and yes I've practiced with it that far out. My elk shot's haven't been any further than 35 yards on elk but I enjoy practicing at long range because it shows flaws in my form. It's a spendy sight but combines the features of my Armortech sight and HHA sight that I use on other bows without needing two different sights or creating clearance issues with vanes for the long shots.The Option sights that Dan Evans makes are the best of both worlds. I like it better than anything I've ever used.
