I went with 1 pin set at 20 yards as I recall. My last yard the max distance was 25 yards & I had no trouble hitting squirrels raiding my garden from 10-20 yards. A bunch of pins piled one on top of the other for every 10 yards was confusing. I like to keep things simple and do as little thinking as possible, especially in a hunting situation, + my shots were never 30 yards (most much less). Bows keep getting faster & flatter shooting, so 2 pins one at 20 & 1 at 40 with a little holdover as needed should cover a lot of ground. Lots of new sights have come along since I sold my bow also.

I also use 2 pins 1 @ 20 yards, and 1 @ 40 yards and beyond(if that ever happens)less confusion when deer are in bow range.

My first bow was a slider never moved it. if you shoot enough you will know were to put the single pin. Like now just ugraded for my vision to a 50mm red dot sight.

Ted can you post what reddot sight you got? I am considering one. Looks like truglo makes a decent one for around $100
