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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
