Single pin Optimizer

[ivorytip]

I decided to see what the hype was about and picked this up today to check it out. Can you believe that between cabelas and sportsmen's that this was the only single pin on the shelf?? I can try for 30 days then take back for upgrade if wanted. Anyone have this one? Likes?

Don't have that particular sight. But once you get yardages set it will make life easy. If it doesn't come with pre printed tapes just try one of the online programs

There are pre printed yrd stickers in it. I was being stupid and nailed the wall! thankfully I didn't hit a stud! Yes I know, don't play with bow in the house

I have a really old version of that model on my switchback xt, and have the ultra on my heli-m. Love both, the wheel on the ultra or the kingpin is easier to adjust the yardage on quickly, but the slider is not a big hindrance on the lite. When hunting I keep the knob untightened, which can generate some shot noise, but not too bad. Here in the Midwest I generally have it set at 20 or 30 and keep it there. Usually spur of the moment shots are close in the woods and longer shots develop more slowly, and there's time to range and dial, which is easier on the ultra.

i took it to the range, as to not shoot any more holes in my wall... pretty slick sight. I'm not sure how they all work but this one had a sticker I put on face by slider, with numbers on it. sight in at 20/write number that pin is on. sight in at 60/write pin number down then minus small number from larger number, I got 42. then I selected the pre printed sticker 42 and stuck it on the face with 60 yrds lined up with 60 yard pin and done! 20-30-40-50-60 all lined up. then I hit the course and I'm impressed, will take some getting use to sliding nob but I love how it took the guess work out of odd numbers. 53 yards? ok. loving it. I like the advice given at keeping it at 30 and get use to shooting 20-40 with that for those fast no time to think shots. is way nice not seeing 5 diff pins and making a mental note to use right one.

I have this in the HHA King Pin and love it. Will never go back to multi pin setup.
I'm deadly to 100yds. and practice to 150yds popping ballons. Its a blast and great way to impress your friends. lol

I need a faster bow

How fast is your current setup? Did you chonograph it?

I have an HAHA sight but it isn't easily adjustable. Thinking of trying a combo of "trick pin" for under 40 and marks for longer shots.

I'm not sure how fast its at. My PSE broke last year right before the season so bought a cheap bear attitude bow. Been an awesome bow too! Its set at 70 with 28" draw. I imagine right around 300?

 

[Horsenhike]

Probably so. My PSE should be around that, but my single pin is on my Diamond bow which I think is much slower.

Want to put it on my PSE. Wonder what inexpensive chronograph is the best value. Anybody have ideas?

They come cheap for > $200 and are reliable.

We ate having a shoot at local archery range this weekend. They always have one set up, I'm going to check it out. Would be nice to know

 

[Horsenhike]

Look at that. Caldwell makes one for under $100 that gets good reviews.

Be nice to have for all of our stuff.
