Thinking of a new Bow sight?


Recommended Posts

I have a question regarding sights. I currently have a HHA single movable pin sight. All I ever hunt is whitetails, and I have had good luck with this sight. I guess I am just thinking about trying something a little different and I know a lot of people (including my Brother) are strong advocates of multiple pins. I am just curious what you guys would recommend. Like I said it isn't that I need a new sight, but if I am going to try something new it is a good time as I am done chasing deer. I can see the benefits of not having to adjust the yardage, but I also like not having to remember which pin.

For those that use Multiple pins how many do you go with? What colors? What Diameter? I shoot a Pro 38 Bow Tec so it spits the arrows out pretty good. Thanks for any feedback or suggestions.

for hunting I have mine set at 20-30-40 yards. I add a 50 and 60 if shooting outdoors in the summer at 3D and stuff. you will have to look at the size 19 and size 29 fiber optic to see which you like better. I prefer the smaller diameter outside cuz my eyes are getting older. Inside the larger works better. Lots of practice and you'll get use to which pin for the deer that's standing in front of you. red, green, yellow is a good set up red being 20 and so on. hope this helps a bit and have fun.

i got 4 pins, 10, 20, 30 ,40. green yellow, red, green. dont like my sight its the size 19 (if i remember correctly) and the pins dont give off light very well. not a sight to hunt late with. i have heard that the pins that are wrapped or have lots of fiber optic makes a world of difference. i am also thinking of switching. my pins get too dull and i cant even see them when legal shooting time rolls around. anyone have any advice on a 3/4 pin sight that gives off a good "glow" at low light?

Two pins is a good options with a fast bow like yours - set em at 25 and 35 yards. You will have to aim a bit low for real close shots. I've found green to be the brightest color and I put that for 25. If you use a peep, choose a sight with a round guard. I've shot 1,3, and 4 pins before and like two the best so far.

If you hunt from a tree stand much at all I highly recommend a good pendulum sight. I have used a Predator IV pendulum sight for 3 years now and I will never go back to a fixed pin sight. With the pendulum sight you don't have to worry about yardage anymore. When you are hunting from the ground it is just like having a single pin sight.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
