I WOULD SAY BOTH!TAKES BOTH THINGS TO MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN.

Focus on what you want to hit and let the pin float in your peripheral vision.

I focus on the pin. Similar to handgun shooting where you focus on the front sight and the target is slightly blurred in the background.

I'm with Ed on this one, focus on the pin. Of course, I'm a handgun guy and have learned to shoot off the front sight.

This has definitely been discussed here before.....here's the link:

Here's also the direct link from the US Olympic archery coach on this exact topic. He teaches your focus should be on the target. Refer to question #26 on this link. Hope it helps.

I look at the target, quick glance to make sure I got the correct pin, then all periphreal when looking back at the target with your focus. Concentrate, let pin float, hold breath, release. X-ring!(Most of the time anyways- LOL!)

That is the beauty of a single pin sight, set it and you don't have to worry about using the wrong pin. That and I get confused looking at multiple pins

The K.I.S.S. Method (Keep It Simple Stupid) - Nice! I guess if you are used to shooting open sights on a rifle, that should be no problem, just gotta be good at guessing yardages.

Out of curiosity, what do you set your pin yardage wise? 30 Yards?
