I'm a Spott Hogg fan because they're bullet proof from what I've seen, I'm a fan of the vertical wire for pin alignment and they have individual left and right adj for each pin. As far as single vs multiple pin, you should probably shoot around and see what you prefer. Most people I know shooting a 1 pin eventually get burned by the deer moving to a range there pin is not set to and they have to aim off and make a poor shot. I also run into people though who use the wrong pin on a multi pin and miss too. I think it comes down to practice and confidence in a setup that works for you.

Currently using a 3 pin trophy ridge but I'm considering going back to a pendulum I have. I've shot both, I'm going to shoot a heavier arrow this year and I'm curious how bad that will affect arrow drop. Can anyone give me any info on this?

I don't know. But aren't pendulums old school when everybody was shooting heavy aluminum arrows? You may have to limit to closer shots.

I used a 5 pin sword for years. Great, tough sights but I wanted to go to single pin to clear the clutter. I bought a montana black gold single slider and loved it. Used that for a couple years then I got burned because of the single pin on 2 very nice 130 ish bucks. It was one of those rare days, early November, had 6 bucks chasing a doe hot and heavy . I was setup on a island of willow and they kept circling me dogging her, I'd get it set for 25 and then theyd bounce out a different trail and theyd come by at 45 and vice versa. This went on for 15 minutes or so and I finally did get a shot at 25 at the 3rd biggest so I cant complain to much. Next year I switched to a spot Hogg fast Eddie double pin and I love it. 2 pins adjustable, when my top pin is set at 20 my bottom pin is set to 36 yards. Need to I can adjust but that range works in nearly all my spots. The sight is built like a tank, but is heavy. I'm really contemplating buying an ezv and giving it a chance over the summer.

EZV Bow sight game changer. I have not brought a range finder to the woods in 3 years.
