Multipin or slider for elk

[87TT]

1 5 7 whatever works for you. Just should be a slider for long range practice and fine tuning. I just like the 5 pin as the "clutter" doesn't bother me and it helps me center faster. Just me but what ever works best for you.

I wondered about a 3pin slider with the middle pin as slider sighted at 50 with top at 20 and bottom at 60. Aim 12" low with the slider for ranges 25-45 if no time to move it and you still have 20 and 60 hardset pins for quick shots. All pins vertical like trophy ridge v5 sights. That way only a single post in the sight picture. Not sure how to move just the center pin and not the entire housing. Just a thought and not sure it's practical.

5 pin slider for me, my buddy that comes up from PA to hunt with me has missed out on a couple of opportunities due to shooting a single pin. Elk just move too much and too quick IMO, I would rather have the extra pins there for when I need to make a quick adjustment than holding over and under for shots. I love shooting long-range also so I use my 60 and can shoot out past 120 which is fun and great practice. I had to make a follow-up shot on a bull this year and used the slider to adjust to the exact yardage and was able to connect on that shot. I most likely would have air-balled it without the slider trying to hold over him.

I shoot almost everyday unless it's snowing hard or raining hard. First 5 arrows are 100 yards then down to 60 and below.

After reading another roksliders comment i might toy with adding a bright drop of paint or what ever to my double pin to keep a clear bview but add in aiming references. Might be the best of both worlds for the guys worried about a cluttered view but want that quicker and accurate adjustment when animals run out a little farther after drawing

I'm thinking of switching to the MBG Mountain Lite 3 pin this year (from a MBG ascent verdict).

I'll probably play with setting it up at 30, 40, 50 but with the indicators being for the top and bottom pin. Set it up so I can slide it up to 20 and use the top pin or slide down to who knows where and use the bottom pin. I doubt I'd ever need to slide it up to 20 but I'd have the option without having the extra pin.

I'm using a 3-pin slider and really like it. I could see a 5-pin for Elk/Mule Deer. Probably never have to touch it, but the option is there. The three pin is a little less cluttered and retains the option for dialing long. Personal choice really.

I have used 1 pin for the last ten or more years. Once my bows got over 300 feet per second pin gap was a factor. Plus, my eyes started to get reading glasses bad, so pins turned into a big mass of blur. Now I have gone to a verifier peep and cleaned up the blur. I bought a 3 pin head for my HHA slider and I am going to try that this year.

If an animal comes in to 25 yards, winds you, jumps up the hill 20 yards and turns back to take a look, that shot just became a 45 yard shot. Now you’ve got to make some quick judgement on how much higher to hold your single pin, rather than relying on the 40 or 50 pin which are tuned and readily available at full draw.

This is exactly my opinion

I have hunted with a 1-pin for years now. Tried to go back to multi pins, can’t do it. I haven’t been burned cause of it yet. The day May come. Til then though, it’s the single slider for me

I have been all over the board over the years. right now, on my compound, I have a 3 pin mbg slider, and it's the most practical configuration I have personally shot.

I have my 3 hunting pins (20-40) and the ability to shoot 80yds for practice (heavy arrows give me clearance to 80, which is fine with me)

I have got by fine over the years with 4&5 pin fixed, but I do like having the ability to shoot further for fun or a follow up shot. 3 pin slider is intuitive for me.

the option sight looks to be best case scenario, but I don't know I will ditch my black gold to get one. I like what I have now enough

I like a mbg ascent 4 pin slider for 20 to 50 yards. The bottom pin is a smaller diameter (.010). I rarely shoot over 50 yards when hunting but like the ability to practice out to 100 yards. Makes those 50 to 60 yard shots seem easy. I have always been afraid I'll forget to adjust a single pin or wont have time.
