Thanks for the input brother, I'm shooting a Mathews tx5 60 lbs draw 28-inch draw and 400 grain arrows.
Yea I think I’m going to go with a good one pin. So I can get rid of the sight clutter, I hunt a lot of thick cover and swamps so my shots are not far. So you have any recommendations for a one pin?Your bow will show you the way.
But I have Switchback XT and Legacy Mathews bows, and for me at 29” draw and mid to high 400grain arrows, I’m very comfortable to 25yds with one pin. I’ve been shooting DWs of 60-70lbs through the years. Your bow is much faster on paper.
Thanks broBlack Gold Mountain Lite Dual Trac.

yea I have been looking at dialed archery they have a nice bridge lock sight but$$$$Honestly, I don’t have a specific recommendation. I’d select for durability first. I see your bow has bridgelok. Not sure what’s available there and how secure bridgelok is.
With one pin, it’s all about making sure that pin doesn’t move. (Unless it‘s a slider system).
Thanks bro!!These videos are worth looking:
How to set your bow sights to a "ONE PIN SYSTEM"
Single Pin Bow Sight Hack
My favorite setup for shots 40 yards and in is a 2 pin fixed sight. I had Spot Hogg customize the pin setup (small fee) of a Grinder. The top pin is green and their largest pin size and it is in the horizontal position for the pins. The bottom pin is the next size down and red. It is in the bottom pin position so it is angled up. I did this on purpose so that the top pin draws the eye and you have to think about going for the lower pin. The top pin is set at 25 yards and the bottom is 40 yards. With a modern bow that shoots over 250 fps (mine is 265), you can easily shoot 0 to 40 yards with this. I don't like that when you slide a slider that you have to change your anchor point to center the sight housing in the peep.
It seems like everyone jumps from 1 pin to 3 or more and passes 2 pin right by. Also, the standard 10 yard pin increments were used back when bows were way slower and has stuck around (in part due to our base ten counting system)
Exactly. It is like sighting in a rifle like a 30-06 to be 2 inches high at 100 yards. At 20 yards it may be 2 inches low (depending on scope to bore height) and it is within the kill zone out to maybe 325 yards depending on the cartridge. It's the idea of maximum point-blank range. You can do the exact same with a bow, just at much shorter distances. Set up like that you don't have to think about the sights when an animal is coming in. Put the pin where you want it and contrate on making the shot, not worrying with setting or moving sights at the moment of truth.I’ve been using a single pin for decades. Within X distance (depending on you and your bow’s specific parameters) if the animal comes in within X distance, point and pull on that deers vital zone and there is no guesswork. The arrow will fall within the 8inch vital zone of the deer from 0 to Y yardage by just aiming on the “point” of the upper front leg. @kyler1945 linked his video on this same premise above.
