I've always been a 3 pin sight guy. I still like them alot. I went to the single pin because I was gonna change to a brighter sight anyway. Also, most of my shots are 30 yds or less. I can set my dial on 30 yds and not have to fool with it. The 3 pin is handier to me for quick long shoots or deer walking or bouncing out a few yards while at full draw.

I switched to single pin this year with a tremendous amount of hesitation. However, throughout the summer as I was practicing, I was able to shoot out 40 yds easily without making any adjustments. I keep mine set on 27 yd and can shoot out to 33 by holding dead on. Anything over that, I would need to compensate some. I have been more than pleased with my purchase and will continue using single pin for quite some time. In your situation, the worst thing that could happen is that you purchase one and not like it and turn around and sell it here fairly quick!! Good luck with your decision.

Yep. If you buy a HHA sight and don't like it, you won't have any problems selling it.

I know my bow pretty well, I can Kentucky windage a shot from 24 yards to 40. It is not the end all be all, just whatever toots your horn I do like my HHA single pin very well. I shot this afternoon in the back yard and I always say I should have gotten his sooner

Next question... Your game is at 24yds, you draw and spook animal. He goes to 40yds and you make a noise and stop him, one small opening to shoot, what's your next move with the single pin sight? Aim for the top of the lungs. I've done it numerous times (not because I spooked them) and that's with a bow shooting 255 to 260fps.

No one has said this yet but it comes to mind for me. Though I have never been elk hunting, I would think the shear size of the animal would easily allow you to Kentucky windage one. I mean from spine to bottom of chest has to be quite big.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

I see where you guys are coming from with the single pin but, elk hunting is a lot different than hunting whitetails out of a tree. I've had bulls at 10yds break and run from catching scent only to cow call and stop them at 40-60yds. That's my biggest problem trying to talk myself into a single pin. Too many times weird things happen hunting the elk rut. Elk hunting is a different game I'll give you that. But I would still like to believe that if my floater was on 40. I could adjust up and hit vitals at 60.. I would think that comes down to you and your bow and how much you practice things like that
