Multi Pin Sight Setup for Elk

[2Stamp]

Great thread - I’ve been debating how many pins. I recently picked up a 3 pin BG ascent verdict but haven’t had a chance to use it much yet. Switching over from a 5 pin fixed sight I’ve used for year.

I’ve been thinking 30/40/50 for pin placement but I’m curious to see how that performs/where to hold for shots at 20 or less.

Has anyone here modified a BG sight by adding a 4th pin? Would that affect the bottom floater pin?

The only way to truly answer that question is to use your 30yd, start at 10 yds shooting the same spot and work back, looking at the arrow trajectory. Figure out if it'll work for you

I also use a 30, 40, 50, so on. The difference for me from 20-30yds was 1.75". Shot a lion last year at somewhere between 12-14 yds; held the 30 pin right where I wanted the arrow to go.

I had a BG 5 pin I just pulled a pin out of to make it a 4.

I used a 3 pin slider for about a year and really liked it! The open sight picture was nice! However, not having a 50 yard pin bothered me and went back to a 5 pin slider.

If money wasn’t an option I would have a bow set up for tree stand/turkey hunting with a 3 pin slider and a 4/5 pin slider for elk.

Good feedback - I’ll do the shot exercise and see how it shakes out. Thank yoy
