That is what I have mine at. I read somewhere that some set it for 25 and 35 and 45.
Thanks, Jigfish

Depends on your bow. If its a newer faster then you can probably get away with top pin to 30.
But a safe way is the 25,35, 45 etc

it depends. what yardage do you normally shoot? Do you have 3 or 5 pin sight? Mine, 25,30,35, 40, and 45.
 Why are you still talking, I stopped listening a long time ago!!

Yep, that be mine too. All depends on your arrow speed and how far you are confident/comfortable shooting. 5-pin Spot Hogg works for me. I'll launch one with confidence at elk-sized game at 60, but with deer my comfort zone is 3 pins and under.
Thank you dear Lord for equipping me with incisors.

What range is your maximum? How far can you consistently put an arrow in the boiler room? You'll need to answer that before you know where to set your furthest pin. Then work your way in.

I only use one pin 0-25 yards.
I had one for 30 but never used it and didnt like the idea so I took it of to keep myself from making bade decisions.

15-20-30-40-50 but it depends on the range you shoot at you location. No need to have a 60 pin if you don't have a shot over 40 yards.
