Just curious on what some opinions are on this. I recently sighted in the Hoyt Vector Turbo I picked up from ChoiceGuy, and I ran into trouble. 4 pin sight, and the 25, 35, and 45 yd pins are so close that I'm having trouble even seeing the target past 40 yds, so I never even set the last pin. I was thinking about only using 2 pins, maybe 25 and 40 or 30 and 45, and then aiming an inch or two high or low to compensate. I've never had a bow this fast, so my past 3-5 pin sights have always had enough spacing to still let me see the target. I'm not buying a new sight, going to a single pin, etc. for this year. I just want to finish the season with what I've got and am curious to hear what others have done in the same situation.

Set a 25 and 40.

I have my pins set at 30, 40, 50, and 60 yards. I don't have any problem seeing the target. My top pin is good from 0-30 yards with no hold over/under. My last bow was much slower, so my pins were set at 20, 30, 40, 50.


83% of all statistics are made up.

As previously stated, I'm not getting a new sight right now. I will probably be going to a single pin slider next year

I have the same bow , I sight 1 pin at 30 yds and that's it, 2" high at 20 and 4" low at 40.
Equates to armpit at 20, dead on at 30, top of shoulder at 40. Very simple and very easy to see in low light

Can't you move the sight away from the bow?
