Why We Love Multi-Pin Sights

From arrow rests to release aids to stabilizers, you have plenty of options for customizing your rig with accessories that could make you a more effective bowhunter. But one of the most important selections you can make is your bow sight. Here’s why we think multi-pin sights are the best bet for many bowhunters.

Set it and forget it. Once you get your multi-pin sight dialed for the various distances, you don’t have to tinker with it again unless you make other changes to your bow. Single-pin sights require repeated adjustments in the field as your intended target moves while you wait for the perfect broadside shot. But with a multi-pin sight, you can remain at full draw while that buck or bull moves in from 30 yards to 20, and your sight — equipped with pins for those ranges — will still be ready to do the job.

Stay stealthy. Eliminating the movements required to let down your bow and mess with a single pin can also make you more stealthy when even the slightest shift in weight can spook a monster and send him running. A multi-pin sight simply reduces the potential for giving your spot away.

Minimize the learning curve. Bowhunting can come with a steep learning curve for newbies. From mastering proper form to understanding tactics, it can be a bit overwhelming. A multi-pin sight can make one less thing for an inexperienced hunter to struggle with. Sights with four or five pins, such as the Tack Driver or Starvation Bead Bow Sight, are much easier for new archers to use than single-pin sights that can take months to get used to.

If you want an accurate, low-maintenance bow sight that’s easy to use and doesn’t require tweaks in the field, stick with a multi-pin option. Dead Ringer offers a variety of bow sights in multiple price ranges for every archer.
