Single Pin Bow Sights

The single-pin sight features one aiming point that you move up and down to match the distance to your target. They require a sight tape, which plots yardage marks that guide your sight movements. Those sight tapes have to match your arrow speed in order to provide accurate distance markings.

One of the most common reasons for shots being consistently off target is that you’re shooting arrows with a weak spine. Arrows that are too weak for your bow will cause them to bend too much in flight, making them hit off target.

How far can a bow shoot accurately?

While modern bows can shoot arrows up to 400 yards at speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour, the bow is a short-range hunting tool. Depending on the circumstances, the maximum distance is 30 to 40 yards. At that range, it’s common for an arrow to pass completely through an animal.

What happens if arrow spine is too weak?

If the arrow’s spine is too weak or too stiff, the arrow will not correct itself as soon as it should while in flight. If that arrow is weak and continues to flex (has a low spine rating), it’s going to veer off target. Likewise, if the arrow is unforgivingly stiff, it also won’t follow the path the archer intends.
