HHA One Pin sight

GCTerpfan said:
I'm with you on the geometry and understand what you are saying but, I just don't understand why it doesn't also apply to a multi pin setup. Add a pin above or below the center pin in your drawing and you can't line either one of them up without also changing your anchor. What am I missing?

Whether you are shooting a single or multi pin sight you are always centering your sight housing. While shooting a single pin your housing moves for each distance you would like to shoot but on a fixed pin the housing never moves and you would still center the housing but put the pin for whatever range you are shooting on the target. Your anchor point will slightly move while shooting a single pin but it is very small amount.

Exactly
 
And I'm not looking for a argument. Just stating the fact.
If anyone argues the point, they need to go back to school. It's not rocket science. Or maybe it is since the arrow trajectory is a factor lol.
And back to the fact. Set a 20 yard pin, then set a 100 yard pin. And then tell me your anchor didn't change.
Be honest to yourself, cause I don't care what u do. Lol

Okay, that makes sense now. That was the part I was not understanding as I don't think I have never shot bow with sights. It just all seems so complicated, it's much easier just to look at what you want to hit and then hope the arrow goes there. :grinning:

You have to bend at the waist. A kisser button will help you keep a consistent anchor point. Don't take you nose off the string. If your anchor point would change you would never be consistent. Your bow arm will move up and down but you anchor point should stay pretty consistent. That's all I have to say on the subject.

I myself have 47 years of bowhunting and archery experience . Worked at a archery shop for years . Like I said we will agree to disagree. That what makes this site great guys have different opinions and still everyone gets along.
 
So i shoot a single pin hha, and I sort of see what your saying about feeling a difference at different ranges, but I feel like its more my head position changes slightly to acquire the peep and less that my anchor changes.

For what it’s worth, I use a handheld release and anchor at the end of my jaw. So that doesn’t change for me.
 
By the way, does anyone know if I can buy just the housing for an HHA in case I want to seap out the single for a multi and back again?

Do me a favor. Get your bow, run your sight all the way up, draw it back and look thru the peep. then let it all the way down and do the same. If your anchor don't change, then your peep and housing won't line up.

Btw, I don't take my stuff to any bow shop. But all the bow shops brings me stuff they can't figure out. Including the mossy oak guys that live a few miles from me.

If your doing that, your compromising your anchor. But I'm glad you see my point. Thank you

I see you’re point, and think what you’re saying is probably technically true(no, I didn’t test it) but my accuracy has only gone up since switching to a single pin slider.

If you’re trying to prove a point that using a sliding sight changes your anchor, I think you’ve done that. But outside of that I don’t see why that should matter if accuracy and confidence increase.

I also agree with other members that the anchor change is negligible - at least for compound shooters. I run a kisser button and anchor at corner of mouth, string on tip of nose, and knuckle same spot on my face. Never had any issues shooting my single pin slider at multiple ranges out to 60 yards this way.

accuracy only comes with a proper tuned bow and the person firing the bow. sites, style of shooting, releases and other stuff don't matter. what matters most is the confidence that the shooter has while he or she is shooting.
 
It's my go to sight as well
