30-40-50-60-70

20-30-40-50-60, and My 50 pin is my slider pin. I’m good as low as 26 with it, and as high as 100. On targets. Don’t usually move the sight when hunting though. Just for 3D shoots.

sights WHAT sights???
 

I set mine by instinct lol, did the compound went back trad never again to the masses of commercial shooting lol, but when I did I had just the pegs and they were at 15, 20, 25,35,and 40, I know I could of shot much farther but hey I am old school.

20 - 30 - 40 - 50 - 60

On my old school SpottHogg Hunter

I should have mentioned though that I can stretch it (and have) out to 100 yards while practicing..... Using the combination of the 80 & 60 yard pins...

30-40-50-60-70-80-90 with a 7 pin IQ sight fun to practice the longer distances

20-30-40-50-60. Montana black gold sight.

Last 3 animals at 7 yards, 11 yards, and 14 yards. Still enjoying watching an arrow fly to a 60 yard target though.

25-35-45-55-65-75-85
Hogg it 7 pin

Then I glue A small piece of fibre optic right on the outside bottom of the sight houseing it’s usulay like 120 yards depending on the weight of arrows I am shooting and I use that pin for a backup incase a animal has an arrow in it already and stands and looks at me.

I just finished sighting in yesterday.

20-30-40-50-60

I have never harvested an animal past 20 yards yet but it's nice to have the option to. Its actually fun to fling arrows at 60 yards.

20-40-60-80-100-115 .... and no I don’t shoot that far hunting I just enjoy shooting foam that far

20-30-40-50-60

IQ 5 pin, I also have not shot an animal past 20 with the bow.

single pin adjustable from 20-100m

5 pin spothogg

25-35-45-55-65

I added a pin to my Black Gold Ascent Verdict to make it a 4 pin. My pins are at 20-30-40-50 with my 20 being my slider. I can still shoot 100 yards with it but I should've used my 50 as my slide. The vanes would be further away from the sight housing at the longer distances.

I wanted to able to shoot longer distance just for practice. Shoot at 80 to become a lot more proficient at 40.

20-30-40-50-60-70-80 7 pin. My last pin is pretty useless with heavier arrows and 60lb draw. I’ve never shot an animal past 20 yards yet.

Thanks for all the input!
 

Looks I will be setting up for 20-30-40-50 for now

20-30-40-50, all greens. .19 for the first three and .10 for the 50 (which is also my slider). I'm relatively new to all of this so take it for what it's worth!

single pin Spot Hogg Fast Eddie, tape is set from 10-80

I set mine at 20-40-60 .. surprised nobody else does .. you can see way more in low light situations .. not just pins .. and for 30 or 50 yard shots I just put aim in between the pins.. took some practice but is much nicer to shoot IMO

20-30-40-50-60

Graduated pin sizes: 0.029-0.019-0.019-0.010-0.010

All green on a dial that will go out to 120yards.

MBG widow maker 5 pin in a 2" housing... but I added a 6th to get me out to 70 yards. 20-30-40-50-60-70. That is also the max ranging abilities of my Leupold Vendetta, so it works well.

20-40-60-80 ....its set, but now ive lost my range finder. It got left on tractor tire then someone scooped it up they must of seen it from the road... never found out tell the next day. Now i have to by a new one now... who's got one for sale

20 yard gaps between pins are quite huge! I don’t think I could compensate for those types of distances past 40 accurately and I have shot pins for a long time.

It took some getting used to but I find it helps me .. my vision in low light isn’t as good as it once was and find it’s very beneficial to have that extra gap

I tend not to shoot at animals past 50 yards either

Same here, shot many critters with the bow over the years and not a single one over 50 yards. Furthest I estimated at 45yards. IMO there are too many factors that can cause a miss at 60+ that are out of the shooters control. Wind gusts, or the animal moving prior to contact.
