Just got back from a successful pronghorn archery hunt. Shooting a PSE Drive 3B XL, 60lbs, 28" Draw, Shooting a relatively light arrow, no crazy FOC. Last year I was unsuccessful based on lack of distance with a heavier arrow, insert and point with the same bow, my arch with a 5 pin sight could barely get 60 yards. This years setup I used my first pin for 30 and pushed the last pin to 70, and was making reliable shots out to 80 with slight hold over.
Success on my spot and stalk ended with a perfect shot at 78 yards. I am using a budget friendly CBE Tactic Micro and the 0.019" pins are tricky past 60, and there is close to 1/2" of room between the top of the fletching and the bottom of the housing.
my goal is to be able to practice 100. Mostly for fun, but also it would be nice to have a pin for 80 for comfortable hunting shots.
Big concern is that it seems like you can get a quality 5 pin fixed sight for low investment, but sliders price point seem to start way higher than what I was planning to spend on.
Also, has anyone regretted moving to a slider? or felt like it hindered them in hunting scenarios. I have never done a 3D shoot, but it is something my wife has wanted to do for a while, so it looks like we'll get into eventually.
