Are you annoyed by the multiple pins in your sight because they block your view?
Do you think that you just have to get used to it?
You are wrong!
Single pin sights are an awesome alternative and in many ways better than sights with many pins!
Hi, I am Moritz and I am an archery veteran.
I have been shooting with all types of bows for over 10 years.
For a long time, I thought that sights with multiple pins are the best sights.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Find out why below!
If you are looking for high-quality single pin bow sights, I have a great one right here for you.
The TruGlo Range Rover Pro Sight, I am going to talk about below, is one of the best single pin sights I have tried.
Follow along to find out, why I think you should consider trying this sight:
Name: TruGlo Range Rover Pro Archers Choice
Pins: 1
Specialty: Yardage Dial
Availability: Right Hand and Left Hand
Best Place to Buy: Amazon.com
My Rating: 9 out of 10
Maybe you have been using 3- or 5-pin sights and are wondering why you would trade this for a sight that has only one pin.
One huge advantage is, that you don’t have multiple pins which can get in your way when taking aim. Some archers have the problem that the pins seem to “blur together” and they can’t focus on the one pin they need in that situation.
A single pin sight has a much higher field of view, so you will have an easier time to look through it to aim at your target.
Another plus of this single pin sight is that you are not limited regarding the distances you want to shoot at.
A 5-pin sight gets adjusted to 5 different distances and everything between or below has to be estimated by the archer and he will have to aim higher or lower.
With a single pin sight like the TruGlo Range Rover Sight, you have almost unlimited options to adjust the sight to the current distance.
Once sighted in, you will just have to turn its dial to set the pin, so you won’t need to aim higher or lower.
So my main advantages of this sight over a multiple pin bow sight are:
Like all other sights as well, you will need to sight in the TruGlo sight first.
Follow the included instructions to do that, or ask another experienced archer if you have never done it yourself.
Once you have sighted it in at 20 yards and another mark (e.g. 40 yards), all you need to do is use the yard tape which comes with the sight and you are all set.
From then on, you only need to turn the yard dial and by doing that adjust the sight to any distance in the set range.
It doesn’t get easier than that. (Watch the video a bit down below to learn how to use the yard tapes.)
The dial features a micro-adjust windage for the most precise targeting possible.
What I also love about this sight is that it is ambidextrous, so it can be used with a right and left-hand bow.
There are many sights that don’t offer this option, which makes the TruGlo sight stand out.
It has a removable rheostat light, but the pin itself is bright enough for most archery situations.
If you notice that the pin is not as bright as expected you should contact TruGlo to replace the fiber.
The sight is made to take a lens, too, but you will need to get that extra if you want to use one.
Last but not least you can even mount a quiver (not included) to the bracket of the sight.
There is only a small thing I can complain about:
While the manufacturer states that it can be used for left-hand bows, there are a few small problems you will face when using it as a left hander.
First, the range pin might not be visible as good as when it is on the other side.
Second, your riser might block the sight so that you can’t use the recommended bolt holes and therefore might have to use the upper ones which will hinder you from using the full yard range of the sight.
Other than that I didn’t find any negative things about this single pin sight.
Other than the problems that left-handers might experience with, it the TruGlo Range Rover Sight is the perfect sight for everybody who wants to get a single pin bow sight.
It is super easy to mount, to sight in and it will give you a great and precise archery experience.
You can’t go wrong with this sight.
If you agree with me that this is a fantastic sight for a very fair price, then you can get the TruGlo Range Rover Pro Sight here.
