Is a three pin fixed sight enough for elk?

Anyone hunt elk with a three pin fixed (non sliding) sight? Like a 25, 40, 50 or 30, 40, 50 pin gap setup…
Last two years I’ve had a fall that have messed up some minor things on my MBG three pin slider (broke the plastic cover on the top of the sight that covers the fibers).
I have a Spot Hogg Grinder 3 pin on my backup bow that is way more rugged than the MBG… I’m kicking around going back to that honestly…
With my shooting ability 60 yards is my max in field range on game…
 
More than enough in my opinion in most elk areas. I can’t speak for everyone, but I bet more elk are killed with the top pin, than the third pin.

I hunt with a 5 pin fixed pin, spot hog. The 50 and 60 are never used.

Close range shots on elk = short recoveries.
 
I hunt with one single vertical pin so 3 fixed shouldn’t be an issue for you. I would go 30-40-50. You can pretty
Much aim right at them from 30 all the way down to 10. In thicker areas you won’t get a 40 or 50 yd shot.
