7 pin fixed - 5 fixed bow hunting

mata · Sep 3, 2024

Joe2cool brought up fix pin versus slider. I did comment on it, but it got me thinking. I’ve always shot 5 pin fixed “over 20 years in fact” and it works great for me at 30,40,50,60,70 70lb 30”draw, I wouldn’t mind trying out the seven pin fix or even or even re visit some sliders for fun,
Question : if your running a 7pin fixed on your hunting rig do you find it crowded in your sight housing?? Let me kno your thoughts on this. Mata

I love the 7. Shot it for years and years. Never had a problem with to much crowd. I can see just fine

I prefer 7. Less guessing between pins for me.

For those running a 7 pin, what brand and model do you like best? And at what yardage do you set your pins at?
Thanks

I run an IQ sight that I bought on sale many years ago. They're now owned by FeraDyne, which has ZERO customer service, so I don't think I'd recommend them. Too bad. I really like the sight.
Mine are set 20,30,40,50,60,70,75.

I only use 4 pins
30 and shorter, aim a couple inches low if he's close.
40
50
60
Too much can happen to shots over 60, I'll only shot 60 if I'm totally undetected and critter presents himself perfectly. Just my 2 cents .
I do practice out to 80 just to hone my skills on those 60 shots.

I do a lot of “gap shots” I get it.

Same for shots under 30 yards

Curious.. why only 5 extra yards on your last pin?
