Single pin guys

How do you set your slider up? This is my first year with a single pin. I assume with a slow deer feeding will leave enough time to be ranged and adjust accordingly. What about a running or trotting deer?

I set mine for 25 yards. That way I'm good from 0 to 30 yards. Last nites doe was 35 and I figured the trail she was on she wasn't coming closer so I quick bumped it up to 35, mouth urpped her to a stop at 35, held on her and blew thru her. If it happens quick I leave it at 25 and compensate either high or a fuzz low if real close.

I lead the running deer quite a bit....

Do you pre range to know your max with it set to 25 without moving it?

Personally for me, its tough. I had an encounter last weekend where a doe came in broadside 30 yards away and saw my movement as i adjusted my slider to 30. I had to let her pass after she got 15 yards to investigate me and walked away into thick cover out of my shooting lane. Situation will always dictate if you can adjust your slider without the deer busting you. If the deer is coming my way, no need to adjust beyond 20, let it get close for a good shot. You can guesstimate too without moving the slider to a certain yardage, but that is a risk not worth taking in my opinion. Shooting at a deer moving a good pace with a bow is a no go for me.

I use a single pin. (non slider sight). I shoot to 40 with it and have no problems. practice and know what your equipment can do.

Great advise.

I use a Black an Gold sight with one pin. I am dead on at to about 25 yards. From there out to 35 yards I know how much I need. After that 40 I could do also. But I don't like shooting past 30 for the most part. That is long shot to me in the woods.

Set it at 25. That covers me to 30. Longer range can be accomplished, but it all depends on feet per second and arrow length. 25 and practice to know where you are hitting further out.

Pre-range all of the trails within the vicinity of your stand. Set the slider to the more obvious closer trails. Only adjust on farther shots where your movement won't be picked up. I very rarely move mine from the 20 location...From 10-30 yards you can usually aim high or low in a pinch.

"X2" I also switched to a single pin. Set mine at 20 yards, at 25-26 yards I aim at the spine and put em in the boiler room...

I also leave mine set at 25. I do not hold low at all for shots less than 25 (missed a buck because I held low once). At 30 yards my arrows land only two inches low so i am still ok with holding the pin dead on. I also use the rangefinder in the stand and memorize yardages of different trees or landmarks. Helps keep you alert and focused for a while, thinking about the different yardages.

Yep ,what Brian said. Shoot enough to know where your arrow flies at every distance you are comfortable with.
